Summary

This very special episode is brought to you in paid partnership with Cancer Research UK. At the end of last year, myself, Matt Forde and Mark Steel sat down to have a frank, raw, funny and open conversation about something that has affected us all - cancer. We were later joined by Dr Sam Godfrey, the Science Engagement Lead at Cancer Research UK, who gave us invaluable insight into the incredible work Cancer Research UK are doing and why the future is looking bright. Disclaimer for this one - very strong language and discussions of cancer diagnosis and treatment are used throughout.

Cancer Research UK is a registered charity in England and Wales (1089464), Scotland (SC041666), the Isle of Man (1103) and Jersey (247). #ad

0:00.0	Hello, my fan friends. Welcome to another podcast. Look, we're doing live for Hullisterpers again. I'm in Leicester on the 15th of February at the Y Theatre at 2.30pm talking to John Robertson and the boys, the Donald Brothers, who created Viz. Richard Herring.com slash Rahalestapa for that and all the London dates. Third of March is the next one. 24th of March. We've got Paul
0:22.5	Whitehouse. That's very nearly sold out. And then there's one in April as well. And we're doing
0:26.4	the Edinburgh Fringe with Rahalasdapa as well. There'll be more details of that coming up very
0:30.5	soon. I'm also not eating saleros in the month of February. I've eaten a salero pretty much every day for the last 10 years.
0:38.2	I've decided to give them up to raise some money for scope. I'm four days in and it's living hell.
0:43.5	Please sponsor me at justgiving.com slash page slash no lairo, no, L-E-R-O. Give whatever you can.
0:51.9	23 pound 33 is the amount I spend on Saleros every month. That's
0:55.5	my suggested donation. All that money will go to scope. I'm trying to raise 500,000 pounds. I'm
1:00.9	currently nought percent of my way to the target. Anyway, sit back, relax and enjoy listening to
1:05.6	another stupid podcast. Hey ho, it's me, Richard Herring, and welcome to a special bonus podcast on my feed.
1:14.5	It's something a little bit different than usual, because this episode is brought to you in
1:19.1	partnership with Cancer Research UK. It's a really great episode. I hope you will listen to this. It's informative, it's funny,
1:29.6	and it's for a fantastic cause. I really enjoyed this one so much and I know you are going to.
1:34.3	It seems weird to say I enjoyed a long chat about cancer with two people who've also had cancer,
1:41.0	but it was funny and it was illuminating and moving. I found it very, very moving
1:46.3	in a lot of places as well. It's a little bit horrifying in places, but mainly just great to talk
1:52.9	to other people who've been through, to be fair, something much worse than me in both the cases.
1:59.2	Because what happened is cancer research UK brought together
2:03.1	me, Matt Ford and Mark Steele, three comedians with a few things in common. We're extremely
2:09.3	funny. That's the main one. Most notably, we've all had a shared experience of having had cancer.
2:17.4	To put it simply, we had a nice chat about the experience
2:19.8	from initial diagnosis to the different journeys we took, the funny stuff that happened,
