RHLSTP Book Club 107 - Michael Redmond
Book Club #107 - Eamon, Older Brother of Jesus - Richard chats to stand up legend and surprisingly underused Father Ted star Michael Redmond about his book Eamon, Older Brother of Jesus and the surprisingly controversial history of the story, from stand-up show, to radio show that was cancelled at the last minute, to self-published book. They also talk about the early-ish days of alternative comedy, playing the Tunnel Club, National Bring a Jockey To Work Day, the Pasquale family’s love of his material, the lovely joke in Michael’s will and what he looks like without the moustache.

RHLSTP Book Club 106 - Stefan Stern
Book Club #106 - Fair or Foul - The Lady Macbeth Guide to Ambition - Richard chats to journalist and friend Stefan Stern about his terrific book about the positives and negatives of ambition, Fair or Foul. What prompted him to tackle this subject? Why is the play Macbeth the perfect scaffolding for this discussion and what do people need for their ambitions to be considered a success. They chat about Boris Johnson, Elizabeth Holmes, the effect of lockdown and mortality on ambitions, why you need to set goals and why you need to be able to change those goals as you move along. Why do we lose ambition somewhat in middle age and is it just to do with our failure to achieve what we hoped to achieve and is ambition tied to mental illness or is that only the case if we are only out for ourselves.

RHLSTP 512 - Nick Wilty
#512 Veteran - Rich is back in Canterbury and has some great stuff about medieval archbishops that should play well on Live at the Apollo. His guest is veteran comedian and army veteran, Nick Wilty. He is a man with the most extraordinary life who has talked himself and others out of deadly situation. Amazing stories include convincing someone not to jump off a bridge before returning to the same spot in a different position the next year, having a gun in his face whilst hitchhiking, how he became an unlikely soldier, the incredible bad luck that led him to become a comedian, being arrested for flying a drone and how a chance encounter with the helicopter that he’d nearly died in led him to finally confront his past and do a stand up show about his experience in the Falklands

RHLSTP Book Club 105 - Rob and Neil Gibbons
Book Club #105 - Alan Partridge Big Beacon - The time has come for the creator of Alan Partridge to meet the current writers of Alan Partridge, the Gibbons Brothers, who sadly don’t share a bunk bed, but have done amazing work over the last decade or so with the character. They discuss how they ended up with this lucrative gig, how not being obsessive Partridge fans helped them to reinvent the character somewhat, how writing as Alan involves turning off your imagination and going with the first idea, whether writing as siblings is easier than writing with a friend, choosing the right reference points for the audience and whether the creators of Partridge (especially Richard) have all turned into Alan Partridge

RHLSTP 511 - Tony Gardner
#511 What You On? - Richard is back in Colchester with possibly the greatest example of a local news story that there has ever been. His guest is doctor turned actor Tony Gardner. They chat about being bitten by an over enthusiastic zombie, the decision to go to Edinburgh that would change his life, how it became impossible to keep both his GP job and acting work going, his reluctance to do children’s TV, but how My Parents Are Aliens changed his life and led to a very impressive CV, as well as slight weirdness when out enjoying Glastonbury or filming sex scenes. And no, sorry, he isn’t the bloke who designed the Chucky doll.

Customer Reviews
If I could give it six stars, I would probably still give it a five (joking!)
I was hanging out with Brian Blessed and Adam Buxton the other day. We were all talking about how great men with beards are, when one of them said “Does anyone still listen to RHLSTP?” That’s what they called it. And I said yeah, it’s the best. If you don’t know already, Richard is probably best known, best known for his work on the BBC 4 radio program “Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World”. That’s why I tuned in originally. But look, I can’t imagine anyone who regularly listened to podcasts hasn’t at least had a crack at one of Richard’s podcast streams, but if you haven’t, and appreciate a good laugh, I’d highly recommend giving it a try. If I could give it six stars, I’d probably still give it five (joking!).
Mais ou trouve-il ces idées fou?
Je trouve que cette podcast est très chic.
Please sir, can I have some more
Please don’t stop. Keep them coming.
In my top three poddies ever. Every episode (except the two with an obnoxious guest) is brilliant.
Great job Gamcaster.
