Join us for A Wee Natter, the chatshow/talkshow/podcast about the not so important issues of the day. In this week's episode we kick things off with a look at what you'd do if you won a serious amount of money. Turns out you're all quite generous!

We then explore how two words that on their own cause no trouble but bring them together and they strike fear in everyone's lives. Talking of fear, we then take a step into the world of international politics. Who'd have thought fish and chips was such as controversial topic.

Noticing that we aren't exactly experts in the topic, we then moved on quickly into some of the more mind-bending elements of bingo. No, really, that game you play with a dobber. And on the topic of games, we then have a discussion on video games and playing them in odd places.

Perennial favourites Elected and the Ancient Quiz return. We also explore one of the paradoxes of the vinyl revival. Oh, and why does a bottle of washing up liquid last so long?

Join us for A Wee Natter, the chatshow/talkshow/podcast about the not so important issues of the day. In this week's episode we kick things off with a look at the gifts you gave or received that were not appreciated. In the hopes of making ourselves a bit happier, we find out what you'd do if you won an insane amount of money,

With Valentines making an appearance this week, we explore what a budget romantic night could look like... and the ways it could go wrong! Powered by love, we take a trip back in history to check out the first Japanese astronaut. The time travel continues with a look back to the Sarajevo Winter Olympics. Somehow it's 40 years ago this week!

Elected returns with a visit to the shops and a plan to solve the problem of sweet treats becoming smaller. Whoever came up with "fun size" probably hasn't had fun in a long time. Talking of returns, the outdated 100 question quiz returns with us puzzling over where loofahs come from. It's probably not where you're thinking of.

We then take a trip to an old BHS store where snails are taking over. Is it all part of a sinister plot? It all gets more complicated when we find out something mind blowing about the Amazon river.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the chatshow/talkshow/podcast about the not so important issues of the day. In this week's episode we kick things off by finding out all the uncool things we're surprisingly good at. Talking of unappreciated, we then ask you about the gifts you gave or received that didn't go down well.

Marc then shares his dilemma about lollipop people. As a fully grown adult, would you wait for them before crossing the road? And talking about walking, we take a look at solving the smell and lack of coffee shop problem at the top of Everest.

With pancake day just around the corner, we find out everyone's favourite toppings. It wasn't the original plan but some of you have some right weird tastes.

In this week's edition of Elected! (our mission to build the people's manifesto for unimportant issues), we come up with a novel way to resolve the Rufford Ford problem. Though we also suspect it won't be taken up by the council in their consultation!

Our 100 question returns with a step into history. Did you manage to figure out the right answer? We follow up by continuing our exploration into the world of flight with a visit to the bathroom scales.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the chatshow/talkshow/podcast about the not so important issues of the day. In this week's episode we kick things off by feeling no sympathy for the water bosses having a secret meeting to complain that we're being mean for not wanting higher bills. To console ourselves, we check out your suggestions for wrestler-style walk in music.

On a mission to get even happier, we enter the world of video games. Turns out there's an alarming number of games involving cats in the world! Though a trip to the cinema afterwards doesn't quite go as planned.

Remember the family photo album? We leave it hidden in the cupboard and try to pretend there's no embarrassing photos in there. Though with Polaroids making a comeback, that may change.

We also explore the reasons your boss makes daft decisions. Including one backed by proper boffins with research!

You know that moment you spot someone you really don't want to chat to? Jenny provides the ultimate solution to the problem. Though as we then learn, you don't always sneak away successfully and sometimes leave a trail to follow. As part of keeping up with the cutting edge, we use AI to explore where we should live.

In this week's edition of Elected! we take on the semi-serious issue of pub closures. After much deliberation, we come up with a manifesto pledge to resolve one of the least important problems.

Without dropping into the obvious Monty Python jokes we explore something the Romans did actually do for us. The catch is it wasn't something we really wanted. That's before we move onto the topic of whether kids should be allowed in pubs or not.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the comedy talkshow that covers the not-so-important issues of the day. We kick off this episode getting offended by American researchers with an alternative view on what should be added to tea. That then leads into us tackling a listener complaint in our usual not-so-serious style.

We then move into the world of wrestling that may be making a comeback but inspires us to pick walk-in music for our mundane lives. After emptying the postbag, we enter the world of underwear and the slip-ups you don't expect! With the embarrassment over, we nip down the bakery to find the person in front of us taking the last sausage roll. It just isn't our day.

In the hope of brightening our day, we look towards chocolate to be our saviour. Alas, it doesn't quite deliver as we'd hoped.

On a more positive note, our mission to build the Peoples' Manifesto, tackling the unimportant issues that wind you up, continues. This week we take on nuisance callers to 999 and come up with an unorthodox solution to the problem.

Ever done that thing where you put something down and completely forget where it was? We investigate the time it happened at a government scale.

Our 100 question quiz continues. Can you figure out the answer before we reveal it?

And talking of misleading, we explore the difference between phishing scams and fishing scams. Turns out the latter has a much more potent pong!

Join us for A Wee Natter, the comedy talkshow that covers the not-so-important issues of the day. We kick off this Scottish special by exploring what life was like north and south of the border in times gone by. This then leads to our presenters trying their hand at a "shout out".

