Charlie is joined for the second episode this week by three of the lads from one of his favourite bands about just now — The Rants. Logan and Shay jump on for a chat about how they came together, where the name came from, and the influences that have shaped their sound.

We dive into their debut EP Ode To a Broken Soul, the stories behind them, and which songs they love playing most live. We also talk about their favourite gigs so far, highlights from a massive year, and their big slot at Tenement Trail next month alongside the likes of Dead Pony, Gallus and Callum Stewart.

Of course, it wouldn’t be the podcast without some football chat. We cover childhood memories, who they support, Scotland’s latest games, which stadium they’d play halftime at, and even compare each band member to a footballer. There’s also the all-important question: if The Rants were a five-a-side team, who’s scoring goals, who’s stuck in nets, and who’s definitely getting sent off?

We wrap it all up with some quick-fire questions, listener Q’s, and a good old rant about the modern game.

Plenty of laughs, music, and football chat in this one — make sure to follow The Rants on Instagram and Spotify, and get stuck in.

John, Jeff and Josh are joined by football author Shareef Abdullah.

There is chat about his recent book 'Five in a Row' about Scotland at Italia 90.

The inspiration behind Shareef's decision to write the book and favourite memories of the tournament are explored.

We reflect on the strength of our squad back then with there being some top players who never even made it to the tournament.

Scotland start their upcoming campaign with a double header away to Denmark and Belarus. There is discussion around the squad and whether there were any glaring omissions.

This leads to a slightly heated debate about certain players.

The podcast was recorded on the night of deadline day which was typically finished before some of the biggest deals were finalised.

We finish off by discussing some of the weekend action, European draws and some quick fire questions for Shareef.

John and Charlie are joined by Evan Keen for our first football/music podcast if the season.

We kick off by discussing accessibility issues at gigs with Evan talking about a documentary he did with our food friend Stephen Reside.

You can find Evan on most major streaming platforms and on Instagram @evankeenmusic 

There is plenty of great chat to get in your ears as Evan discusses the buzz of playing in Germany during the Euros with some surreal moments.

Evan is a Kilmarnock fan so there is some chat about that including some projects he has done with the club.

You can catch Evan at Prestfest this weekend which is a cracking festival in Prestwick.

We finish off with some fun stuff in a cracking first football/music special of the season.

It's regulars only as the bouncers like to tell you as John, Charlie, Jeff and Josh are joined by Ricky who makes his debut on the podcast.

There are some old throwbacks to begin and excuses as to why Erin couldn't make the podcast.

The main focus of the chat is the fortunes of the Scottish teams in Europe.

This leads on to plenty of interesting debate about talented Scottish players in the league and transfer strategies at clubs.

We predict how many teams will win their playoffs and the potential financial rewards.

There is a game for you all to play as you need to find some interesting phrases used on the episode.

Paul hosted with regulars Graeme, John and Josh for the latest tier 5 and below pod.

There was chat to begin with in terms of where we're been so far this season.

The boys from the West had a shoot out as they discussed their respective teams.

Graeme gave us an insight in to what's happening in the North.

Rory watch took place as he continues his quest to score against every team he has played against.

Our own version of last team standing was discussed in terms of teams we predicted to be last to lose in Scotland.

Josh gave an insight in to his love for Darvel football club and all his other favourite teams.

Paul and Graeme went head to head as they discussed what the better football city was out of Aberdeen and Dundee.

If you've never been before to tier 5 and below then get yourself to a game. Excellent value, usually a decent amount of goals and you might just discover your new favourite ground.

Falkirk fan Alan, Kilmarnock fan Martin from the Killie View, Livingston supporter and podcast debutante Liam and Ethan, the voice of Dens Park, join Laurie, who this week, is on hosting duty.

We look at the four teams, their summers, starts to the season and areas to strengthen before the transfer window closes.

There is a real air of optimism from the fans of the so-called 'bottom four,' even at Dens Park, with Elvis appearing to settle in the building.

Regulars Vietnam John, Erin and Graeme D are joined by guests Alan and Ben.

We briefly discuss the opening weekend for Aberdeen, Hearts, Motherwell and St Mirren.

There is chat about signings made so far, where teams need to strengthen and whether squads are stronger at this point as they were last season.

Sadly as we discuss youngsters who may breakthrough this season there aren't many players everyone can think of.

We chat about Bloom's analytics, new management team are Motherwell, some predictions and more.

Vietnam John is still recovering from his trip in eastern asia with a bad case of Eat-Pray-Love, or in his case, Eat-Beer-FakeFootballKits - so Chaz and Josh are back in the hot seat to preview the top 4 of last year's premiership season! 

They're joined by returning guest Rangers fan Andy L, DUFC Stato Andy W & Celtic fan Ethan to go through opening day, transfer windows and the coming season. 

1 game in it offers a space for Andy L and Josh to cathartically express their dismay at another pathetic league opener, Ethan his dismay at Celtic waiting for Champions League money before signing players to excite the fans, Charlie a chance to wax lyrical about Hibs' oncoming season and Andy W a chance to promote the antiracist values of the good people of Dundee. 

Here we go! 

Thanks as always for listening!

Three weeks, three different podcasts hosts. With St Johnstone's relegation last season, Danny has picked up the mantle of hosting the Championship podcasts this season and straight out the gate he's managed to get a full quota of fellow fans from across the league.

He's joined by Airdrie fan Katie, Arbroath fan Fairmer (or Alan to give him his Sunday name), Ayr United fan Cammy, Dunfermline fan Adam, Morton fan Robert, Partick Thistle fan Heather, Queen's Park fan David, Raith Rovers fan Ally, and Ross County fan Ross.

As always at this point in the season, especially after some good League Cup group stage campaigns, it's mostly a podcast of optimism. The hopes and aspirations for the coming league campaign are covered, along with how the teams have changed in terms of squad from last season.

Everyone has their own predictions of how they'll get on this season too, all the great stuff you'd expect from the always competitive second tier of Scottish Football really!

Thanks as always for listening!
