Rich and Ally's Craven Newsround Compilation - Shrinkflaktion

Wednesday 23rd September 2026 - Shrinkflaktion - After a brief personal spat Rich and Ally look at Ebola and chocolate bars, but not at the same time. Has chocolate got smaller? Did it get bigger under Tony Blair’s leadership? Why didn’t Ally sing “Twix can only get bigger” at that point? Is brand curator a job that you can be proud of? And a special report from inside a chocolate factory, but by which character? Thursday 24th September 2026 - News 101 - The latest opinion polls are out and it’s bad news for Nigel Farage, but not particularly good news for any of the parties, though Andy Burnham seems particularly happy. We visit Farage in his natural surroundings to find out how he feels about it all and Rich hedges his bets so he won’t be first up against the wall if people fail to vote to keep him out. Friday 25th September 2026 - Beetroot Fairytale Palaces - Reporting the stories you won’t see in the Lamestream media, Rich and Ally give a full report on this year’s massive vegetable competition. With some warnings to those of you intending to make some cumpkins this year. I would write more but I need to pick my won up from school.

Paddy Young - "Ultrasound Tester"

RHLSTP #628 - Ultrasound Tester - It’s the second recording of the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe and Rich is still trying to keep fit and also wondering if he knows where he has stayed in Edinburgh in the past. His guest is SNL UK star, Paddy Young. They chat about the power of the moustache, Scrabble tactics, Paddy slicing his hand with a samurai sword, how Rich plans to save himself from his ageing groupies, whether Rich is delighted to be on the housing ladder whilst everyone of Paddy’s generation has to share the same flat, if there’s any danger of Paddy being the Chevy Chase of SNL UK and how long he can hope to play Andy Burnham. Plus Paddy is confounded but game when he gets some Emergency Questions.

Mike Bubbins (Retro) - "Podcast Teeth"

#449 Podcast Teeth - Richard risks some Jingle/Mingle material, topical at time of recording, but hopefully nostalgic by the time the podcast comes out. Plus good news for those of you who come to live recordings - he’s clearing out his garage, so you might get presents! His guest is Welsh sex-mountain Mike Bubbins. They discuss whether croissants should be wrapped, the power of the moustache, the infamy of Barry Island, the wonder of Parkinson and the unusual combination of confidence and not being an arsehole that Bubbins exudes. Plus news on his new TV series, why he stopped refereeing U13 rugby and an amusing case of mistaken identity.

Shakespeare

In this episode, recorded live at the Shakespeare North Playhouse in Prescot, Greg Jenner is joined by Professor Farah Karim-Cooper and comedian Richard Herring to learn all about the life, legend and legacy of William Shakespeare himself. 2023 marks the 400th anniversary of the publication of the First Folio of Shakespeare’s plays, which preserved his work for future generations. But how did a boy from the Midlands become the most famous playwright in the English-speaking world, and how did the publication of the folio contribute to his legacy? This episode explores Shakespeare’s life, career and dramatic works, as well as the reception of his plays in the centuries after his death, and the creation of his legend in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Penn Jillette and Piff the Magic Dragon - "Sponge Bunnies"

RHLSTP #627 - Sponge Bunnies - Rich is back at the Podcast Room and his guests are two of the world’s top magicians Penn Jillette (sadly without Teller, although let’s say he was there, you’d never know the difference and Piff the Magic Dragon, currently in the UK with their urine soaked magic show, Piff and Pop’s Magic Shop. Penn, who said before that he wouldn’t be saying much, says a lot and gives us some great background on his reluctant appearance on Miami Vice, Piff performs some audio-described magic (whilst not doing magic) and Rich regrets not having a posse, Piff then does some real magic, though it’s Rich who is really doing it. Rich finally gets them to talk about their new show which has an impressive denouement and Piff explains why it was better not to win America’s Got Talent. They don’t even get time to talk about Piff cloning his dog for $60,000 or any of the other stuff Rich had ready to discuss, but it’s a surreal and wonderful 45 minutes of mayhem.

