Richard Herring’s Objective: The Complete Series 1 and 2: The BBC Radio 4 stand up show Audiobook (Free)

Award-winning comedian Richard Herring pokes and prods a number of controversial objects to find out if the controversy falls out. Via stand-up comedy, vox pops and interviews, he examines the items’ history, meaning, and significance and challenges our assumed reasoning and stereotypes.

Over the course of these shows Richard trains his beady eye on, among other activities: the toothbrush moustache, Dolly the sheep, the St. George’s Flag and Web page 3. Can we reclaim these items and prise them from their unfortunate organizations? Or should we consign them to the dustbin of history?
