The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 15 With Veronica Salt Teaser 1
The late great Glen Campbell once sang “Like a rhinestone cowboy, riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo” but if that song were to be covered by my next guest the lyrics would be “Like a rhinestone G-string, limping out of the club with my arse screaming NO NO NO!”
Would it be a number one hit? Yes it would.
So buckle up, get yer spurs on and make sure your vape is fully charged because we’re all going for a ride!

June 03, 2026 The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 14 With Kevin Brannigan - The Anaphylactic Shock Factor.
The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 14 With Kevin Brannigan "The Anaphylactic Shock Factor".
“Glasgow has a reputation for being rough, dangerous and intimidating, all of which can be true. What isn’t spoken about enough is the heart that runs through the city and the people who live there.
Our humour can be harsh and we laugh at things that shock other people but that all comes from growing up in a place that hasn’t always been easy to live in.
Nothing great ever came from taking the easy road and my next guest knows all about that. He took every experience good, bad and ugly and instead of letting it define HIM used it to inspire HER and out came Big Angie.
A power house from the East End of a Glasgow who who fights with her tongue and takes no prisoners. Would this have been possible without Barrowfield? That’s not for me to say so I asked the man himself.

May 27, 2026 The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 13 With Mikey Motion - My Love Has Got No Money, He’s Got His Afro Dreams.
We’ve all had a smoked sausage but not all of us have actually smoked a sausage. No I’m not talking about putting a sausage in a smoker I’m talking about actually smoking a sausage…like a hamlet or perhaps a cigarillo.
I bet nine of you invite your scheme down to the shops to admire your new clobber either. No judgement, why would you?
I know a gout who does though. He can also dance with 100% commitment wearing many Berghaus jackets without breaking a sweat, how does he do it?..I couldny tell you. Some questions are best left unanswered but what I can tell you is that there is only one Sausage King!
This is the Brassneck Podcast!

May 20, 2026 The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 12 With Mark Coffey - Never a Dill Day.
We’ve all heard someone saying “There’s nothing worse than people not putting their weights back when they’re finished with them” but those people clearly haven’t been threatened with a gun halfway through a shoulder workout but my next guest has!
He has also been berated for wandering along the motorway looking for a urinal but no guns were involved in that encounter just harsh words…
Fresh from his trip to London coaching the latest WWE Tryouts we discuss the glory days of Scottish Pro Wrestling, how to get banned from multiple tour bus companies and what makes the perfect pizza (in our opinions).
As if that wasn’t enough we even throw in a bit of ASMR for good measure…pickle style!

May 13, 2026 The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 11 With Brains McLoud - Toast, Beans and Hip Hop Dreams.
“California, New York, Chicago…Dundee. One of those places jumps out from the list right?
A white rapper?…”Thats unusual” A white rapper from Dundee?… “Security remove this Jock from my big fancy London office immediately!”
I’m paraphrasing of course but it’s not a million miles away from what actually happened to my next guest .Being laughed at during a life changing audition could understandably crush any ambition you once had but what if you used that as fuel to drive you to your dream location?
A turbulent drive through I’ll Show You Street, up past I Canny Wait To See Your Face Avenue, a wee pit stop in Fake Accent Lane then full steam ahead to Fuck You City where you will inevitably run for Mayor.
In a city known for its marmalade he chose to make jams…or is it Jelly?
No wonder James McAvoy chose this story to make his directorial debut!

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 10 With Grado - 50 Shades of Grado.
In a world of Giants, Rattlesnakes, Heartbreak Kids and Dead Men it’s not easy to become a star but my next guest chose to do something that most people wouldn’t dare to do…he chose to be himself.
When most people chose to be cool or mysterious or wild or dangerous he chose to be real and it’s a decision that would catapult him beyond pro wrestling and into the mainstream.
We have known and worked with each other for a long time and if I had to write a sitcom using real quotes from real situations that he has actually been in commissioners would think I’d lost the plot! Im Jack Jester and he’s my pal, my colleague and one massive pain in my arse!
Fae the Tap End a Stevenson… GRADO!
