Bags. We thought we knew everything there was to know about them. We thought we'd been inside them all. But what if I told you there was one more bag, one special bag no one had ever seen before - let alone opened.What if this bag held the power to change everything? Designed by Russia's only human pea this bag could change the war, Andy Pandy, maybe even Napolean himself.Would you dare to open it? Would you dare to leave the comfort of your own bag and climb inside this other bag? Join us this week as we do exactly that - we're climbing inside Bag 10 and no one can stop us.  ///patreon.com/wapin7 - Fight the curse... with money!wapin7.com/rate 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟-  Rate us, the curse would hate that!instagram.com/wapin7podcast - See us, free us!

Ok, so there's one giant bag and inside that bag there are 9 sub-bags. Each of these 9 sub-bags, apart from bag 9, has other smaller bags inside them - think of them as sub-sub-bags. Oh, and these bags are filled with people and each bag, including sub-bags and maybe sub-sub-bags, are in competition with each other. What are the bags and their many many sub-bags fighting for?Have a listen and find out. ///patreon.com/wapin7 - Fight the curse... with money!wapin7.com/rate 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟-  Rate us, the curse would hate that!instagram.com/wapin7podcast - See us, free us!

Napoleon, we've seen him wild with anger, we've seen him quiver with rage, we've seen him snuff with impunity. Now it's time to see Napoleon calm as a clam - a clam that also happens to control one of the world's most significant military forces. Fresh from a light ride, and with his full-bodied narcissistic fury bottled safely and healthily inside, clam Napoleon is ready to chat like a big clam.Casual, cool, calm, clam - prepare yourself for the most relaxing seafood encounter you're likely to have this week, with France's most reasonable and normal shellfish emperor. ///patreon.com/wapin7 - Fight the curse... with money!wapin7.com/rate 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟-  Rate us, the curse would hate that!instagram.com/wapin7podcast - See us, free us!

We start with three noble Barry’s: Barry the Bugler, Barry the Bodyguard and Barry the Burger (horse). Will the Barry’s successfully escort their leader, who might also be called Barry, along the yellow brick road to find out who’s behind the curtain?  Will they succeed? Will they successfully stop the war? Or will they each get a faceful of snuff? Whatever happens, we can all agree, it’s absolutely NOT like rain on your wedding day.  ///patreon.com/wapin7 - Emerge from the shadows and support the podcast!wapin7.com/rate 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟-  Don't rate bad, rate good!instagram.com/wapin7podcast - Follow us on the baddest app around!tolstoy@wapin7.com - Humble email, not a bad way to send us text or pictures!WAPIN7.com - Visit Tolstoy's Hall of Fame, nothing bad here!

We're back for Book 9 and boy is this going to be bad! Not the podcast, cross our saucy little fingers, but the world of War and Peace. It's been way too long since we heard from that Napoleon chap and we really got the feeling that he wasn't quite finished last time. Plus we've had quite a bit of peace recently, which makes the title of the book quite ominous indeed.Whatever happens we're in this together, so pour yourself a hot steaming cup of beef tea and join us for Book 9! ///patreon.com/wapin7 - Emerge from the shadows and support the podcast!wapin7.com/rate 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟-  Don't rate bad, rate good!instagram.com/wapin7podcast - Follow us on the baddest app around!tolstoy@wapin7.com - Humble email, not a bad way to send us text or pictures!WAPIN7.com - Visit Tolstoy's Hall of Fame, nothing bad here!

Incredibly attractive as they may be, slugs are typically not known for their speed or for their clever plans. Today that all changes. Prepare to meet the slug who has it all... great looks, sure (like all slugs), but also an incredible mensa level planning intellect, and exclusive access to the fastest transport system this side of Prussia. He's got everything he needs, except for one thing - a slug bride, but today that all could be about to change. ///patreon.com/wapin7 - Slip into action and support the podslime!wapin7.com/rate 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟-   Slime a quick rating or review!instagram.com/wapin7podcast/ - Follow us on Slimestergram!tolstoy@wapin7.com - Email us or send us a picture of some slime near you!WAPIN7.com - Join the newsletter & visit Tolstoy's Slug of Fame!

