You Call That Radio?

We interupt our scheduled programming to pay tribute to a maverick musician. Chris made me laugh so much I had to leave tents because I was in pain. A friend, a genius , a visionary . Festival season will never be the same again. Sending love to all his friends, fans and family. He will be very much missed. R.I.P Captain Hotknives .

Nobody knows what ScotlandBYPrestige even does. Not even himself. But I like guests like that. What I can say is he knows a lot of facts about Scottish histroy and even more about medicinal cannabis. So if you like either or both then this one is for you. We discuss the hidden gems of Scotland, The spanish civil war, Ravenscraig, John F Kennedy,  anti-fascist history, his bong collection, living on a farm, his overnight success from 30 followers to 80,000 followers, how he makes such engaging short form videos, writing a novel, the Hazy Sundays, the Glasgow music scene, Justin Beiber, drug laws, sailing ot Orkney and much, much more.
