10th November 2026 - The Spiderman of History - Rich and Ally are back with all the big news from the last 1099 years. Today it’s way back to 927 to discuss the first English King, Athalstan as Ed Davey, a bloke from Reform and a man who isn’t Spiderman are trying to get a bank holiday for. Rich joins this unholy triumvirate and not because he wants a day off for his birthday.
13th November 2026 - Space Probe Past Uranus - It’s Friday 13th, unlucky for some, but Rich and Ally are getting the news from the very boundaries of the solar system as they check in on the Voyager probe, almost one light day away from home. Look out for a surprise reporter. And thanks once again to the wonderful Richard Ison for his incredible work.

RHLSTP Book Club #201 - Tomb of the Golden Skull - Richard chats to the man who co-created the Games Workshop and the amazing Fighting Fantasy book series (amongst many other successes) about his latest role-playing adventure book, Tomb of the Golden Skull. Rich is also joined by super-fan Joz Norris who is being kept in a separate location for Ian’s safety. They chat about how the Games Workshop started with very humble beginnings in Shepherd’s Bush in the early 70s, acquiring the European rights to Dungeons and Dragons, the furore over the effect that game (and the books) had on the nation’s youth and if the work was capable of making people levitate, how in fact the books led to an upsurge in literacy and became much loved memories for people like Rich who now plays them with his son, and people like Joz who despite being an adult is an avid collector of the series. Plus Ian’s mischievous attempts to make the books difficult, impossible and provide tough moral choices for his reader, the importance of the making the art in the books scary and real and his own personal favourites from the series.

RHLSTP #635 - Vet Threatener - Rich is back at the Podcast Room where he has been keeping his guest this week waiting in reception, but it’s Penn and Piff’s fault, it’s David Baddiel. They discuss Baddiel’s disastrous morning and why he has a big bike chain with him, but no bike, David’s new thriller “Hunting Alice Bell” (starts on Channel 4 on 28th October) and the real life events that inspired it and how the internet never forgets or lets you forget, appearing on Horrible Histories, but not Ghosts, trying to define Baddiel and the range of his work, appearing on Bake Off and why neither of these men will turn up on Strictly anytime soon.

#461 Judy Murray Nose Recorder - Richard is trying to teach his five year old to swear like someone from the 1980s. His guest is the man behind internet sensation Jazz Emu, Archie Henderson. They talk about where this extraordinary character came from, producing high quality internet content on a tiny budget, touring the USA in an RV, putting himself into the background of every photo of a random fan, the demons of sleep paralysis, whether Archie will follow in the footsteps of Minchin and the Conchords.

2nd November 2026 - Jousting on Lime Bikes - Rich and Ally start a new week by looking at the crazy things young people are getting up to today, with some warnings from history about what could go wrong. Plus a song about a mouse with a needle riding on a cat, as you would probably be expecting.
3rd November 2026 - Mouse Eunuchs - Rich and Ally continue to cover the stories that no one else will touch for fear of their shadowy overlords. Today it’s whether getting castrated can make you live longer (or will it just feel like it). Warning Richard gets his testicle out in this 5 minute live broadcast.
4th November 2026 - Snap Erection - There’s only one story worth covering in today’s news cycle and of course we have gone for that one. But with some opinions and ideas that you won’t have seen in the lamestream media, especially about breakfast.

RHLSTP Book Club #200 - Moreish - Rich has been reading the memoir of Superhans from Peep Show, though is unable to chat with the man himself, so instead talks to actor and stand-up Matt King. Matt talks about his terrifying year after a stroke in April, some of his other acting work, including a major role in a show that didn’t happen and why he decided to return to the character of Superhans and overcame the hurdles that allowed him to write this book. They chat about how much he become the character as he writes, why he wanted to give the character some depth (as well as explore the hilarious way Superhans brain works), how much of a challenge the audio book was and how the last eighth of the book had to be written post-stroke. Plus the autobiography and more Superhans books to come. A really fascinating and inspiring conversation.

RHLSTP #634 - Heckled by Van Morrison - The second part of this extraordinary interview with comedian, actor and writer Lenny Henry. Rich quizzes Lenny about his attempt to break America with the film Eddie Murphy rejected, True Identity and how it led to Lenny taking control of his future projects, how the Three of a Kind were chosen and why it triumphed over other sketch shows of the era, Lenny’s illustrious acting career and the tricky role that both Rich and he have played, plus appearing on the brilliant The Assembly. Lenny’s latest tour show Still at Large will continue in late 2027.

