Summary
RHLSTP #19 - Mary Beard - Fattening Dormice. After last week's headline-grabbing show, Richard feels under pressure to coax revelations from his guest, classicist Mary Beard, but is a bit distracted by transport and atrocity based magazines. Instead he mainly talks about penises in Pompeii, realising that if only he could travel in time that he would be the most popular comedian in that knob-obsessed empire. But all the big historical questions are asked - why is Pan having sex with a goat? What did the people of Herculaneum use to wipe their bums? Where did Ancient Romans sleep? What were Julius Caesar's real last words? Is having sex with a statue the worst thing you can do? Mary also talks about Anus Arsehole Gill and how she fought back against the trolls, what words you can't say on Women's Hour and meeting the Queen with Bruce Forsyth. Back to normal then!

| 0:00.0 | Hello my finest friends, welcome to more Hullestopus or whatever it is you're listening to on this feed. |
| 0:04.8 | There's so many different choices powered by ACAST+, which you can join if you wish to get some extras. |
| 0:11.4 | The Hullestpertor is selling well in most places. If you're in Tumbridge Wells, take your time. |
| 0:18.5 | You're going to be able to get tickets. But some of the places are selling fast, so please head to |
| 0:23.5 | richshane.com slash for Hullestpert and see if I'm coming near to you and if I am, buy some tickets. |
| 0:28.4 | Even if it's not selling very well, that's probably a better time to buy the tickets for me. |
| 0:33.1 | We are announcing guests as we get them. There are a few at their richshane.com slash for Hullestopus. |
| 0:38.5 | We're also doing a few Rahulestpert gigs this coming weekend. That's Saturday the 22nd and |
| 0:45.5 | Sunday the 23rd of July at the Bill Murray pub. We're doing four separate Rahulestpers, which we'll |
| 0:51.6 | get during the Edinburgh fringe. It's me going to the Edinburgh fringe without going to the Edinburgh |
| 0:55.5 | fringe. So if you're in North London in the afternoon, come along and see those. There are only |
| 0:59.6 | £10 a shot. Anyway, let's sit back relax and enjoy Rahulestpert. |
| 1:07.3 | Imagine you, you in a nice comfy seat with your hands behind your head taking in the views |

| 1:30.3 | and we'll take you there. Avanti West Coast. Feel good travel. |
| 1:40.0 | This podcast is sponsored by Comedy Unaudible. Look, you know of a huge fan of |
| 1:45.2 | audible when I'm doing my book club. That's where I get all of my books. I buy the easier to |
| 1:49.7 | listen to them than to read them. But did you know that there's also literally tons of the very |
| 1:56.3 | best original comedy titles on audible. Audible has an amazing range of new releases and returning |
| 2:03.5 | series launching this year. You've got your trusty old favourites like French and Saunders, |
| 2:08.9 | Titting About, Corrupt at Them. You've got to love them and my own personal favourite from the |
