Hello, and unsparingly welcome to Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club! Come and join in as President Tony takes us gently by the tubes and leads us on a gleeful ramble around two special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of his enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to chart a path of logic through the quicksands of bullshit.First stop is destination number 889: literature in mediaeval and modern Greek. Let’s see if our panel manage to say anything more complex or interesting than “moussaka”. Then we fail ever upwards to destination 947: the general history of Europe, Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. Well, that’s a broad church, although none of us have been to church in many years so that doesn’t help much either. Then, just to make life easy for a change, we trot on to destination 953: the general history of the Asia-Arabian Peninsula and adjacent areas. Literally no idea. By now it must surely be time to crawl back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, where the kettle has been reclaimed for the proletariat so we have to have water out of the sinkhole. If nothing else, it’s an opportunity to meet a newt.Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club is a free-associating conversation, sometimes involving very special gusts. It drops every Friday on every podcasting outlet known to man. We’d love it if you came along for the walk. If nothing else, it’ll help you get your steps in!

"Your Foul and Impenetrable Mind"
Hello, and unrelentingly welcome to Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club! Come and join in as President Tony takes us gently by the hooves and leads us on a gleeful ramble around two special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of his enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to steer a course of cohesion between the schoals of stupidity.First stop is destination number 527: celestial navigation. Can our idiots three find a path through this knotty subject?. They give it a stab, then we canter on to destination 148: liberalism, eclecticism, traditionalism. Hope the team remembered to bring their dictionaries today. After getting bogged down in theory they squelch damply to destination 810: American Literature in English. Finally, something our team know a little bit about! They blow off some-much needed steam and then scramble down the garden path to Tony’s shed, where the brand new coffee machine has been binned in favour of a good old-fashioned kettle and a teabag in a mug. If nothing else, it’ll put tannin on your chest.Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club is a free-associating conversation, sometimes involving very special gusts.

"Liza Minelli Did It With The Pet Shop Boys"
Hello, and unremittingly welcome to Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club! Come and join us first-footing our way through the opening of the New Year on a whistle-stop tour of two special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of his enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of the newly-elevated Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to derive a modicum of moderate sense from a mulligatawny of muddle.First stop is destination number 254: parish government and administration. If there’s one thing we all love in Britain, it’s a bit of local government, right guys? Right? And once we’ve exhausted the options for hilarity that come from regional administration, we hobble on to destination 865: literature, 1800- . What an intriguing elision that dash represents. Will we be discussing literature into the indefinite future? Well, we can stick with it until we get bored, and then we’ll gambol freshly down the garden path to Tony’s shed, where we’ll be starting the Hogmanay season with a wee dram of something strong. If nothing else, it’s something different from the usual hootenanny.Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club is a free-associating conversation, sometimes involving very special gusts.

"I Had A Canary And A Gas Mask"
Hello, and unfalteringly welcome to Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club! Come and join in as President Tony takes us gently by the tines and leads us on a whistle-stop tour of two special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of his enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Stephen Fry is on hand to delineate the deranged and explicate the extemporaneous. First stop is destination number 574: biology. That’s certainly a wide area, there’ll be no stopping the lads with this one. After many a biological byway, the bingo machine comes to rescue us and drag us on to destination 413: dictionaries. Somewhat less wide-ranging, this one. Let’s hope it’s not just an excuse for the old bastards to whinge on about apostrophes. Once they’ve got that one out of their system, let’s slope back to the shed and share a Bovril, whatever the hell that is. If nothing else a brisk walk gets the blood pumping, eh?
