    Episode. 88 (The Lost Tapes) "While The Cat's Away..."

    15/04/2026 | 1h 1 mins.
    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!

    Episode 87 "Chalk & Cheese and Olympic Roly-Polys"

    25/03/2026 | 47 mins.
    Hello there Dearest listener and potential beloved Patron,

    I hereby present episode 87 of the podcast that isn't really about weightlifting to you. Recorded at hacksaw ridge in the rain and at altitude we really get into it. First up listener and Patron Angela has sent her knackered coffee machine to Tom in the hope that he can fix it and move it on. So takes me through the finer details and makes a coffee before we head up the ridge. Huge thanks to Angela and family for coming to see me on tour too - which you can do by going to robrouse.com.

    Other hot button topics include - The offal available at Morrisons, the phrase 'Chalk and Cheese', the perils of acid rain when you're running an aquatic centre, Spring, the wonder that is Paul Foot and Olympic roly-polys!

    Episode 86 "Penny Farthings & Coffee W@nkers"

    26/02/2026 | 58 mins.
    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!

    Episode 84. "There's a Rat in me Citroen"

    26/11/2025 | 49 mins.
    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.