#460 Perfectly Plated Avocado Toast - Richard records his sixth podcast in four days (how is that even possible?) and has a new question about what constitutes cheating. His guest is gazebo building stand-up, Ed Byrne. They discuss why he hasn’t been on the show as often as Sara Pascoe, how many lives he has saved, how Angela Griffin possibly got the edge over Ed and his wife on Mr and Mrs and the humour that can be found in the worst circumstances and why Ed has chosen to write a show about the death of his brother, Paul. Rich also attempts to replace Ed with AI (not so he can cheat with him though) and possibly for the second time questions his Neanderthal heritage.

27/10/26 Nuclear Perineum - Rich and Ally are back. Or are they? Is this even happening? Let’s hope not because our PM has advised us to stuck up on legumes for an upcoming and unspecified disaster. Well, it can’t be worse than what’s happening here.
29/10/26 Take Me To Poundland - Rich and Ally cover the big news of the day, the fact that Poundland might be going out of business. What could have caused this? Plus a report from a Poundland where you can get batteries for a pound, but probably not very good ones.
30/10/26 Cryptocuntacy - It’s the last Newsround of the week and the month and maybe ever if it keeps nose-diving at this rate. Rich and Ally discuss the daring theft of some imaginary money by some people who don’t deserve it from some people who did nothing to earn it. Plus a report from inside a Cryptomine.

RHLSTP Book Club #199 - I Think My Name is Brodie - Rich interviews the legendary interviewer Clive Anderson about his career and his surprising new book from a dog’s point of view, I Think My Name is Brodie. Find out how Clive performed on the first night of the Comedy Store, how he wrote most of the defining sketch for Smith and Jones, how his interviewing technique got him into occasional trouble (which Rich can identify with) and what really happened with the Bee Gees. They also talk about the unique bond between a dog and its human, why Clive wanted to write a memoir for a dog, how he chose the voice for the audiobook and what prompted this unexpected direction. Plus some stuff about Edward I and what a strong and unpleasant man he was.

RHLSTP #633 - OoooooKaaaaaay - Rich is back at the Podcast Room talking to someone who first rang his comedy bell, it’s Sir Lenny Henry. They chat about the early years of Lenny’s long and varied career, why Lenny feels comfortable talking about some of the more personal and difficult parts of his childhood in his latest stand up tour “Still At Large”, why Tiswas was so important to Richard (and arguably more important to Lenny), working with Cannon and Ball at the height of their fame, the transition from working men’s club to the alternative comedy circuit (and how Lenny is one of the last links to the comedians of the 70s) and the madness of the Black and White Minstrel Show and Lenny’s reluctant part in it. Incredible stories from a comedian who has really seen it all over the last 50+years.

#457 Platinum Heart - Rich is back in New Milton to continue his Edinburgh Fringe without going to Edinburgh run and is a bit perplexed by a T shirt that Twitter has been trying to make him buy. His guest is veteran stand-up and cheater of death Markus Birdman. They chat about his journeyman status on the circuit, whether being at a school where your dad worked propelled both Rich and Markus towards comedy, Markus' decision to go on Britain’s Got Talent and whether Simon Cowell understands comedy, how Markus has turned two strokes and a heart operation into comedy, a scary ghost story and why two motorcycle accidents was enough to stop Markus getting on a bike again (not Rich though - he loves motorcycling).

19/10/26 Ameliorate the Situation - Rich and Ally start a brand new week covering the only news stories that matter: the non-discovery of Amelia Earhart’s plane and Andy Burnham coming down hard, but not hard enough on people playing music on public transport. All packed into five minutes as usual, with limited same phrases.
20/10/26 Potty Trained Interloper - Rich and Ally attempt to talk about a serious news story, but their studio is invaded by a malicious force which they have to deal with. At least they nearly kept to their time this time.
22/10/26 Dirty Pigeons - Rich and Ally are here to talk about Kyle Maclachlan and very expensive Pokemon cards. Lots of singing in this one, so if you don’t like that then best avoid this. I’d say best avoid the whole thing in general, but I can’t tell you what to do.
23/10/26 Sticky Globes - Rich and Ally would like to apologise to the pigeon community for any offence caused by yesterday’s Newsround. Today we look at smashed historical artefacts and who will be the next BondJamesBond. Will it be Ally? Watch this space.

