On this week’s Ramble, Joe wanders into Dublin's Museum of Curiosities to speak with the curator Paul about his collection of… weird things. 

Joe reflects on his own failed collections, like the fact that he threw away his million dollar Pokémon cards, and comes face-to-face with a literal room of nightmare fuel. Think mummified cats, a two-headed cow, and a 19th-century witch's conjuring box. Naturally, he gets easily spooked by a supposedly haunted clown shaped sleeping bag named Buttons, and ultimately runs away from a creaking cupboard. Explicit.

This is Ramble, a podcast where Joe McGucken immerses himself in the crazy world of  each guest, capturing on-location interviews with people from the fringes of society, people from weird subcultures, hobbyists, sports people, celebrities and anyone in between.  Joe is only interested in hearing a good story. The problem is, Joe is highly unqualified. With  zero journalistic credentials and a naive optimism, Joe is perpetually out of his depth. But  there’s a charm to it all. Driven by a genuine, relentless curiosity, he fumbles his way through  these raw encounters and reflects on the madness back in the studio, relying entirely on his  own pure inquisitive, nature and the extreme patience of his guests.
