In GBA 151 we get even better acquainted with Richard Tyrone Jones returns to talk about how he is a crap time lord, bereavement, sexuality, poetry, comedy and more. The conversation attempts to be about nuanced and emotional things despite the slightly surreal backdrop of a noisy pub in Deptford. Also included is a poem Richard told at Stand Up Tragedy about dementia.
