RHLSTP with Richard Herring

RHLSTP 528 - Benjamin Partridge

Season 29, Ep. 28

#528 Chemistry - Richard is back in Cardiff, informing his audience of their history of weak punishment. His guest is award winning podcaster Benjamin Partridge. They discuss dangerous Welsh language television of the 1980s, how Ben got Nick Offerman on his podcast and their eventual awkward meeting, Rich’s brand new podcast idea to rid the world of a certain type of criminal, an incredible use for passata, an audience with Jeff Goldblum without Jeff Goldblum, why Tesco will be stocking up on rich beef sausages and why podcasting hasn’t yet fulfilled the creative potential that both these podcasters thought it would and the Russian prisoner who had a lateral thinking approach to the auto-fellatio question

    Monday 13th April 2026 Lord of the Dance - Donald Trump has declared himself the new Jesus, which is totally normal. But is he the real one? And who will challenge him on this? And why weren’t religious people annoyed about him before? You con’t get this on the grown-up newsTuesday 14th April 2026 - Who Doctor?- Sometimes on a fast moving show like Newsround we get it wrong. Today we make a sincere apology to anyone we have offended. It looks like tomorrow we might have to do more sincere apologies. But more up to the date news that you won’t see in the lamestream media.Wednesday 15th April 2026 - Tomb of Christ - Rich and Ally are back with an exclusive news story for everyone but mechanics, and a live report from the discovery of the tomb of our Lord Jesus Christ. Is he in there or not? Our reporter will tell you, but which reporter will it be today?Thursday 16th April 2026 - Beautiful Butterfly - Rich auditions for Saturday Night Live, but Ally is more interested in the revenge of Jesus in a very heavy Trump/Jesus week. Not too many songs if you don’t like that bit. Why would you only not like that bit, you idiot?Friday 17th April 2026 - Keir - back with all the genital based news from Apple News and definitely recorded today, rich and Ally discuss the nick name the Iranians have for our PM for an unheralded 5th Newsround of the week!

    Bonus 3 - In this resurfaced subscriber-exclusive podcast from 2022, Richard is asked a series of emergency questions by his ventriloquist dummy Ally Sloper, including his most mundane encounter with a famous person, and whether he would prefer a talcum powder tit or a finger that could travel through time.

  • 176. RHLSTP Book Club 176 - Emma Jane Unsworth

    40:13||Ep. 176
    RHLSTP Book Club #176 - Slags - Rich talks to author and screenwriter Emma Jane Unsworth about her newest novel, Slags, a tale of teenagers, sisters and secrets. They chat about writing about the 1990s and the changes in sexual mores and social media judgement that made our lives both harder and easier, writing about serious subjects in a very funny book, using teenage diaries and poetry for inspiration, using real-life details in fiction, why Emma went for this bold title and how doing an MA in Creative Writing helped her at the start of her career. Also her dad’s resolution not to use the portaloos at the Also Festival and Emma’s forthcoming appearance there and what age constitutes middle-age (I don’t think Rich can pretend any longer - or might be beyond it).Buy the book here https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/slags-emma-jane-unsworth/0b2e7f200de66d89See details of the Also festival here https://www.also-festival.com/SUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE

    Tuesday April 7th 2026 - King of the Farts - Rich and Ally are back on Rich’s 14th Wedding Anniversary to finally determine whether men or women have the worst smelling flatus. Yes, it’s as bad as it sounds. If you need to get up to speed on Baggy Pants and the Nitwits head here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmZj7m_u74g&t=3sWednesday 8th April 2026 - Knicky-Knacky-Knocks - A clearly tired and emotional Richard Herring celebrates the end of the war and the great man who has brought about peace, whilst Ally tries to start an all-out superpower confrontation partly to put viewers of this show out of their misery. All this and an AI Jesus. What’s not to love?Thursday 9th April 2026 - Angels - Rich is back from the brink and ready to do a documentary on his breakdown. Today he and Ally discuss why people shouldn’t be allowed to look old and also shouldn’t be allowed to try not to look old. Minimal singing to appease the kind of people who think anything is worth saying on YouTube. And also to annoy the people who think anything is worth saying on Youtube if they like the singing.Friday 10th April 2026 - Melania - Rich and Ally discuss Melania’s recent Epstein based statement and try to work out if it’s possible to predict anything coming out of the White House. With a guest spot from someone who was also not a friend of Epstein and has no connection with him and doesn’t know who he is. Weird we got him on really.

