    Episode. 88 (The Lost Tapes) "While The Cat's Away..."
    2026/04/15
    Hey there Dearest Listener and Patron, I've been back at the coal face of the edit and whilst doing so discovered this recording made during February half-term, which I'd completely mislaid. However here it is, fully restored in full Stereo, direct into your earholes for your entertainment. Episode 88 "While The Cat's Away" was recorded when both of our wives were away and it'd be fair to say me and Tom really cut loose - Tom for instance spent £10 on a second hand watch at a charity shop - and that's only just the beginning! Strap yourselves in for an hour of daft laughter, gentle whimsy and genial, extreme waffle. Enjoy the podcast! catch Rob on tour, all dates are at www.robrouse.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    Episode 86 "Penny Farthings & Coffee W@nkers"
    2026/02/26
    Hey there Dearest listener and beloved Patron, Sorry for the elongated break in comms, it's been a busy old time of late, but I'm delighted to say we are back with episodes in the can and the editing back in full swing. A section of this episode was recorded just before Christmas which goes to explain a short discussion about 'sad advert music' and a rant about seasonal markets on country estates that take the piss out of the consumer! Tom introduces a potential new voting policy which could completely overhaul the current system and hopefully lead to a saner world. We also discuss the danger of delicious Dhal, rolling the dice on use-by dates on pork mince and we go deep-dive into Penny Farthings and Tom's self confessed 'Coffee W@nkerdom' Enjoy the podcast and I'll crack on editing the next episode! Thanks so much for your patience and your support, we really appreciate you all. Rob's currently on tour! Come see a live show - all the dates are here!

    2025/11/26
    Hello there Dear listeners and Beloved Patrons Tom has the Citroen story to beat all Citroen stories on this week's episode. Bearing in mind, my Citroen (now gone) was an absolute catalogue of disasters, this one is a pearler! He then regales me of how he got locked locked inside a theatre in ludicrous circumstances, it's an absolute sh@t storm of human error. We discuss the near-death peril of Old-school Blue Peter challenges and the origin of Anne Summers + much much more. See Rob on tour Come to The Comedy Village Learn more about your ad choices.

    Episode 83. "Tom's Packed Schedule"
    2025/11/04
    Hello there Dearest listener, UWP Officianado and potential Patron It's hard to describe to you just how packed Tom's schedule has been this week, so it's a miracle we've managed to snare him for this weeks episode, don't take my word for it, he'll tell all on the Ep. We also blow the lid of a massive potential and at this point mercifully, utterly hypothetical product recall on all Huel drinks. Although like all the best science fiction, these things are only a few clicks away from reality. And we have a spectacular DOUBLE pant cage review from our man in the field Alan Lunt.
