His guest is impressionist, comedian and podcaster Matt Forde. They talk about Rich’s Mastermind failure (again?), working on Spitting Image and how weird it is that out of all the characters that show has done, it’s the puppet of Paddington that has got them into the most trouble, working with the divine genius Alice Levine, interviewing the Prime Minister and other dodgy political figures, why there’s a better option than going back in time to kill baby Hitler, plus a long chat about the negatives and surprising positives of having had spinal cancer, why it’s helpful to talk about this and why cancer isn’t as bad as the possibility of Nottingham Forest getting demoted. Another really special podcast. Don’t miss this one.
