Listen for free

In the 1970s, Rick Wakeman and Griff Rhys Jones changed everything. Rick made keyboards as sexy as guitars whilst Griff made comedy alternative.


Now, these 70s pioneers are actually in their 70s. They’ve experienced a lifetime of changes – so many changes in fact that they’ve now worked out that the 1970s wasn’t ‘the decade that taste forgot’. Instead it was the beginning of innovation, freedom of expression and extraordinary trousers.


In their new weekly podcast, Rick and Griff bring us history as you’ve never heard it before. From religion…(would Noah have built the ark had the concept of the Yellow Weather Warning been invented?) to fashion…(what was the fantastic sartorial journey that took us from grey flannel slacks to split-kneed loon pants??)


They’ll also answer your burning questions, e-mail Question@RickandGriff.co.uk


Celebrate the last 50 years of history with Rick & Griff, available on all podcast platforms.

    Ep12: Pantomimes
    May 14 2026

    This is an episode all about those beloved shows that Rick is especially fond of, The Pantomime.


    Oh no it isn’t. Well, actually it is, even though Griff hasn’t been in anywhere near as many panto’s as Rick has.


    From disastrous on-stage interactions with kids through to Griff’s starring Grinch role, the lads take you backstage into a world of exhaustion and dodgy costumes.

    Ep11: Holidays
    May 7 2026

    If you ever felt tempted to use the phrase ‘Kids today don’t know they’re born!’, this episode is for you.


    With memories of epic trips from London to Exmouth and even Gorran Haven, simply to consume inedible Treacle Pudding and swim in freezing water, Rick and Griff remember the simple joys of the summer holiday. Expect AA Maps, boarding houses and Morris 8’s.

    Ep10: Music – Part 2
    Apr 30 2026

    If music be the food of love, Rick and Griff should be positively ecstatic, being as it’s been SUCH a huge part of their lives, Rick as a player, Griff as a fan.


    In part 2 of their chat on music…(and there’ll probably be a part 3 later on too…), they talk Stereo, playing live, parents influence and even the Daily Mirror mystery man!
