RHLSTP with Richard Herring

RHLSTP with Richard Herring is a staple of the British comedy landscape, offering a brilliantly chaotic and deeply human look at the entertainment industry. At its heart, the show is an intimate long-form interview series where Herring sits down with a diverse array of guests—ranging from household-name comedians and actors to authors and industry insiders. Whether he is dissecting the professional resilience of a stand-up, discussing the nuances of a new book, or exploring the unpredictable nature of fame, the conversations are consistently candid, witty, and profoundly insightful.
The podcast is defined by its versatility. In addition to these compelling interviews, the show frequently shifts gears into the surreal and satirical territory of the Craven Newsround. In these installments, Herring teams up with his long-time puppet collaborator, Ali Sloper, to dismantle current events, global politics, and media sensationalism with a blend of absurd humor and biting meta-commentary.
What makes RHLSTP so enduring is Herring’s unique ability to oscillate between high-minded intellectual debate and gloriously silly, improvisational banter. He fosters a space where his guests feel comfortable being vulnerable about their careers, the challenges of their craft, and the absurdities of modern life. Whether you are tuning in for a thoughtful discussion on the creative process or an anarchic, bathrobe-clad riff on the state of the world, RHLSTP remains an essential, ever-evolving showcase of British wit and authentic storytelling.