We also delve into those embarrassing incidents that keep going through our head just before we drift off to sleep. They'll keep haunting you so we ask you to share them with us! The embarrassment continues as we chat about the Bay City Rollers.

The confessions keep flowing as Marc admits to a mistake then tackles the madness that is rail travel in the UK. A few of you also share your top songs in Spotify for 2023. Turns out we're not quite the cool cats we used to be.

Cats aren't the only critter we encounter on our travels but naming your furry friend is a difficult task. How do you choose a name that doesn't sound daft when you have to shout them back?

Elected - our mission to build the peoples' manifesto ahead of the 2024 general election continues with an exploration of camping. Can we devise a policy to make sleeping under the stars a little less miserable?

The out of date quiz returns. Can you figure out the answer before we reveal it?

And talking of questions, we check out if the claims made by AI's proponents matches reality. Our experience with chat bots suggests otherwise.

Join us for A Wee Natter, the comedy talkshow that covers the not-so-important issues of the day. We touch on a New Years' food challenge that'll pile on the pound before you've even got a whiff of the gym.

Talking of things we would rather forget, we move on to things no-one else remembers but you. Fine people just like you got in touch and let us know about those mystery memories.

After that we break out the time machine and go back 30 years to celebrate the formation of one of the most iconic bands of the 90s. Then we suggest better options for commemorative stamps!

We also try our hand at proper local radio. Find out how well... or not it goes!

In case you've not noticed, it's an election year. Join us in building the peoples' manifesto, dealing with the niggles and frustrations in life. You tell use the issue, we come up with a policy to tackle it!

You also get in touch which triggers some very controversial biscuit comments from Jenny.

Our mighty 100 question quiz we wrote over a decade ago and might have slightly out of date answers returns. Can you get the answer before our caller?

This all prompts Marc to consider walking home. No... his original hometown 260 miles away in Dunfermline. Will he succeed, only one way to find out!

Join us for A Wee Natter in the #comedy #talkshow that covers the not-so-important issues of the day. This week we touch on gifts from the petrol station when you leave Christmas shopping just a little too late. Who else has had something lovingly gifted in tinfoil?

Fashion isn't something we can claim to ever have been on top of but we look at the trends that tend to increase your blood pressure. And that's before we hail the return of a certain haircut.

Cold weather brings out the gritters but someone in the highways depot has been having a bit too much fun. Can you blame them when they spend so much of their time on ice? While that's going on we heat things up with serious debate about how you say the word scone. Is it "scone" or "scone"?

The food debate continues as we explore exactly where you're allowed to use ketchup. Along the way we stumble onto a conspiracy that needs to become public! After that our hunt for the best yule log to bestow upon your Christmas table for 2023 comes to an end with a (not so) shocking last minute winner.

Our 100 question quiz continues with a historical look at the marriages of Henry VIII. Will you be caught out by the difference between a marriage and a wedding?

We also take on one of the most boring yet greatest stories ever and plan for A Wee Natter version of The Nativity. Will it be a success? It'll certainly be different. And talking of different, Jenny touches on a trend that's making Christmas Eve a little more special.

Join us for A Wee Natter in the #comedy #talkshow that covers the not-so-important issues of the day. This week we touch on the fact this year's coming to an end and it's time for those "blank" of the year awards. So... erm... what's your word of the year?

We take a moment to pay tribute to one of the most famous cats on the internet, who sadly passed away recently. We also take a trip to the market that turns into an unexpected trip of a different kind!

The hunt for the best yule log to grace your Christmas dinner table really heats up with entries from two of the major supermarkets. In an upset we've got a new first place but who is it?

We continue the upset with the discovery of an ancient quiz from the 2010s. Can you still answer the questions from it? Find out over the next few episodes.

The festive fun continues with an exploration of the man in the big red suit and the ways he's just a bit creepy. Even more so when he turns into Secret Santa. Though he's not the only one out there delivering presents with a bit of a bang!

Join us for A Wee Natter in the #comedy #talkshow that covers the not-so-important issues of the day. This week we touch on those songs that trigger memories of random people or moments in your life. We even have a sniff and some old memories as well!

We also step into the world of politics and international relations by making a suggestion on where to send the Elgin Marbles in a deal that would make no-one happy! We also make local radio DJs and pub bores upset by recommending a certain book gets banned.

With 2024 just around the corner, it's your opportunity to find out what the status symbols will be next year and the status symbols of the 1900s. It's also amazing how things change over the years. It's also amazing just what candles you can get!

One thing that's been missing in this country for a while is Great #British pride! We combine the power of Kerbal Space Program and British engineering to re-ignite our space adventures.

The "serious consumer advice" continues as things heat up in the hunt for the best chocolate yule log to put on your table for Christmas day. Find out which big name didn't quite make it to the top of the list!

Films and TV shows make an appearance with those lines we still quote decades later. Though one song almost got Marc fired a long time ago. Can you guess which festive favourite it is? The topic of dreams also comes up but with a dark twist. Turns out someone's developing a way to allow you to work in your dreams. Will you join us in uprising against this?

The bad news is that you might already have a spy in your household. Elf on a Shelf has gone too far and we suggest how to tackle the madness.
