The Rambling Club have towed the shed to the Wirral Peninsula and the town of West Kirby! Grab your thermos and join Paul and Allan along with their guest, the lovely Mark Hutchinson, and their live audience, as they lead you through four special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is an eye on the proceedings!
First stop is destination number 562: Fossil Invertebrates. The beach where our Ramblers have set up home is littered with fossils. But that doesn't help the ramblers who instead talk about the perils of shaving half your body and painting yourself gold for a 1980s BBC drama. This leads to Paul divulging how he superglued himself to the patio whilst drunk. Can they get back on track?
(Spoiler- no)
Maybe there will be more success to be had with our second subject- 713: Landscape Architecture of Trafficways. Two thirds of the Club can't drive and one member has crashed more vehicles than you can imagine! A display of ignorance follows. Luckily Allan can drive, but is that enough to save the subject?
Next we're heading toward 133: Parapsychology and Occultism. Dion Warwick's Psychic Hotline. A real thing! No, really. Tales of the feud between Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini await you, but which member of the Rambling Club was exorcised as a child?
Our fourth and final destination is 681: Animal Husbandry. The first thing to establish is that Shrews are incredibly violent animals. After that we head down under to recall the time that Neighbours tried to embrace diversity but accidentally combined racism and animal abuse. Youthful tales of killing as many wasps as possible await but the big question is which member of the Rambling Club is a "Size Queen"?
Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club is a free-associating conversation, involving very special guests. 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!
