In this week's episode I'm joined by my old podcast partner in crime, ESCT coach, and Football Journals Podcast host Lee Stewart. As some of you may already know Lee has started his own podcast (The Football Journals) and he's been absolutely killing it. Lee is also now an assistant manager down at Elgin Sports Community Trust.

We got to talking for a couple hours about Football, coaching, podcasting, Lee's time on The North East Corner and the people we spoke to as a duo, Football Manager, Lee's future ambitions, and in a tribute to The Football Journals Lee's gives me his all time favourite XI of football players!

Honestly Lee is one of my best friends as well as being a guest for this episode. So proud of what he's doing and surpassing me in podcast popularity hahaha! The padawan has well and truly became the master. Enjoyed the chat and can't wait to see what next he's got in store next!

So first time I've done this in quite some time. Having a guest on solo, was quite nervous to get back into this type of format, but that said it was an absolute pleasure to be joined by Moray Liberal Democrat leader Neil Alexander for today's episode.

Not only is Neil an upcoming candidate for one of the moray constituencies at this year's election, but he's also a video game designer, rugby player, mental health advocate just to name a few of his roles and accolades. We got to talking about the biggest election year in human history, what needs to change in the current mental health strategy, Scotland's sporting success of late and of course would not be a podcast where we don't get some Football Manager talk in! Pleasure to get to speak Neil, and look forward of chatting again in the lead up to this year's election!

Back after a few weeks break again. In episode 107 we had the pleasure of speaking to local, decorated, amateur Boxer Corey Rizza. What is sparring like for the first time? Amateur Boxing tournaments being so fast paced. Styles make fights, and beating England's number one in Corey's weight class. Other martial arts can help in Boxing? Along with a range of other things we got to talking about. Corey is one of many who are absolutely smashing it for the present and future of Moray's combat sports scene! Pleasure to have him on!

We're back after some awful weather recently stopping us getting an episode out. In episode 106, we're joined by MacMoray festival owner and head of YBD music Andy MacDonald. This was one of the best episodes ever to record, an hour felt like five minutes! The hour was full of laughs and unbelievable stories.

Of course we primarily talked about the upcoming festivals for 2024, but we also get into 1p chicken wings & chips, the origins of YBD music, and what MacMoray promo video landed Andy in hot water with Atomic Kitten? Plus we ask Andy the questions listeners sent in to ask him.

Was awesome getting the chance to chat to Andy. His stories on how situations always escalate for him in different fields are quite frankly brilliant! Incredibly good dude as well that's doing unreal things for the local area as well! Long may it continue!

We're back with video episodes for 2024 finally! What a way to start off the run we plan on going on with none other than local radio legend Grace Nicoll! An absolute pleasure, and quite frankly surreal to have Grace in for a chat with listening to her on MFR for years!

We got to talking about Grace's journey into broadcasting, her and Dan's MFR era, her appearances on BBC the social just to name a few of the things we got to chatting about for the hour and a half we had. Cannot thank Grace enough for the time and taking the journey from Inverness to be in person for the podcast. Last thing, lets get Grace a gig covering MacMoray, get voting in the poll we have on Spotify. Perfect timing as well, considering next week's guest as well!

So, the day has finally come. The North East Corner is back on YouTube...we'll see how long that lasts. We couldn't have picked a better guest to make our return, as we're re-joined by Aidan Stephen ahead of his fight this week at Cage Warriors 164 vs Daan Duijs. As we chat about his upcoming fight, title ambitions, and also look forward to Cage Warriors Scotland being on the horizon, whilst still asking the big questions. Such as a story about Aidan and motorbike mistaken identity.

Was an absolute pleasure to have the chance to speak Dr Luke Beardon for this week's episode of the podcast. Luke's been a guest I've been trying to get on since the start of the year, finally made it happen! Luke has authored countless books, is a senior lecturer, researcher, and public speaker all around the topic of Autism. Some things I got to get Luke's thoughts on were the current life expectancy stats for autistic people in the UK, Autism in the Criminal Justice, the difference in how anxiety is experienced, and why the world insists on Autism being "The Problem" rather than the environment.

It's been a long journey, but here it finally is. Episode 100! First time all four of us have been in studio together and what an absolute chaos of a two hour episode. The Paul soundboard gets debuted with the long anticipated allegedly button! We reflect on the road to one hundred with some stats, and a little quiz. We then end off on a new little game show, where we go through our contacts and claim they are in a MFR competition to name thirty one flavours of crisps, you'd be surprised how many fell for it!

In all seriousness, to all who have listened, watched, left feedback thank you very much, it's very much appreciated. When we first started this, I couldn't have imagined we'd have got to one hundred episodes. Been quite the ride and we hope to keep this going as much as possible for the foreseeable future!
