  • SWH-2 #3: 2012 Roundup
    It's that time of year where Ali, Ian and Chris park themselves round the kitchen table on the High St and ponder the past 12 months in terms of book, film, music and other miscellany. There is the annual missive from Scots Whay Hae's Dr Books, Ronnie Young, who pokes Chris with a Thor shaped stick, and once more give us his list of the best of the blockbusters of the year. Where else could you find and hour or so of discussion that touches upon Alan Warner, Johnny Greenwood, the use of Doric in a Pixar movie, electro/pop, David Byrne and the joy of silence.

  • SWH-2 #2: Catriona Child Interview
    The latest podcast sees Ian and Ali joined by writer Catriona Child who talks about her terrific debut novel Trackman. During the chat they cover the healing power of music, the brilliance of Watership Down, the importance of a good name, and the enduring appeal of The Great Escape. Ali also details how he psychologically scarred his wee brother when they were kids. So, something for everyone!

  • SWH-2 ⌗1: Eugene Twist and the joy of Soundtracks
    The second series of Scots Whay Hae! podcasts kicked off with live music and chat from one of Ian and Ali's favourite musicians, Eugene Twist. He played a couple of tracks, including one exclusive, before joining Ali and the returning Chris Ward to tell us about his new album, his endless search for new sounds, and the importance of a musical education, before the chat turned to the joy of soundtracks. All this and a mention for The Wild River Apples! | Tracks by Eugene Twist are Halloween Drama Queen and It's Down To You. http://www.eugenetwist.com

  • Scots Whay Hae! Podcast 19 - Ewan Morrison Interview

    The latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast sees man of the moment, Ewan Morrison, join Ali to ostensibly talk about his latest book ‘Tales From the Mall', but as expected the conversation turns to many topics which are troubling the Morrison mind. Publishing, the myths of social media, the future for the novel, the behemoth that is Wamazon are all discussed, and much more besides.  So strap yourself in for a breathless podcast that'll get you thinking. And that's got to be a good thing; right?

  • Scots Whay Hae! Podcast 18 Colin McCredie Interview

    After a brief break to gather our thoughts and set up new guests, the Scots Whay Hae! podcast returns. Number 18 sees Ali talking to TV's Colin McCredie about the best from Scottish Telly past. It's a big subject to cover, but we manage to touch on programmes from the 1960s to the present day. I'm sure we missed many people's favourites, but hopefully there's enough of interest to please everyone from casual watchers to Telly Addicts.

  • Scots Whay Hae! Podcast 17 - Record Store Day with Arran Arctic and Chris Ward

    For the latest podcast Chris, Ian and Ali are joined by the fabulous Arran Arctic who played live for us, and you, before joining in with a chat about the importance of Record Store Day, memories of early music purchases, and those ‘lost' albums which didn't fit the neat narratives of popular culture. But the main reason for listening is to hear Arran play and sing, something very special indeed. Music by Arran Arctic: 1st track is 'All That I Can Do', 2nd track 'Always About You' and the final track is 'Keep'.

  • Scots Whay Hae! Podcast 16 - Rodge Glass - Bring Me the Head of Ryan Giggs

    The 16th podcast is our second attempt at an interview with writer Rodge Glass. We initially tried to do so at the launch of his latest novel ‘Bring Me the Head of Ryan Giggs' but electronic gremlins got the better of us. What we have following the interview is some live footage from that night of Rodge reading from the book and it makes for a great listen. But then I would say that.

  • Scots Whay Hae! Podcast 15 - Doug Johnstone Interview

    Scots Whay Hae! went on the road to Portobello to interview writer, journalist and musician Doug Johnstone for podcast number 15. Once we made it through the Haar we talked indie music, art versus craft, and novels old and new, while avoiding being bitten by the patrons of The Espy.

  • Scots Whay Hae! Podcast 14 - Top 5 Scottish Albums with Nicola Meighan

    In this, the epic 14th podcast, Ali and Chris are joined by Scots Whay Hae's favourite music journalist Nicola Meighan to help them come up with a final five top Scottish albums of all time. Hear accusations of ungallant ganging up, feel the pain as Chris grits his teeth so much they squeak, and sit back, pour yourself a drink, and relax as the running time is a record 1 hour 40 mins plus. All this and so much more. If you disagree with us let us know, unless you are going to be abusive, in which case don't bother.
