RHLSTP with Richard Herring

RHLSTP #599 - This Isn’t Tescos Is It? - It’s another studio RHLSTP with actor, writer, public speaker, disability advocate and (occasionally) awful man, Adam Pearson. They chat about looking for antiques during Covid, growing up with Neurofibromatosis and how the condition affected his twin brother differently, acting alongside Scarlett Johansson, working on the Undateables, Adam’s complex relationship with the Elephant Man and his plans to play him on screen and stage, believing in God and some great answers to some truly random Emergency Questions.

#424 Dick Pikachus - Richard attempts a poor stand up routine about fruit, but then comes up with a joke that will make you laugh,. One out of two isn’t bad. His guest is immigration lawyer and fantastic comedian Sikisa. They chat about dubious chocolate based nick-names, how the UK public might not fully understand lawyers or immigration, why recent Tory Home Secretaries have been so anti-immigration despite their own heritage, meeting your heroes and having a sexy dad. Plus why do ghosts love pubs, the perils of modern day dating and when technology mistakes you for your mum.

Monday 9th February - Penisgate - Rich and Ally are back after their deserved weekend break with all the news that’s fit to talk about. Today it’s the big controversy at the Winter Olympics, wherever that is, and the lengths and widths that male ski jumpers are prepared to go to to win. But is the real story perverted cock-obsessed journalists, which Rich and Ally definitely aren’t? With a live report from the slopes of the Olympics.

Wednesday 11th February 2026 - 20-Year-Old Ejaculate - Newsround is back after yesterday’s hiatus when no news happened, but the grown-up news has missed today’s big story, an interview with tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson the man who intends to live forever by going to bed at 8.30pm every night. Just like John Craven in the original Newsround, Rich displays his jealousy of a younger man’s ability to produce gametes, whilst Ally warns of the dangers of eternal life. Exactly like John Craven’s Newsround. Which this is nothing like. Look out for the new titles too. Thanks Andy Bobbin.

Thursday 12th February 2026 - Tomato Sauce Science - Rich and Ally are back with some of your comments about the new titles. Well suck it. They discuss new evidence that suggests the Turin Shroud may not be really the shroud of Christ, for all those of you who thought this was wrapped up (no pun intended) already. Do we need evidence to believe in Jesus and isn’t it more important to follow his philosophy? Is St John a liar? Has Ally confused Jesus with Pinocchio? And is Jesus back now, saying wise things? Maybe on a short YouTube video, rather than a mount.

RHLSTP Book Club #169 - This Way Up: When Maps Go Wrong (and Why It Matters) - Rich meets one of the Map Men, Jay Foreman to talk about the fantastic book he’s written along with Mark Cooper-Jones about maps and what happens when they go wrong. They chat about the murky story of how the Map Men got together, why they are so many stories around maps, why Richard couldn’t watch Tiswas in Cheddar and how young people don’t know how lucky they are, trying to navigate through London using a map of Paris, how an inset box on a map affected the US/Canada border, the non-existent town that suddenly came into existence (or did it?) navigating by testicles and medieval satnavs.

RHLSTP #598 - Bitten by a Bullet Ant - Richard is back at the Podcast Room with rapidly returning guest and mathematical whizz-man Matt Parker. They chat about what you have to do to get an asteroid named after you, breaking Rubik’s Cube and Space Invaders World Records (plus tips on how to play the game), whether your own dog is more important than a child you don’t know, the best possible name for a labrador, how Matt ended up in the UK and went from being a maths teacher to a maths entertainer, whether Matt Parker is a showbiz enough name, trying to scientifically quantity pain, whether all maths is wrong, why pi keeps cropping up in unexpected places (including the moon) and having a wedding ring made out of meteorite.
