Summary

When did Mo Gilligan have a kick about with Rod Stewart and Madonna's son? And what's it got to do with his most precious items? It's all in this week's Wonderbox.  Mo takes Russell on a ride through his life and it's full of fascinating tidbits: How to sell a suit, how to curate a perfect collection of trainers. Also in a wild Antiques Roadshow rip-off moment, Mo finds out live on the podcast if his rare action man figure is worth thousands of pounds... Mo is currently touring his live show. If you're in Australia or New Zealand, now's your time to catch him. Mo's UK dates are from September onwards and you can get those tickets now, baby.  Find out all the find-outs at www.mogilligan.com   Aaaaand Russell's back out on tour soon. He'll be bothering mooses in Canada, then bothering polar bears in Scandinavia (and doing some gigs inbetween). Check out the dates and get the tickets on them internetses. www.russellhoward.com   For all the rest of you...there it is. The end of the written words. Well done for making it this far, we live in an age of reduced attention spans and to be here now - well you're a goaddam hero. Keep it up, you living legend. See you next week for what I assure you will be a most wonderful Wonderbox.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
