Summary
RHLSTP Book Club #168 - Do You Believe in Ghosts? - Rich is back at the podcast to talk to fellow TWTTIN alumnus, Danny Robins about his fun and spooky kids’ book “Do You Believe in Ghosts?” They chat about the amazing media empire that he’s built up around his interest in spectres, how his play was partly responsible for Lily Allen’s new album, whether getting kids interested in the supernatural risks sending them down conspiracy theory rabbit holes, risking his own kids’ safety to put his theories to the test, the importance of an open mind with a healthy dose of scepticism, playing the Albert Hall and the power of darkness.

| 0:14.6 | We're up against Stephen Fry, so most of Leicester is watching him. If you can make it to see that show on Sunday afternoon, that would be |
| 0:21.2 | lovely. On the 18th of February, we're in Chelmsford with Vittorio Anglone and Stevie Martin from |
| 0:27.3 | Offa Taskmaster. Still some tickets left. We are the 23rd of February in the Leicester Square Theatre. |

| 1:40.4 | seen loads of them. It's with our old friend, Danny Robbins. |

| 1:52.4 | And even since then, I mean, things are looking pretty good on the ghost fronts. |
