EXPLICIT EPISODE


Come and take a drive with the Avant-Garde Traveller!

In this episode, as I drive the twenty-five kilometres or so from Brodick to Pirnmill on the Isle of Arran, I ramble about:

  • Re-branding my social media accounts, and how I managed to get over a thousand 'likes' on a Facebook post!
  • How I have made over twenty albums and only managed to sell 2 CDs
  • The Chronicle of Youad the Parrot
  • How I learnt to drive when I was 12
  • Why tourists are such bad drivers, at least on Arran
  • I also talk to my friends! Listeners from the future may recognise a character named Hamish from my books - he appears in this podcast! Together, along with several of his friends, we discuss:

    • Our friend Lewis being weird
    • How posh the MV Hebridean Isles is
    • Reversing the patriarchy 
    • And also, Lewis appears in this podcast, as does his mother! Later in the podcast, we discuss chickens committing cannibalism...

      Oh, and I nearly get run off the road by a maniacal driver.

      Enjoy!
