"Welcome To Yugoslavia"

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! Music composed and performed by Michael Livesley & Andy Frizell The voice of Pwfthhh- Michael Livesleywww.michaellivesley.com Series Producers- Erica Lear & Mark Hutchinson 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.comTwitter/X: @SlatteryLiveInstagram: tony_slattery_official Hosted on Acast.