David Quantick and Chris Barker on The Lost Films of Hollywood - Book Club

RHLSTP Book Club #194 - The Lost Films of Hollywood - Rich has a remote chat with two men who have collaborated on an amazing book and art project yet never spoken to each other before, David Quantick and Chris Barker. They discuss where the idea to create a calendar and book imagining that famous movies were remakes, and showing the poster of the original came from, how it became an immediate kickstarter success story, getting the tone it all right, deciding to self-publish and why it’s such an appealing concept. Plus David talks about his new novel The Hyena (out in November). I highly recommend you rush to buy remaining copies of Lost Films right now! You won’t regret it.

Jenny Eclair (Retro) - "Hi di Hi"

#446 Hi di Hi - Richard is doing more topical jokes that will be slightly out of date at time of broadcast but a valuable resource for the people of the future. His guest is comedian, author and potato hat wearer Jenny Eclair. They chat about the Bay City Rollers, the portrait of Les Gray, how cystitis ruined the bingo, the sexual allure of Greg Davies, childish comedians coping with the devastation of middle age, whether Richard will survive to have any life after his children have left home, their various ear complaints and how Jenny met her husband under a car. Not quite the topics of discussion when they shared a flat at the Fringe in the 1990s.

David Mitchell - "A Special Place in Hell"

RHLSTP #612 - A Special Place in Hell - Rich has an apology to make regarding bird g******s. His guest is RHLSTP favourite David Mitchell. There’s lots of rarely if ever asked emergency questions and chat about John Kearns’ eight stone rabbit, a joke about Ludwig that one listener will enjoy, returning to sketch shows and whether this might see the return of another nineties double act, what it’s like to work on Rick and Morty (if you don’t know anything about it), the easiest audiobook job of all time, some chat about what the Hell Satan is up to and a new take on It’s a Knockout. It’s a delight as you can imagine, but which person would Richard bring back from the dead? If you can think of it then you’re as bad as him. SUPPORT THE SHOW!

Adam Buxton (Retro) - "C**k Bongo"

Ed Fringe 2011 #25 - C**k Bongo - It's the end, my friends and someone is set to win half a bottle of olive oil, some Weetabix and the monarchy of Edinburgh. And we've saved the best till last as Count Buckules is here to tell us about the times he has said inappropriate things on 6Music, how his computer cable must be placed "just so", a trip to New Zealand with a ventriloquist, what a c**k bongo would involve and what it would take for him to fellate Keith Allen. Rich is remarkably indiscreet as always, spreading possibly libellous rumours about certain celebrities and revealing the genesis of a famous Stewart Lee sketch and a classic bit of Alan Partridge. Thanks to everyone at The Stand and at the British Comedy Guide for their sterling work. Might we do it again next year? ... Surely not.

Wednesday 16th September 2026 - No Immediate Protocol - Rich and Ally discuss pottery, dead dogs and the impact of our mackerel report, before reporting on another story that the lamestream media won’t touch, an athlete pooing themselves during a contest.

Mhairi Black - "Maths is Sh*te"

RHLSTP #626 - Maths is Sh*te - Rich is back at the Edinburgh Fringe, 39 years after his first appearance. His guest is fiery MP turned brilliant comic, Mhairi Black. They talk about how she became the youngest MP since 1667 (maybe), why the toxic, alcohol-sodden Houses of Parliament was not the place for her, her record breaking swearing, calling Rishi Sunak a d******d (or not), impressing David Cameron and the media attention and death threats that come with it all. Plus thoughts on Farage, Scottish Independence and Brexit in Mhairi’s usual uncompromising stance. Plus ghosts, ham hands, how Mhairi pivoted into acting and the ultimately doomed United Kingdom and its outdated parliament. Great start to the Edinburgh run.
