Tuesday 21st April 2026 - Bullseye! Rich and Ally are back after a brief hiatus with the biggest news story from Spain, involving serious injury to a Spanish man, so no laughs in this one. What do you mean, just like normal?Wednesday 22nd April 2026 - Ma-kak-que - It’s been a difficult week with no sleep for Rich, but luckily he is a pro and none of that makes it to the screen and it’s another serious news day covering Barbary Apes, Finnish sky penises and the interview that all the media wanted. Everything is OK. You have nothing to fear. Apart from Ally coming to your house in the night which is about 50% likely to happen. Sorry.Friday 24th April 2026 - Nuke Em - Rich and Ally are back for the last Newsround of the Week and Rich is a bit tired from performing every night. How did John Craven do it? Not that this is anything like anything he did. They talk about nuclear war and York City’s promotion chances. Would a nuclear bomb or York failing to get promotion be worse? That’s just one of the questions that is not addressed in this episode, which might include some songs.

RHLSTP Book Club #177 - Witch Trial - Rich talks to best selling author and brilliant and terrifying Traitors contestant Harriet Tyce about her phenomenal fifth novel, Witch Trial. Obviously there’s a bit of Traitors chat as they discuss the decision to go in and whether it’s helped with book sales, but mainly we’re looking at the effect of taking an MA in creative writing and why it might help you write a best selling novel, Harriet’s decision not to put out her second novel (or her earlier work that I would really like to see), the inspiration for Witch Trial, the real spooky stuff in Edinburgh that you can see in the National Museum, writing from the male perspective, the incredible ending of this book which we can’t really discuss but that I doubt you’ll guess, creating an atmosphere with two short early chapters and when in the process she wrote these and the possibility of a sequel. Plus Harriet does a Lee and Herring reference, almost like she’s as excited to meet me as I am to meet her.Buy the book here - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/witch-trial-don-t-miss-the-extraordinary-brand-new-thriller-from-the-sunday-times-million-copy-bestselling-author-available-to-pre-order-now-harrie/d50dd98898dbdd03SUPPORT 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
