About this episode
RHLSTP Book Club #148 - For The Love of Bears - Richard is back in the Podcast Room and finally able to settle a 50 year old score with his guest, Chris Tarrant, who has written a beautiful book about bears. They talk about how Tiswas (or the lack of it) made Richard cry and how it introduced the world to Stewart Lee, why Chris wanted to write a book about bears, the horrendous violence that the creatures of capable of (usually when provoked), an amazing fact about panda’s courtship (which probably explains why it’s so ineffective), why when Edmonds goes south, Tarrant goes north, a joke about beating off a black bear that goes unnoticed by the guest, Chris’ own close encounter, plus the Mitcheldean bear and the folk of the Forest of Dean and what drives trophy hunters to try to kill these magnificent creatures.
