Book Club #123 - You Don’t Have To Be Mad To Work Here - In the first of a new series of Book Club Richard talks to psychiatrist and former stand up Benji Waterhouse (if that is his real name) about his terrific memoir about working for the NHS and the importance of prioritising mental health. They discuss how to treat this subject with humour and sensitivity, as well as providing your patients with anonymity, the short-sightedness of underfunding and ignoring our mental health, the difficult decisions that NHS staff are forced to make, why Benji wanted to include his personal issues in the book, the shadow of Adam Kay and writing the screen play. Plus why Richard definitely doesn’t need a psychiatrist!

#543 House of Losers - Richard has had a worrying dream, but what can it all mean? His guest is an alien from outer space and not a man in an impressive but ridiculous costume, the artist formerly known as Lord Buckethead, Count Binface. They discuss his reasons for travelling light years to take on sitting Prime Ministers in UK elections, some of his excellent policies involving hand dryers and Ceefax, whether snooker is already in 3 dimensions, losing a bind, whether old people should lose the vote, improving the House of Lords and how the UK’s future span out of control due to the Olympic opening ceremony and a bacon sandwich. Will Count Binface become Mayor of Croydon? Watch this (outer) space.
