#555 Welsh Freddie Mercury - Richard has found out the true lyrics of a 1990s pop classic and is going to tell you them in detail. His guests are internet satirists Larry & Paul. They talk about which one is which, the long genesis of their online sketch content, the BBC's reluctance to promote podcasts in 2008 or understand why radio shows needed video; why a Labour government (especially this one) does not mean the end of political satire; impressing Jeremy Vine and potentially insulting Matt Lucas and David Walliams; how Self Esteem being on a delayed train almost led to an embarrassing situation with Carol Vorderman; whether TV is a worthwhile ambition for people making their own content; is it a good idea to have children; and Paul (or is it Larry) has come in with some of his own emergency questions, one of which is a little spicy.
