Book Club #126 - The Centrist Dad Handbook - Rich chats to Nico Tatarowicz about the book he cowrote with Jason Hazeley, The Centrist Dad's Handbook. What is a Centrist Dad? Is it essentially just Rich? Why is this a stereotype that seems both fair and ripe for the picking? Is it really so bad to be someone who compromises and what does it have to say about the state of masculinity in general? Would it be possible to do an entire book of headlines parodying Adrian Chiles' columns? Also some interesting chat about the state of comedy writing for TV and why the decline of sketch shows might have serious implications for the future of the craft.Buy the book here - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-centrist-dad-handbook-jason-hazeley/7725471?ean=9781526681997Come to a RHLSTP live! - https://richardherring.com/rhlstp Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

Some of you wanted less not more Wordle chat. You pleaded even to the production team. But the team were scared. For there were Wordle emails that had come in. What if Emperor Robins found out they'd been squirreling such content away from him. It would displease him so. Thus he was presented with it all. And like a labrador at the bowl, he could feast. Feast until unwell.So what of the pleas? With his 3.6 average word score laurel perched on his head, he peered down from his chaise longe. As the fickle thumb of fate turned down, and he yelled ‘No!'. And rather than getting less Wordle, it's more. It's double Wordle. Another 20 minutes 30 seconds of it all across two doses.This'll teach the complainers. The rioters. Eat your wordy gruel and be happy with it. Might assess ‘gruel' as a potential for new starter words actually. Dave write that down. Elis was not consulted on today's content.Anyway, aside from that there's also non-etymological issues at play including Adrian Chiles' pants and the rather frightening thought of ‘what if John was the second coming of Christ'.Remember to subscribe on BBC Sounds for bonus Sounds Bites / Bureau de Change of the Mind every Saturday morning.

Send us a textIt's time for the first road.cc Podcast episode of 2025, and we decided to kick off the new year by mixing things up and delving into unexplored territory for the podcast – by analysing the ongoing struggles facing the cycling industry and assessing where the BBC went wrong in their latest controversial active travel take. Oh wait… Well, start as you mean to go on, I suppose.And to just underline how little ground we're planning on breaking this year, in part one Ryan and Jack are joined once again by Rory Hitchens, a long-time bike industry stalwart, for what's fast becoming an annual segment on the podcast: assessing the state of the cycling industry as we enter the new year.For most of last year, the bike industry's motto seemed to be ‘Survive until 2025' – and it's clear that there is plenty of surviving still going on.However, despite continuing negative headlines, Hitchens is optimistic that the storms which have battered the cycling industry since the Covid pandemic are starting, finally, to abate, as the industry reshapes itself into something “leaner, meaner, and more creative”.And speaking of creative thinking, in part two e-biketips editor Alex Bowden joins us to pick apart THAT recent BBC Panorama documentary on e-bikes – widely criticised for appearing to conflate legal e-bikes with illegally modified machines, and the dangerous riding and criminality associated with them – and ask: Where did Adrian Chiles go wrong?

What does it truly means to be content in your own skin? It's tempting to put so-called "successful" people on a pedestal, but the reality is often much more complicated. Many high achievers are driven by inner turmoil. Adrian Chiles, broadcaster and former host of The One Show, shares insights from his conversations with high performers on BBC Radio 5 Live, many of whom have also appeared on this podcast - from Jonny Wilkinson to Ronnie O'Sullivan. We explore why chasing traditional success often falls short of delivering happiness and why the state of flow - the state of full immersion in the present - is a key to genuine satisfaction, as well as high performance. My book Champion Thinking: How To Find Success Without Losing Yourself draws on some of my favourite interviews over the last six years. In it, I seek to challenge our ideas about 'success', and where peace, joy and fulfilment are truly to be found. 'This book captures the magic of being in flow . . . Highly recommend' RONNIE O'SULLIVAN 'Entertaining and enlightening' MATTHEW SYED 'This book will challenge your thinking on what success truly is and will give you tools to "succeed" in life in the truest sense of the world.

The comedian and actor John Bishop is about to head off on a tour celebrating 25 years in stand up - a quarter century since he took to the stage on a whim and ended up one of the UK's favourite stars. The explorer Lucy Shepherd is more likely to be found fighting off venomous spiders than hecklers. For her latest TV series she's embarked on a never before completed journey across Guyana. How did she cope with the threat of trench foot, zero daylight and the ominous warnings from the locals - "don't go, you might not get back"? The Comic and podcaster Grace Campbell is also one for exploration but hers involve the world of dating and parties in her tour - On Heat. She'll be competing on tall tales and ominous warnings, no doubt. And broadcaster and columnist Adrian Chiles will cast a cool eye on proceedings as he does in his much-shared newspaper articles on chewy topics such as home urinals, favourite spoons and the biggie - we can go to the moon, so why can't we stop my glasses sliding down my nose? With music by "the songwriter's songwriter" Ron Sexsmith and "Hendrix of the kora" Seckou Keita. Presented by Stuart Maconie Produced by Olive Clancy

Broadcaster Adrian Chiles wrote in the Guardian about his experience in Galway, where he experienced first-hand what makes the Irish welcome world-famous. Adrian spoke to Shane this morning.

