  1. Con O'Neill & Mark Hutchinson- "Yes, Well, You've Got Your Nappy On"

    4 DAYS AGO

    Con O'Neill & Mark Hutchinson- "Yes, Well, You've Got Your Nappy On"

    They say two heads are better than one. Well, we have two Guest Presidents this week leading the members Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club. Not only do we have the legend that is Con O'Neill, but also his Blood Brothers co-star and the partner of our lovely President Tony Slattery, Mark Hutchinson! Join us as guest Presidents O'Neill and Hutchinson lead us on a ramble through three 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 on hand to keep a finger on the button of b******t!   First stop is destination number 433: German Dictionaries. Well, one of the team speaks German, but despite this it doesn't take long before they're well off subject. Then we’re off to 112- No Longer Assigned (Philosophy & Psychology)- a chance for the team to reflect on what has gone wrong with the world of late, and also the question of individual philosophies. Finally we find ourselves at Number 822- English Drama. Familiar ground for everyone. Scurrilous tales of nights out in Hollywood, personal acting methodology, and a legitimate opportunity for Paul to bang on about Crossroads, thanks to the recent ITV drama 'Nolly', in which Con starred. After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, and an opportunity for the team to decompress after a lively, and really rather sweary, ramble.. 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!   Music composed and performed by Michael Livesley & Andy Frizell   The voice of Pwfthhh- Michael Livesley www.michaellivesley.com   Series Researcher- Soula Carmichael   Series Producers- Erica Lear and Mark Hutchinson Editor- Harry Carmichael Producers- Alan Dyebing & Stuart Morris   Executive Producer- Kris Castle   Series Executive Producer- Mark Strickson Join the rambling club and receive your club membership card, badges, exclusive content and access to early release episodes and exclusive club-only perks! www.patreon.com/SlatteryLive   Official Website- www.tonyslattery.com Twitter/X: @SlatteryLive Instagram: tony_slattery_official Con's Instagram: oneill.con © Fanfaranade Productions 2025 Hosted on Acast.

    Ted Robbins- "Fingers Bitten Off By An Otter"

    It can only be a delight to hear a knock at the shed door and discover that the legendary Ted Robbins is stood there, ready to ramble!

As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep a firm hand on the tiller of toss! Our only destination this week is 440: Romance Languages (French). Well it doesn’t take long for this to go off topic, and you can discover exactly how Terry Nutkins lost several fingers! Luckily Ted is not also a remarkable comedian, but he’s very knowledgeable as well. A fascinating ramble through Ted’s own story as well as both Rabbie Burns and Shakespeare is on the cards! Then before you know it, we’re back in the shed. However that’s not all as Ted worked with our lovely and much-missed Tony Slattery back in the day. That means it’s time to share some memories and stories of our fabulous guest President! If nothing else it’ll keep you from sticking your fingers in any otters.   Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club is a free-associating conversation, involving very special guests.

    Two guest Presidents? Well why not! Joining us this week we have both Robin Ince and James Payton! Can the bingo machine, as ever soothing the way with its voice which isn’t entirely unreminiscent of Sir Stephen Fry, cope with transporting four ramblers into the great outdoors?

Well could it be that the bingo machine is playing a trick as Allan is convinced they’ve wandered down that pathway once before! That certainly doesn’t stop our ramblers. After that surely the machine will be kind to us with her next selection? 886: Not Used. Hmm…well, let’s see what they manage to do with that!  After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, to get the kettle on and give those legs a rest.