Slugs: the familiar garden beastie known for their gelatinous trails, unsightly appearance and voracious love of salad.19th century Russian slugs were a little different - around 6ft tall they were known to roam in pairs, using their incredible influence and good looks to lure unsuspecting victims into questionable slime related situations.Today we’re going inside the slimy mind of Moscow’s biggest, most prolific slug and his equally sluggy sidekick.They'll be slugging their way around town covering everything in their path in deplorable, upsetting, slime, and we’ll be asking some crucial questions: What do slugs think? What do they want? If they get their slimy hands on you, is there any escape?///patreon.com/wapin7 - Slip into action and support the podslime!wapin7.com/rate 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟-   Slime a quick rating or review!instagram.com/wapin7podcast/ - Follow us on Slimestergram!tolstoy@wapin7.com - Email us or send us a picture of some slime near you!WAPIN7.com - Join the newsletter & visit Tolstoy's Slug of Fame!

Why does the Devil have a saucepan son and why are they dancing? What's wrong with the King's arms? Why is he also dancing? Why is their world made entirely of cardboard?I wish we could answer those questions but unfortunately we just have more: why is the audience slowly getting naked, why is everyone screaming, will Natasha - or for that fact anyone - ever be happy again?We're off to the Opera!It's all over when the Devil breakdances. ///patreon.com/wapin7 - Dance into action and support the podcast!wapin7.com/rate 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟-   Leave a raving or review!instagram.com/wapin7podcast/ - Follow us on Clubstergram!tolstoy@wapin7.com - Email us or send us a picture of a club near you!WAPIN7.com - Join the newsletter & visit Tolstoy's Club of Fame!

If we want to understand why pure, inescapable sadness has descended on what was once a happy, albeit somewhat violent and troubling book, we must go back in time.Way, way, way back, all the way to Book 7 and ask ourselves some hard questions - what went wrong? Is anyone to blame? Could over indulgence of sauce or other condiments possibly be the culprit? Everything on the table this week, even the sauces, as we go deep into the bottle of sadness to find out just how we got here and how the heck we might get out. ///patreon.com/wapin7 - Dance into action and support the podcast!wapin7.com/rate 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟-   Leave a raving or review!instagram.com/wapin7podcast/ - Follow us on Clubstergram!tolstoy@wapin7.com - Email us or send us a picture of a club near you!WAPIN7.com - Join the newsletter & visit Tolstoy's Club of Fame!

Sure, being sad is sad. We can't deny it. It feels bad, it feels really quite sad in fact.But what if the only way to conquer sadness is to be even more sad? What if you could have so much sadness that sadness itself would become sad and spit you out?It's a bold idea, sadness would never expect that. Join us this week as we try once again to vanquish sadness in the only way left, by flipping the whole damn sad town on its head and sadding things up until the sadness falls right out. It's big, it's bold, it's sad, it's WAPIN7 Book 8.///patreon.com/wapin7 - Dance into action and support the podcast!wapin7.com/rate 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟-   Leave a raving or review!instagram.com/wapin7podcast/ - Follow us on Clubstergram!tolstoy@wapin7.com - Email us or send us a picture of a club near you!WAPIN7.com - Join the newsletter & visit Tolstoy's Club of Fame!

You thought you knew sad? You know, sad... that feeling you get when you realise you've eaten the last crisp and there won't be any more crisps tonight, or when you have a shower and the hot water runs out, or even when you're on a call and the WiFi drops off and you don't know why. Sad, very sad indeed. But it turns out things can be even sadder than that, things can get really, really sad actually in quite a sad way. So buckle up your sad belt, pack a happy snack in your pocket and join us on the sad bus. If we're going to sad town, at least we're going together. ///patreon.com/wapin7 - Dance into action and support the podcast!wapin7.com/rate 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟-   Leave a raving or review!instagram.com/wapin7podcast/ - Follow us on Clubstergram!tolstoy@wapin7.com - Email us or send us a picture of a club near you!WAPIN7.com - Join the newsletter & visit Tolstoy's Club of Fame!
