You remind me that I still have quite a few of the audio cassette collection
the BBC released on the Goon Shows many years ago. Don't know why I kept them
as I've not had a cassette player for years..
I see a couple are available on iPlayer -

One of my worst experiences is still clear in my memory. I'd had my
appendix out, in 1957, and had a post op infection, so wasn't feeling
perky. No visitors one evening, so I was listening to the Goon Show, on
earphones. It was the one where they were in a naval battle, on the
Serpentine, with Milligan calling out to "stand by to pick up
survivors". I don't recommend laughing under those circumstances.
Not a problem for you; there's nothing that funny to bring on painful
laughter.
