This week Rich is joined by the insanely funny Rob Copland for a rapid-fire conversation about comedy, creativity, fatherhood, travel, spirituality and pretty much anything else his brain can throw at him. They get into Rob's theory that sexiness and anger are separated by a very thin line, the highs and lows of recently becoming a dad, and the sheer disbelief that comes with suddenly being responsible for another human being. They also discuss Rob's recent trip to India, where he went looking for spiritual enlightenment and discovered that finding yourself doesn't always go according to plan. Plus comedy, creativity, the Edinburgh Fringe and Rob's upcoming show. If you're enjoying TalkBox, follow the podcast and leave us a rating or review as it really helps the show.

This week on TalkBox, Rich Fulcher catches up with comedian, writer and book obsessive Ben Pope ahead of his limited Edinburgh Fringe run. They talk about the nepotism in showbiz, Ben's comedy upbringing and his love of British sketch comedy, from Armstrong and Miller to That Mitchell and Webb Look. Ben also explains how reviewing book-cover clichés became his first viral breakthrough and helped lead him into the book-related corner of the internet he's now thriving in. They also discuss the differences between a stand-up tour and a book tour, growing up surrounded by books, the realities of making comedy online, and Ben's upcoming Edinburgh shows. And somewhere along the way, Rich and Ben hatch the beginnings of a British wine business that absolutely should not exist. A funny, offbeat catch-up with one of the UK's most distinctive comedy and book creators. Follow so you never miss a new episode!
