Mulliner’s Buck-U-Uppo — An Audio Podcast Story

It’s been way too long since I last recorded an audio podcast story. This story isn’t newly recorded, but it’s a good one and I thought I’d bring it to your attention.

P.G. Wodehouse’s Mr. Mulliner character is a favorite of mine, among so many simply delightful characters in his long list of stories. This one starts out simply enough with a letter from Aunt Angela to Augustine Mulliner:

My dear Augustine (wrote Angela Mulliner),

I have been thinking so much about you lately, and I cannot forget that, when I saw you last, you seemed very fragile and deficient in vitamins. I do hope you take care of yourself.

I have been feeling for some time that you ought to take a tonic, and by a lucky chance Wilfred has just invented one which he tells me is the finest thing he has ever done. It is called Buck-U-Uppo, and acts directly on the red corpuscles. It is not yet on the market, but I have managed to smuggle a sample bottle from Wilfred’s laboratory, and I want you to try it at once. I am sure it is just what you need.

Your affectionate aunt,

Angela Mulliner

P.S.-You take a tablespoonful before going to bed, and another just before breakfast.

And, this tonic turns Augustine from a sheep into a lion. Listen to the rest of the story to hear how it all turns out. I’m confident you’ll enjoy every single minute and laugh out loud a few times.

Why not download the audio file and listen to it while your driving to that rare grid activation?

Whether you’re driving or sitting at home with a toddy, enjoy.
