The fantastic Matt Hickman from Brownbear joins me for the latest episode of TELT. Matt discusses his incredible journey from the town of Largs to supporting The Libertines at Hyde Park and playing sold out support shows at Europe's biggest venues such as Barrowlands and the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam. Brownbear have shared the stage with some of the biggest names in music and made a name for themselves across the country, culminating in the release of their highly anticipated debut album 'What Is Home?' in 2018 and a sold out headline show at Glasgow's famous King Tut's. Matt tells us all about the ups and downs along the way, while we discuss a range of topics such as discrimination in the music industry, the evolution from album culture to single culture, politics in music and so much more.

I'm joined by the legendary Vic Galloway of the BBC for the latest episode of TELT. Vic talks openly and honestly as he details his unlikely journey from aspiring musician to the top of the broadcasting for new music. We discuss Vic's background in music and his influences, how we landed his first radio role at BBC Radio 1, being the first radio presenter to give a platform to artists such as Biffy Clyro and Franz Ferdinand, while he details his own career as an artist. This is a must listen for aspiring artists and music fans alike, as Vic lays out what you need to stand out to BBC Radio presenters and who he's tipping to make the breakthrough in Scotland.

We have an absolutely incredible guest in Gordon Smart joining us for the fourth special episode of TELT. Gordon speaks openly and honestly about his exciting career in the media to date. We discuss growing up in Kinross and T in the Park moving to the area, musical influences and background, his time as editor of The Sun's 'Bizarre' column in the 00s, going on tour with Kasabian and befriending Noel Gallagher and watching the breakthrough of Scottish bands such as Franz Ferdinand and The View. Gordon reflects in some mistakes he's made while at The Sun, before discussing his current role as a presenter at Radio X and who he's tipping for the future. Plus so much more. You can't miss this one.

The incredible rise of Spyres is one of Scottish music's greatest success stories of 2019. From fans of Glasgow's burgeoning music scene to one of the must see bands in the country in the space of 12 months is made all the more incredible by the fact that the oldest member is just 18. Keira and Jude discuss their journey to date, including their Spotify success, signing to 7West Music record label, announcing Jesus and The Mary Chain support, TRNSMT and much more. 

Fresh off the back of releasing the incredible 'One Last Time,' Fabric Bear's frontman Ryan Hunter joins TELT for EP13. From songwriting to 150,000 streams in a whirlwind 2019, that included a SAMA nomination for Best Rock Act, Ryan tells host Jack the Edinburgh band's journey to date.

Barry Dolan (Gallus) and Blair Crichton (CRYSTAL) join me for the first ever panel discussion on TELT, as we discuss whether we can differentiate between the artist and their art in light of the current 'cancelled' culture. Using Morrissey and his most recent racist outbursts as a case study, we discuss the importance of tackling and raising awareness of these issues in the current climate, and we weigh up both sides of the argument as to whether or not we can still appreciate an artist's art in spite of their gross misdemeanours.