RHLSTP Book Club #198 - Felled - Richard chats to author Andrew Hankinson about his new book about the destruction of the Sycamore Gap, Felled. They also discuss his previous books about Raoul Moat and New York’s Comedy Cellar, plus whether modern UK comedy is failing to push boundaries in the same was as US comics. Then they chat about the new book and how it’s as much about Andrew as the tree or the crime. What does it all say about the crisis of masculinity? Are we all trying to impress our repressed dads and how do we cope when we lose them? Why did people get so upset about the loss of a tree when there might not be the same level of anger over an actual murder? What drove the men who did this and can we ever be sure? And is there a new trend of authors questioning themselves and their own lives in their work?

RHLSTP #632 - Bin Face vs Bin Juice - Rich is feeling a bit better. Is it because of God? If so God has also sent him a loquacious guest at this difficult 8th gig of the Fringe - it’s stand-up veteran and agitator Mark Thomas. Mark reminisces about the crazy acts that populated the circuit when he started 40 years ago, how he got the Kurdish National Medal of Honour, how he is the world’s most arrested comedian (impressive given the competition), what it’s like to have the red dot of a sniper rifle appear on your forehead, how activism got him a free trip to the cinema, his surprising love of Kung Fu films and much more.

#454 Thigh-Eyed - Richard’s non-Edinburgh Edinburgh Fringe continues as he reveals the latest put downs from his much-funnier-than-him children. His guest is podcast king and fine stand up Adam Rowe. They discuss how doing an advert led to threats of violence, putting your stand up specials on Youtube for free, turning romantic heartbreak into comedy, how the Have A Word podcast has taken the UK by storm, whether sharks are better than dolphins, how you can still say whatever you like in comedy and whether therapy is good for comedians.

13/10/26 Andy Burnham Is a Liar - Rich and Ally are back to discuss the result of the Pottery Throwdown and the proof that Andy Burnham’s pants on on fire, with proof straight from the crocodile’s mouth. Also how did Ziggy lose her arms? We might find out today. Don’t miss it. Makes GB News look woke as fudge.
14/10/26 Are You Taking The P*ss - Rich and Ally are back for a post-prandial Newsround which you probably don’t want to watch while you’re eating, especially if you’re eating a Solero, about a dastardly criminal and his propensity for destruction. No kink shaming intended. Though you should be ashamed of your kinks. Or at the very least not proud of them.
16/10/26 Time Tinkerer - Rich and Ally get into some quite personal territory that you might wish to skip through, before being the only media outlet being brave enough to turn against the dictatorial star at the centre of our solar system. Should it wear clothing of any kind? Probably not.

RHLSTP Book Club #197 - 31 Inventions That Built Our World - In a book club first an author (that I am not married to) has come to Hitchin for a face to face chat. Jonn Elledge is here to discuss his latest book 31 Inventions That Built Our World as well as how close he came to being in a Harry Potter film. They chat about his previous books about borders and conspiracy theories (and a possibly true one about Britney Spears) and then discuss the infrastructure of our modern world that we take for granted and how it got here. This includes how the car helped create the concept of teenagers and changed the world of dating, why electric cars failed to gain traction the first time they were introduced and why people thought they were only for women, how lighting destroyed the concept of first and second sleeps, how William Huskisson might not be the first person to be killed by a train and how he was the third most famous aspect of his own death anyway and how this book changes the way you look at the world,

RHLSTP #631 - Champagne Supernova - Richard is four shows into his Fringe run and has crossed the one line that Ricky Gervais fans will not tolerate and he’s a bit under the weather and immune compromised so this may be his last show. Luckily his guest is a healing force of nature - Felicity Ward. They talk about Covid, death, divorce and cancer and how these things are all comedy gold, plus Dancing with the Stars, being the Australian David Brent (and a second red line for Gervais fans), getting cast in another one series but brilliant show, Time Bandits and meeting Lisa Kudrow and whether Richard could do with a therapist and whether it’s worth having kids in case you lose an organ. Another really lively and fun show. Don’t skip it!

#453 Unchained Melody - Richard has got very angry with a cold caller - was he in there right? His guest is brilliant stand up and creator of new TV comedy “The Change”, Bridget Christie. In an explosive opening they discuss why Richard isn’t presenting the Masked Singer (amongst much else) and why he is evil for eating chocolate buttons, but then things calm down a bit as they discuss Bridget’s major TV debut, whether men do an equal share of household duties and the app that might help, why there are so few comedy shows about middle aged women, how getting older can be liberating and how amazing it is to have a channel and production team that let you get on with your vision. Plus working with Jerome Flynn and what it was like for Richard to introduce him on Top of the Pops. Also the primeval dance with Greg Davies and the extraordinary power of Taskmaster and getting to appear on Ghosts.

