I'm joined by Senior Debt Adviser Tommy Gallacher, from Don't Fret About Debt, and we discuss the social stigma around debt and the stresses that come with carrying around the weight of that on your own.

Tommy explains the solutions available to people struggling with debt, and how you can take free, simple steps to stop paying more than you can afford and relieve pressure from creditors.

We also discuss the reasons people fall into debt in the first place, including high interest payday loan companies and ‘buy now pay later’ schemes from online clothing brands. Debt can affect people from all walks of life, but it’s rarely spoken about due to the element of shame associated with it. We unpack all that, and more.

For free, impartial debt advice, tailored to your specific needs, get in touch with Tommy or visit https://www.dontfretaboutdebt.net/blethered/, but before you do, listen to this episode and make up your own mind.

We reflect on the Foreign Office information of the twenty two British citizens who have died while over in Turkey for cosmetic treatment…

Both Martin and Gordon have been on Blethered a few times before, but this is the first time we’ve all been in the studio together, and it was a great laugh from start to finish. 

The lads have a brilliant new podcast called Restless Natives, in association with Global Radio, and I find out how the idea came about, how they became pals in the first place, and their grand plans for a music festival in Martin’s hometown of Greenock, in aid of the absolutely fantastic Ardgowan Hospice.

This is an episode of laughs, stories and chat, interspersed with some poignant reflection on life, hangovers becoming more severe, and the greatest names in Scottish culture, including Billy Connolly and Paolo Nutini. And as always, there’s plenty more.

George Bowie is the undisputed King of breakfast radio in Scotland, and has transcended generations, decades and even genres. From keeping you company in the car on the way to school, to providing the tunes during pre-drinks on a Saturday, he’s been a perpetual presence and one that will remain for a long time to come.

We chat about George’s first rudimentary DJ lessons as a teenager in his dad’s club, while the DJ nipped off for a drink…

George reflects on his start at Radio Clyde in somewhat understated circumstances, plus his very brief departure to a rival radio station in Scotland…

And we chat about the popularity of the GBX, winning over George Michael, Ibiza madness at The Highlander and so much more.
