Richard Herring: Talking Cock
Episode 9 - The History of Mr Jolly. Richard reads another chapter from his book, this time all about the cultural history of the penis and the way attitudes have altered over time. From the crafty gods of ancient Sumeria to the 19th century scientists who could see tiny hunched up men in every sperm when they looked down their microscopes. Find out what happened to the Cerne Abbas Giant's navel and how many Etruscan penises Menephta received. And why we owe so many of our hang-ups to having his cake and eating it (and then telling us we couldn't have any cake) Saint Augustine. If only all history lessons had this many cocks in them!

Episode 8

Epenisode 8 - 0898 chat line - The Talking Cock tour is over halfway through now so only a few more rod-masts to cum. And this week Richard turns his Herring's Eye to choking the Chihuahua, flogging the log, draining the sluices, priming the glue-gun, learning to love yourself, decorating the bedroom ceiling, taking the horn by the bull (that one doesn't even make sense), or as it's commonly known Mass debating. There's time for the history of masturbatory opposition (including religious, scientific and breakfast cereal manufacturers), claimed side-effects and why straining your salami might be the ultimate celebration of personal freedom. There's a poem and a story about having sex with a dragon fruit (pictured) and Rich starts to wonder exactly which direction his career is going.
