Myself and the Missus recently went to see another recording of Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast (RHLSTP), with Peep Show actor Robert Webb and film-maker Louis Theroux guesting.
RHLSTP has been going since 2012 is now in its fourth or fifth series. We were relative late-comers to this podcast series, but it's consistently excellent stuff.
The basic premise is that Herring interviews the great and the good of the comedy world, plus a few others, and, among the funny stuff, there's often some quite revealing moments and cracking anecdotes. Herring's naughty schoolboy persona and sometimes potty mouth is funny and his not-like-Michael-Parkinson-at-all interview technique is a thing of wonder. Herring-Nixon would have been much better than Frost-Nixon.
It's also a self-funded enterprise with income from the theatre audience and the online campaign encouraging people to donate barely covering the costs of the whole shindig.
My advice: RHLSTP is a free download so download and enjoy. But also donate some cash so it can continue. I did, the Missus did and the Boy did, too. So, if you download an episode and enjoy it, and end up downloading the entire back catalogue, then you probably should pay some cash, too.
It's well worth the paltry money its makers ask for in donations. Fact.
