Richard regrets that he is unable to fulfill interview requests from on-line journalists and internet-only reviewers.  There just aren't enough hours in the day, sorry.
NOTE:  Promotional CDs are NOT available for websites/bloggers.  All Richard Cheese albums can be heard on iTunes.

Please note that Richard Cheese must be given complete advance editorial pre-approval of all interviews; this is the only way that we can be assured that Richard is not misquoted or taken out of context.  If your rag has corporate policies which prevent such accuracy, then you're a sellout and you should quit working for the man, man.

The latest Richard Cheese albums can be heard on iTunes.  Promotional copies of Richard Cheese CDs are no longer distributed to radio or press.  Just pony up the $9.99 iTunes download fee and you can hear the whole album, okay?  This is more economical for us, faster for you, better for the environment, and easier on Digby the truss-wearin' mailman.
