  • Shadowy Stuff - Drug Dealers, Viagra and a Swapmeet
    This week, the Canadians are coming - again - and Pedro is pushed on his thoughts. Also, he remembers some drug dealers, recalls recently finding some packaging for gentlemen's enhancement pills and reminisces about The King of Magnets (R.I.P.). Scott bravely attempts to lift things by quoting Shakespeare, is our correspondent at the Orpington International Swapmeet, tells us what makes him happy and goes a bit teary-eyed over some Cold War Commuter tat. The question is; are we flabby in the middle?

  • What Car Would Evel Knievel Have Raced and Does Bo Derek List to TUS?

    Answers to those titular questions aside (See what I did there?), we also discuss what Pedro wouldn't buy this week, what Scott did buy last week and taking on the Youtubers we do an unboxing. On a podcast. That's now a thing. Apparently.


    Moving on, there's nothing about 3d-printing because it's dead, observations on two trips to Gaugemaster (the bricks 'n' mortar retailer in Sussex), another race report from Scott's World Tour of British Slot Car Clubs, stuff about the red one with the white roof and the one that's mostly white with blue. And then we even manage to pack in a little bit concerning Truspeed triggers. It's all here, folks. Look nowhere else for slot car content on a podcast.


    CONTENT ADVISORY: we do talk a little about model railways and Pedro says tranche. Sorry. It won't happen again.

  • Sean Connery's Slot Car Tuning Tips
    Roll up! Roll up! Place your bets as to when Scott drops another former co-worker's (driver's) name! Also in this episode: a correction corrected; live googling of the internet as Pedro asserts a thing and is proved wrong once more; Scott rages against Revoslot; we launch the official and controversial Campaign to Ban B.O.; and we disagree over the best looking blue Sierra.

  • Three Intros and One Incorrect Correction
    Nothing if not value for money (and accurate) this episode sports bonus intros at the beginning and end, an incorrect correction that will have to be corrected (the American listener will be all over that), more 3D bemusement and a chat about the Blue Wonder which sounds like a gentleman's performance enhancer but isn't. Also this week, Pedro murders the German language, references Guns 'n' Roses but doesn't sing and questions whether Subbuteo was the precursor to Warhammer. Scott rolls his eyes, declares a fear of electricity and ponders maturity. We also talk utter slot.

  • Episode Thirteen: Unlucky for Some
    In this week's fun-packed output we discuss Abraham Lincoln's contribution to slot cars; buying your own birthday presents; getting invited into the back rooms of 'specialist' retailers (Phnarr!); decal confusion (caused by evolution); it's Pedro's turn to name drop but Scott obviously can't help himself and clearly isn't done yet; Pedro references all the wrong cars in all the right films; and there's a shout out to the Ifold massif, one to @Dopamine and many too many to that John Underwood. Plus, nobody mentions the Thunderslot Mustang or Susan George. Why would they?

  • Hatching Plans to Move into the Slot Car Business
    In this week's episode: Scott and Pedro go off on a flight of fantasy and imagine they own slot car companies - what will they make? Will there be decals for headlights? Also, Pedro insults the French language but defends Joanna Lumley's honour; Scott casts aspersions on the ACO of old but cautions against maligning TWR Racing; a deep love of the R33 Skyline is revealed; we float the concept of a Singer TR7; and both Scott and Pedro lose it big time, discussing the YouTuber, Hairy Metcalfe. But the big question on our American listener's mind is, who does Scott name-drop this week?

  • Talking Knobs (or Dials?)
    Taking on the important topics that matter to you, we ask do Truspeed controllers have knobs or dials? Also, in a very Scott-based episode: is Scott's Team Slot Stratos really a metaphor for Dunkirk; Scott name drops more racing drivers', er... names; did Scott get a tax refund; and Scott shares his race strategy.

  • Possibly Slandering John Watson and Ted Kravitz
    Why do we buy what we buy? Well, this week Scott did buy a Fiat 850 and Pedro declined a 27.91% discount but we both think we'll buy a Wattie's Brabham when we can. Also discussed: Spanish part-works; the forthcoming video diary, Pedro's Road to Brands Hatch; and, inevitably, decals for headlights and the Bastos Rover get a mention. Listen to the end for bonus growling.

  • The Dull-tona 500 Was Dull, Garage 56 Won't Be. Discuss.
    He watches one Daytona 500 highlights video and Scott is suddenly all about building an oval in his garden. #rolleyes. Also mentioned: sticky buns and waitress service at clubs; Scott actually goes clubbing (see previous); the Old Testament slot racer goes biblical on headlights and what's with women and slot cars? All this and some wistful thoughts about Pedro's aunt V's life.

  • What Caught Our Eyes This Week, a.k.a. What Rattled Pedro's Cage
    An episode in which nobody mentions this weekend's NSCC swapmeet at Milton Keynes, Scott goes a little sweary in the intro and prepares to go clubbing, Pedro struggles to pronounce Copersucar, declares The Car of the Year for 2023 (then promptly changes his fickle mind) and we both go Bastos crazy. We also discuss boxes.

About Talking Utter Slot

From the publisher's feed

Grown men playing with slot cars is much more fun if you don't take it too seriously. Be it Scalextric or Carrera, NSR or Slot.it, or even old Ninco and Fly, there's fun to be had with all of them…
