#498 Pig-Tail Sex Toy - Richard is back in Northampton where the people are named after Ancient Greeks. His guest is US stand upAbigoliah Schamaun (hard to say, hard to spell).

RETRO RHLSTP #79 - Away or Towards? - A weary Richard films the audience as evidence of dissent for the future fascist government of the UK, before introducing a man who comes with his own magical minor ticker tape parade, David Cross. Starstruck and clearly in disbelieving awe, Rich flounders around and mainly embarrasses himself, but luckily Mr Cross is able to come up with some amazing riffed comedy about frozen vegetables, Abraham and taking cocaine near President Obama, whilst getting a bit

#495 Speared by a Moose - Richard is still in Norwich and has more local news and celebrates the city’s most famous son. His guest is the phenomenon that isJoePasquale.

RETRO RHLSTP #76 - Improvisation My Dear (Mark) Watson - Richard is reeling from forgetting about his daughter and another attack on his home (how will he ever sell it?), but excited to be welcoming the eponymous star of Improvisation My Dear Mark Watson to the stage and hoping to talk about nothing but that title for a full hour.

Book Club #88- Glutton- In another live Book Club Richard discusses his lentil based culinary disaster before introducing regular guest and fierce podcast rivalEdGambleto discuss his annual Glutton.

RETRO RHLSTP #75 - Spaced By The Bell - At last it's the podcast that addresses the burning issue of modern Britain - which is the best Somerset based show cave complex? Cheddar Gorge (obviously) or rubbishy old Wookey Hole. It'd be a shame to have Britain's most exciting film director on the show without wasting most of the time talking about this and the obscure and sexist Roald Dahl short story - Switch Bitch. And Richard hates to disappoint. Luckily he occasionally manages to blunder into

Book Club #86- The Bone Chests - Rich talks to bio-archaeologist and broadcaster Cat Jarman about her terrific book, TheBoneChests about the remains of a surprisingly number of medieval kings (and a queen) whose remains are in Winchester Cathedral.

Why were the women of the period written out of history? What