5th October 2026 - Randrew Andrew’s No Can Do - It’s a new week on Newsround, but same old rubbish. Today Rich, Ally and channel-mandated co-host Ziggy look at Andrew Mountbattenburg-Iceburg-Lettuce-Withagladsomemind- Windsor-Peppapigland attempt to prosecute the police who dared arrest him when he’s (apparently) done nothing wrong. With the interview that the lamestreamers would kill for Randrew Andrew himself.
7th October 2026 - Penile System - It’s a serious topic for today’s Newsround - is it OK to kill a murderer or does that just make you a murderer too? Who better to work this out than a washed-up comedian, a 134 year old ventriloquist dummy and a naked baby with a disembodied arm? No one that is who.
8th October 2026 - Flea Glob - Rich and Ally (and Ziggy?) look at the upcoming new pandemic and the return of the plague and try to accentuate the positive. A brave reporter is over at the Russian plague lab now and will let the world know how close to extinction we are.

RHLSTP Book Club #196 - Things I Took From The Dark - Richard returns to the Podcast Room (he’s actually been sitting in here for four straight hours) to talk to top RHLSTP guest Reece Shearsmith about his new memoir crossed with an adult Usborne book of Ghosts , Things I Took From the Dark. They chat about Reece’s spooky childhood, failing to catch bats in a net and having his magic tricks spoiled by his Uncle Geoff, how schools in the 70s had a definite echo of the Victorian about them, an horrific car crash (thankfully with no fatalities) and the part played by a tiny plastic skull, the 2016 appearance of clowns across Europe, the furious running knot man, why the devil does what he does and why there won’t be a filmed version of the Inside Number 9 stage show.

RHLSTP #630 - Spot The Ball - Richard is appalled by an email recommendation and what it says about him, but doesn’t have time to think about it too much as his guest is the brilliant stand-up Susie McCabe. They chat about all the terrible things that have happened to her since her last appearance, which make Richard’s puny cancers seem pathetic, finding the funny in your own father’s funeral, why Susie ended up with Thatcher as her Mastermind specialist subject, generational differences and why our parents were more worried about appearances than our grandparents, bouncing back from a heart attack and making the BBC front page on your death. This one is a really great listen. Don’t skip it!

#451 Ragmags - Richard has had some disturbing text messages from one of his kids, but he’s not going to help them. His guests are super nerd magic geniuses, Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman. They discuss why Jeremy chose not to appear on stage with the League of Gentlemen, why Andy is non-plussed to be in Star Wars, how the pair met at a summer camp, the Vagina Monologues production at the Arts Theatre led to TWO new theatre shows that have been performed all over the world, why Andy and Jeremy wanted to retain control of the film version of A Ghost Story, the secretive world of the Magic Circle and how they managed to collaborate on writing the fantastically entertaining novel, “The Warlock Effect”. Plus what would it take for them to fellate Keith Allen.

29th September 2026 - No Speculation - Rich and Ally cover a story that you won’t have read about it in LSM, some suspicious activity around RAF Fairford. Even if you’ve got wind of it then I don’t think any of your news sources will have come at it from this angle. There will be no speculation in this one. Just cold hard facts based on stuff that we’ve heard from strangers on social media. Plus an on the spot report from… ooops nearly told you.
1st October 2026 - County Fair Merkin - Rich and Ally are back with a new co-host to talk about why being bald is masculine and why we have pubic hair. You won’t get this in the lamestream media. Except in the Guardian.
2nd October 2026 - Richard E Grant the Traitor - Last Newsround of the Week and there have been some changes in the line-up. Let us know who you’d like to present ideally. The team talk about something you won’t see in the LSM, the new series of Traitors and the stupidity of one of Rich’s sworn enemies. Will Richard (Herring) ever get his revenge. It’s doubtful. Certainly not right now. Would you rather be on Traitors of Craven Newsround?

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.

RHLSTP Book Club 195 - King Zero - Rich is at the Podcast Room talking to the multi-talented Charlie Higson about his new James Bond novel, King Zero. They talk about how this is Richard’s first Bond book and how his expectations were confounded, how Higson is so knowledgeable about the deserts of Saudi Arabie, whether Bond is now woke and the difficulties of placing him in a different era, whilst still acknowledging his past, why Charlie wanted to resurrect the Sado-masochism of the original novels and was able to indulge some horrible thoughts in the mouths of his more despicable characters. Is he worried that he’s come up with a plot that will destroy the world? Plus a brief side bar about his work on the Fighting Fantasy franchise.

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.
