Paxman today and the first 20 minutes at least are very very awkward
in a good or a bad way?
used to like it but not listened in years, find herring more annoying now and feel like the ratio of good:bad guests has got worse
sorry for this negative post

Quite bad
Yeah I only listen if I like the guest these days

Same. I used to listen to Herring’s podcast output religiously, but I can’t imagine doing that now with how much he puts out (and with how much of it is designed as a weird anti-joke)
I think I’ve listened to maybe only three or four since the first lockdown. The Joan and Jerica crossover episode was very good though.
Finished Paxman. It was very tough work
I saw that one appear yesterday and honestly couldn’t decide if I wanted to listen to it or not! Same as others have said, I’m picking and choosing from his output these days.
I’ll probably give the Paxman one a try though out of curiosity…
Haven’t listened to any since lockdown (or for a few years before tbh) and really can’t see how this translates well to not being in front of an audience.
I used to rinse them but like was mentioned in the asam Buxton one I’m more interested in the guest now than just listening.
Also, frankly, herrings shit was getting way too old. Is he still asking about the ham hand or nipples that dispense suncream, or the have you seen a ghost shit?

Pasquale is a treat
Went to the live tour in Belfast last year. Guests were Lisa McGee (Derry Girls creator) for the first half, who was likeable but a bit of a dry interviewee for this sort of longform comedy podcast interview, wondered at times how he was possibly going to drag the interview out for the length of a podcast episode but he did manage it in the end. And then Shane Todd, a local standup, who was a much better guest for this format because he had lots of anecdotes and long tangents and is clearly more experienced with podcasts, but is also a bit of an annoying laddy comedian who I don’t really like. So neither was ideal. Have never got round to listening back to them as episodes.
Annoyingly the Dublin guests a few months later were much better (Tommy Tiernan and Neil Hannon)
I don’t listen to RHLSTP that much anymore, not because I’ve gone off it, but just because there are too many podcasts now and too many episodes of them all and RHLSTP has fallen down my list of podcast priorities, but I’ll bookmark the ones with a good guest and try to get round to them. Feel like the last few episodes I’ve listened to have all been Tim Key ones.
