"Welcome To Yugoslavia"
01/24/25 • 43 min
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!

"You Can't Glue Jelly To Jelly"
Hello, and welcome, whether you like it or not, to Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club! Come and join in as President Tony takes us gently by the extremities 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 rough terrain of cobblers.
First stop is destination number 693: specific materials and purposes. Well that could mean anything really/
More familiar ground awaits with number 872: collections of Latin prose or poetry. Or is it "pose"? It really doesn't matter as the chaps only manage to stick to the subject for about a minute and half.
After that you'll want to head back to the Presidential shed to come to terms with the stuff and nonsense you've been exposed to. If nothing else, it’s an opportunity to write a strong letter of complaint about your time being wasted.
