Richard Herring
Book Shambles
Robin and Josie have both been guests on RHLSTP so we thought it high time that we had Richard Herring on Book Shambles. He joins us in the studio to chat about favourite early comedy books from the likes of Monty Python and Not the Nine O’Clock News and then they try to work out how the Amazon book charts work as Robin and Rich’s latest books battle it out on the ‘Jokes and Riddles’ charts.
