The original ‘comedian talking to a guest’ pod and by far the best. For over a decade Richard Herring has been setting the bar for podcast guests and the inimitable Emergency Questions he asks them. National treasures Bob Mortimer and Sir Michael Palin, comedy royalty James Acaster, and Katherine Ryan, showbiz A-list Harry Shearer and Brett Goldstein, music sensations Suggs, Louise Wener, academics Alice Roberts and Mary Beard... They’ve all graced the RHLSTP guest’s chair. What more could you want?

Richard Herring’s rahistalapah as the cool kids are saying is everything it’s cracked up to be and more. Here’s to many more healthy seasons.

I think I stumbled across this podcast because James Acaster was on it. I have no real knowledge of Richard Herring’s career but RHLSTP is often laugh out loud funny.

Richard consistently gets great guests and is always great value . Thanks for the hours of laughs, Richard. Become a monthly badger !!

Well ... it’s probably a toss-up between this and Adam Buxton, if I’m honest.

Brian Blessed was beyond expectations!! Hilarious!

Richard's interviews are strangely calm and strangely strange--and hilarious. He is not shouting out how funny and subversive he is, he just is. I hope it catches on.

Some of the funniest and most entertaining interviews you will ever hear. Do yourself a favour and listen to all of them.

Love Richard Herring’s podcasts. Rude, crude and silly-and so much fun.

Richard is incredibly charming and funny in these. Another host couldn’t really pull off the podcast as successfully as him. Each interview is different from the one before and you never know the level of hilarity or seriousness that you will get.

Great rapport with his guests. Emergency questions are ridiculous fun. Enjoying it.

One of the best comedy podcasts out there. Love it.

We are just back to US from a tourist trip to London and Ireland and it is great to have a piece of the Motherland without the plane flight. Loved the politeness and decorum of the people and am starting to grasp the wit. I was reminded to keep it simple; Church, country, family, orderliness, love, compassion, work. Bravo. Great series. Listening from rural New York.

As I walked up the road to the tube station I passed a shop selling iPod apps. I don't like iPods and I know nothing about them at all and I don't like apps either, but the shop was empty apart from 2 members of staff and in my drunkenness I wondered what would happen if I went in there and tried to bluff my way through.

the king of all things makes interview magic with a lot of really good people. it's revolting how good this podcast is and will be.
