It's 2026. Hello, my fine friends. Welcome to my podcast feed. I hope you're having a great new year so far.

It's great. You admit it. You thought I wouldn't live this long. Here I am. 26 still to go. I'm not making any

predictions for my health at the end of this year, but I've got this far and that's delightful. Look, there's a few things going on. There's some live Rahaluskimos coming up, as you probably know. I'm in Leicester on the 8th of February with Fatsy El-Gori is one of my guests. She is fantastic. Don't miss that. We're up against Stephen Fry, but he's sold out out so hopefully you'll be forced to come and see us now

gigs in the 23rd of february in less square theatre 16th of marked at the square

theatre with david mitchell 20th of april hitler's birthday we be celebrating. Lester Square Theater. Do come along

if you can. Richard Herring.com slash Rahalesterpur for all those things. And do remember,

write bollocks. Autobiography, 5,000 words long, is available to pre-order at go fasterstripe.com.

All the money from that will go to make more podcasts as well.

Do become a badger. Gofastestripe.com slash badges if you want loads of benefits and

add free podcasts and get to know the guests earlier than everyone else and so on. You know the

drill by now. Anyway, thanks for your time. Thanks for your effort. Now listen to a podcast.

Hello, welcome to another retro Rahalasdapa. We're putting up old podcasts on full video for the first time. If we did film it, we can put them up. It's free. You don't have to be a badge to watch it. You just have to wait several months slash years to get to see it. This was a

really great one that I really enjoyed with Matt Bainton and Jim Howick from off of ghosts and

horrible histories and much, much more. Lots of fun with this one, really enjoyable. I recently

talked to Matthew again, of course, on his own, so do wait and look out for that one. These might even go out the same week the way things work. You never know, but I don't think they quite will. Anyway, if you enjoy these and want to pay us a little bit back, come and see a live show, richetheny.com slash rehlustap, you get all the bits that don't make it into the podcast because they're too rude or contentious.

And also you get to meet all the other nerds who enjoy this podcast.

And you can make friends, come down on your own, come down with friends.

Honestly, it's a lovely party and they're really enjoyable things to watch.

I'm going to be all over, Leicester Square Theatre quite regularly.

In London, there are gigs in Leicester and Chelmsford coming up imminently if they haven't been out already. Richardairn.com slash Rihalistepa. Become a monthly badger at gofastestripe.com slash badges if you want to help out with a bit of cash or just enjoy everything for free. Just tell your friends about us. That's all I can ask. If people keep listening, we keep making some money,

and we can keep making them.