"I just admire people who are happy in their own skin" It can be so easy to put so-called successful people on a pedestal, but the truth is many of them are driven by a sense of disquiet and fear. That's not to cast judgement – it's just a fact, as Adrian Chiles told me. The former Daybreak and One Show presenter hosts a radio show on 5Live where he interviews high performers, and that is certainly a phenomenon he has noticed too. So don't buy into the hype that successful people are special, cos they're not. And being successful is not the recipe for happiness. Flow on the other hand, when we lose our sense of self as we get absorbed in an activity that is enjoyable for its own sake, is inherently satisfying, which speaks volumes when you really explore why – as I have done elsewhere and in my book. My book Champion Thinking: How To Find Success Without Losing Yourself draws on some of my favourite interviews over the last six years. In it, I seek to challenge our ideas about 'success', and where peace, joy and fulfilment are truly to be found. 'This book captures the magic of being in flow . . .

Seeing as we're right in the thick of one of the toughest months of the year, we thought that anyone taking up Dry January might like some inspiration to keep them on track for the rest of the month! So on today's episode, we revisited some of our best conversations about changing your relationship to alcohol.First up, we talked to the lovely Lisa Riley - television presenter, actor and Emmerdale's beloved Mandy Dingle - about the hardcore partying that went on behind the scenes of the Strictly Tour and how this, alongside navigating her own grief, led her to give up alcohol altogether seven years ago. We also hear from ultimate funny man Brian Conley - a comic with 40 years of experience behind him who's spent half of those sober! Plus, the brilliant journalist and broadcaster Adrian Chiles discusses his book 'The Good Drinker', and the lessons he's learnt through understanding the importance of moderation and drinking less - rather than going entirely sober.You can listen back to these great episodes in full here: Lisa Riley, Brian Conley and Adrian Chiles.

The ‘Hometown Triumvirate' is a rare occurrence in the world of radio. A collector's item, some might say.

The higher-ups at the BBC might be able to restrict Elis and John to an hour's worth of radio in order to make room for the Cheltenham Festival, but do you know what they won't ever restrict? An appetite for quality chat that is SO ravenous they're able to make a 60 minute show feel like an 85 minute show because of just how much they've jammed into it!

In this thought-provoking interview series from the RSA, Matthew Taylor, puts a range of leading thinkers on the spot - from writers to business leaders, politicians to journalists - by asking for big ideas to help build effective bridges to our new future. Adrian Chiles once put away 100 units of alcohol a week. The recommended amount is 14. But Adrian never considered himself an alcoholic, just someone who enjoyed drinking a bit too much. But after a warning from his doctor, and now well in to his 50s, Adrian decided it was time to address his relationship with the booze. But he didn't want to stop drinking entirely. Instead, he decided to embark on a journey to become a 'good' drinker, one who can enjoy alcohol in moderation. The writer and broadcaster joins Matthew to reveal how it changed who he is and the way he lives his life. Adrian Chiles is a writer, journalist and broadcaster. His new book is The Good Drinker. A Tempo & Talker production for the RSA. In this time of global change, strong communities and initiatives that bring people together are more invaluable than ever before. The RSA Fellowship is a global network of problem solvers.

In this month's first Britainology, we interview the UK's only good columnist about his new book 'The Good Drinker: How I Learned to Love Drinking Less.' The book is available here from Profile Books. However, rest assured that we talk about the book for about half of this interview, and the other half is a masterclass on process where we learn how Adrian comes up with columns such as 'I recently saw something in a petrol station toilet southbound on the M1 that I can never unsee.'

RHLSTP Book Club 33 - The Good Drinker - Richard talks to TV and radio presenter Adrian Chiles about his book about moderating alcohol intake The Good Drinker.

A survey has found that 46% of workers have faced jibes about their accents, with 25% reporting jokes at work. Academics from the social mobility charity, The Sutton Trust, carried out detailed interviews with students and professionals. Some described being mocked for their accents. They said those with northern English or Midlands accents were more likely to worry about the way they spoke. Today's Amol Rajan speaks to Labour MP Jess Phillips and the broadcaster Adrian Chiles.

Adrian Chiles has graced our television screens for over two decades. On this episode of Full Disclosure he discusses the pressures of being in the public eye, his Brummie background and his difficulties with alcohol. His latest book, The Good Drinker is out now.

This afternoon Elis and John returned to the airwaves of BBC 5 Live and proved once more that there is no form of broadcasting that they can't turn their hand to. Agonisingly conscious of the sage ‘tone' advice from Adrian Chiles ringing in their ears they repaid 5 Live's trust with some top level radio (and even threw in the odd anecdote for good measure). Elis shares that his house is falling apart, John tells the guys about his current eating routine, our Unsung Hero critiques Producer Dave's jingle writing skills and a listener ruins a rug.

#386 Thirty-Eighty Choice - As the latest run at the Leicester Square Theatre comes to an end Richard is impressed with Adrian Chiles' bathroom choices. His guest is comedian and actor Alan Davies. They chat about avocado bidets, being called a S****bubble by Liam Gallagher, setting off Neil Kinnock's burglar alarm, spending a huge amount of money on a chair you might see in an estate agents, how he managed to get the Jonathan Creek gig in spite of intense competition and why he nearly left QI. They also discuss Alan's heart-breaking but brilliantly written memoir about the loss of his mother and the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father as a child.Buy Alan's book here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Just-Ignore-Him-Alan-Davies/dp/1408713314/SUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE See details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATES See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
