Fresh from a huge theatre round of 'The Spy Who Came In From The Cold', Ralf joins Pip for a long overdue chat which seemingly goes off on a bunch of tangents, but on closer inspection you'll hear how connected each strand really is. Of course a huge section involves actin...

This week Pip is joined by national treasure ROMESH RANGANATHAN!
Weirdly it's been a long time coming, this one. It feels like Romesh has never been far away but in reality it's been a bunch of years since he was last on - and that appearance was a stone cold classic (which has come up more than a few times before). Well, consider the loop closed as R...
