A Scottish Podcast About Scotland!

Happy Burns Night readers!
 
Chris and Rory (no Jonny this week) are back for another sporadic episode of your favourite no-nonsense podcast.

This week we discuss the perfect Burns Supper music, food, drinks and guests.

Don something tartan, get the haggis, neeps and tatties on the go and pour yourself something delicious as you sit down to dinner with the TDN lads. 

Love, hugs and kisses to you all!

A Scottish Podcast About Scotland!

We're back for a one off Christmas Special!

The allure of the new Hallmarkesque movie Christmas in Scotland was too much to keep us away.

We missed you dear readers, so I hope you heat up the mince pies,  brew up some hot chocolate with whipped cream, and coorie in with the Thistle Do Nicely Lads for some Christmas fun.

A Scottish Podcast About Scotland!

Hello folks! We are very sorry about the past few weeks, it's been a bit hectic here in TDN land, but we were finally able to meet and record the fabled episode 100.

Don't get too excited, it's a bit of a rambly shambles, but it has new songs, a quiz, Scottish news and a lot of navel gazing.

We edge ourselves, each other, but most of all we edge the readers!

Thank you all for going on this journey with us, we truly did not deserve our readers.

Love, hugs and kisses to you all!

Finally we get round to talking about the greatest drink on the planet. Scotland's best export!
Unfortunately, seeing as we don't like to make it easy for ourselves we decided to do an A-Z of whisky....

So pop a cork, get some water on the side and settle in with a Mountain Dew chaser as you listen to this week's episode of Thistle Do Nicely.

It's part two of our consideration of Bonnie Prince Charlie and his legacy of a Scottish legend or an Italian coward.

We try to figure out if he was the plucky underdog who came home to fight the English or a spoilt brat who's hubris  caused the deaths of many impressionable Scots.

 We said we'd never talk about it. Turns out we lied.
