RHLSTP with Richard Herring

Monday 16th March 2026 Dead as a Dodo - Rich and Ally are back for another week in the newsround studio, despite really having too much to do. They are discussing plans to resurrect the dodo. I don’t have time to write the blurb as I have to take my daughter to the train station.

Tuesday 17th March 2026 - Banksy Uncovered - Rich and Ally are here with all the big news stories and today reveal the true identity of controversial artist Banksy (can you guess what Cocky Carrot calls him?). Journalism at its finest.

Wednesday 18th March 2026 Receding Bums - Rich and Ally are back to talk about how many times a day you should be brushing your teeth and what might happen to you if you fail to hit that number. It’s more of an intervention than a news programme. Still ignored by the lamestream media.

Thursday 19th March 2026 - Bigfeet - Rich and Ally are back to give you all the news the lame stream media doesn’t want you to see. Today they’re looking at whether the very convincing 1967 footage of a Big Foot walking through a forest is a real Big Foot or just a man dressed up as a Big Foot. With special report from a forest somewhere.

RHLSTP Book Club #174 - Finding Albion - Richard is back at the Podcast Room talking to DJ and probably the coolest person who has ever been on Book Club (not much contest) Zakia Sewell. They chat about her quest to discover the roots of Britishness in our folk traditions, whether Morris Men are good or evil and why some of them refuse to give up the dodgier aspects of the craft, Cheddar Man and how little his family travelled in 10,000 years, what the idea of indigenous Britain might even mean, confronting the less admirable aspects of British history and present, dressing up as a wolf in Cornwall,why the rest of the world should be grateful to England and what are Zakia’s hopes for the future?

RHLSTYP #603 - Paddy McGuinness’ Richard Osman Dart Board - Rich is back in Chelmsford revealing what Charles Dickens has to say about the place and Greater Anglia’s possibly foolish plan to keep down the pigeon population at Chelmsford Station. His guest hates the English and so Rich has deliberately brought him to the most English place on earth to see what fireworks ensue - it’s the brilliant Vittorio Angelone. They chat about whether it’s a dick move to win every day of House of Games, how Vittorio might have been a professional percussionist, the huge success of his podcast Mike and Vittorio’s Guide To Parenting, how the title of his new show “you can’t Say Nothing any more” is so good, it doesn’t actually matter if the content is funny (it is), playing the Hammersmith Apollo and a new take on why Love Actually is a terrible film and why you should let Richard Curtis know on social media.

Rich is old and flagging and his brain isn’t working too well, so there’s lots of waiting around for him to remember things. It’s going to get worse as time goes on. Please bear in mind his age before criticising. He is 58.

#431 Sleeping Bag Vulva - Richard’s Valentine’s promises have turned to chocolatey crumbs, but never mind, his guest is a woman who built a bathroom from the laughter generated by animals- it’s Zoe Lyons. Zoe takes us through the downs and ups of her last few years including a full on midlife crisis, the loss of her hair, how lockdown led her to delivering vegetables when she was meant to be on TV, writing material to impress her therapist and how badly she coped when she split from her wife and the possibly foolhardy decision to run 100km (in one go). But it’s a very positive story, which you can see told in full in her brilliant new stand up tour Bald Ambition. Plus one of the best ghost stories yet and how getting older and giving less of a toss is a positive thing (though also explains Brexit)

Monday 9th March 2026 - Ayatollah Khamanei Closer - Newsround is back with nipples on and we’re looking at the very serious topic of Presidential assassination and whether it’s the right way to go for a democratically elected President. It taking on the leadership of Iran a good idea at this juncture and will such a young leader be able to cope with the pressure?

Tuesday March 10th - Braintree FC Water Tank Tribute - It’s a late night newsround, cos Rich has been too busy all day to do it, but he didn’t want you to miss the big news about Keith Flint’s Satanic Churchyard Bench. Also some theological discussions about Satan and a nice song about starting fires.

Wednesday 11th March - Crossing the Rubicon - Rich and Ally are back for the shoddiest Newsround yet, as they look at the worst person in the world, a man who cloned his beloved pet. Was it a waste of money when animals reproduce for free? Should you put all your eggs in one basket? What about a ventriloquist dummy/human hybrid? It’s all utter nonsense today. They can’t all be gold.

Friday 13th March 2026 Faeces and Thyme (Time) - Rich and Ally are back after a brief break to bring you all the Roman poop news that you could want. Plus to take the piss out of some foreign academics for their dubious career choices. It’s what the public want. Also a new reporter joins the team. It’s the yeast we can do for you.
