<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#556 Not As Good As It Used To Be &lt;/strong&gt;- Richard returns to Leicester and reveals the curt message of one of the comedians he asked on the podcast. His guests are two of the men behind the publishing sensation and hugely influential comedy juggernaut that is Viz magazine. They discuss the humble beginnings of this adult comic, how publishers tried and failed to sanitise it, working with Peter Cook on Tiger Mellie, the terrible imitators, who was the first person to say it wasn’t as good as it used to be (and when), plus Richard’s posh introduction to the work and his pride at being in the Profanisaurus.

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RHLSTP Book Club 134&amp;nbsp;- The Invisible Doctrine&lt;/strong&gt; - Recorded in front of an audience at the prestigious&amp;nbsp;Royal Geographical Society, Richard talks to journalist George&amp;nbsp;Monbiot&amp;nbsp;about his very readable investigation into Neo-Liberalism (co-authored with Peter Hutchinson) The&amp;nbsp;Invisible Doctrine. George does most of the talking, which is probably for the best and reveals what he considers to the be the starting point of capitalism, why capitalism and commerce are not the same thing, the roots of Neo Liberalism in the closing stages of World War II, why it took 30 years to come to prominence, conspiracy theories versus conspiracy fictions, why the left has missed opportunities to defeat&amp;nbsp;Neo-liberalism, what happened when Liz Truss tried to institute its policies all in one go, why Starmer is wrong to try and legitimise Reform and whether there is hope for the future and what we can do to stand up to a political system that threatens our planet.