    RHLSTP #606 - Why Nicholas Lyndhurst Is Like John Travolta - It’s another Podcast Rooms episode - I like them, do you? This week’s guest is someone Rich has known since drunken nights in the 90s in Edinburgh, actor, comedian and writer Wendy Wason. They chat about why Johnny Depp and John Malkovich touched Wendy’s tummy together, writing a play about witch hunts both historic and modern day, the possible power of crystals and why it’s OK for people to believe any rubbish they want (apart from flat earthers) and deciding to start doing stand up when your baby is 6 weeks old because it’s possible to do anything once you’ve created an actual human.SUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE

    Monday 30th March 2026 - Male G-Spot and Demons. In what promises to be the last Newsround ever, Rich and Ally take a deep dive into genital licking and what combination of tongue and genital are acceptable to discuss with children, plus we look at JD Vance’s claims that aliens are demons and why he knows for sure that the devil doesn’t exist. Thanks for your support. Don’t bother coming back tomorrow. We won’t be here.Tuesday March 31st 2026 - Icarus - Rich and Ally are back temporarily as Rich waits for the call from the TV people. Today they look at the main celebrity news story, a not very famous man cutting himself with an apple peeler. Witness how the lame stream media makes more of this story, whilst only we tell you the truthThursday 2nd April 2026 - C**t up the *** - After an hilarious April Fool’s joke Rich and Ally are back to discover if the moon landing was real and how astronauts get the trajectory to get out into space. With the first extra terrestrial report. But who will be the reporter today? Can you guess?Friday 3rd April 2026 - Randy - It’s a party atmosphere as Easter approaches, but the team are all working, making sure the big stories and real music hall songs get to you before the lamestream media cab do anything about it. Today we look at Trump sacking his top officials and poignantly remember the death of our Christ and Messiah. Happy Easter to any Christians still here after this episode. Turn the other cheek.
  • 175. RHLSTP Book Club 175 - Chris Evans (not that one)

    43:42||Ep. 175
    RHLSTP Book Club #175 - GoFasterStripe.com - A bit of a different Book Club as for the first time we’re not talking to an author, but an independent publisher - Chris Evans (not that one). Hear the remarkable story of how his business empire began, his unusual business ethos, why he branched out into books, how Andrew Collins almost destroyed everything, why he wants to produce books that look good as well as read good, how he chooses what to publish and why doing something you love is (luckily) more important than making money. What a nice man he is. Should have been our easiest show to record, but had more technical screw ups than I can remember having in one of these. But our incompetence is our charmCheck out the amazing catalogue of downloads and books here http://gofasterstripe.comSupport the gofasterstripe.com club here - http://gofasterstripe.com/clubSUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE

    01:05:54||Season 33, Ep. 13
    RHLSTP #605 - Baileys Solero - Rich is back at the Podcast Room for some intimate studio chats so no rubbish stand up, just an hour or more of CHAT with the lovely (in real life) and amusingly bitchy (on stage) Stephen Bailey. They talk about writing letters to channel heads asking to be on telly, becoming a stand up, even though you’re not a fan of stand-up, the unexpected shy and academic childhood and how Stephen transformed into the confident broadcaster he is today, working on Corrie and the genius of Russell T Davis and Sally Lindsay, wearing a wedding dress on the Zoe Ball TV show, being friends with Tony Robinson and why it’s weird not to have any friends from before you were on TV and the cock and Ferrero Rocher crossover between Stephen and Richard’s acts.See Stephen at the Soho Theatre - https://sohotheatre.com/events/stephen-bailey-tart/SUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE
