Err, is there anyone here either?...

So here's the thing:

You'll see that we finished up our little podcast in February of this year. It's now closing in on the end of 2014. That's a ferr bit later.

"What's the relevance of that", you ask?

Well I'll tell you, seeing as how you asked. It's just that, even though we've not gone near a microphone for about eight long months, you wacky folk are still downloading the last one we did. Even more weirdly you're also still downloading the other episodes we spewed out into the ether.

I mean, what's wrong with you all?

The reason I'm writing this, therefore, is to test the water and gauge whether it'd be worth resurrecting Glasgow Generations. Anyone up for it? I know Faither is!

So let me know here and via the site, or on my Twitter orFacebook, and if more than one person replies we'll have a think.

In the meantime, if you're missing my dulcit tones you'll be delighted to know that I'm in the middle of recording an audiobook edition of Wee Glesca, my pocket guide to Glasgow that, again pretty weirdly, raced to become the number one best-selling Glasgow travel guide on Amazon. Who'd have thunk it, eh?

So arrabest and (maybe) see y'all again sometime soon!

The Twelfth - "Potatoes"


The Twelfth: "Potatoes".

Coming only 18 months following our last venture into cyberspace, Faither and I bring you our promised episode about football. Well, except it's actually about food. Stealing excerpts from Maw Broon's nutritious cookbook we make stomachs either rumble or turn with talk of pieces and dripping, finnan haddie, rabbit stew, stovies, and even something pretty rude called 'tickling trout'.

We're glad to be back in your ears again so please let us know your own Glasgow food tales and check back soon (or in a few years...) for our next episode. About football?

Return of the beast

Hello again, remember us?

You may remember us from such podcast episodes as Speedway, Rabbits and Muscular.  Classic episodes! Well, for those of you wondering where we've been since August 2012, wonder no more, because we've dusted off the old machinery (otherwise known as "Faither"), applied some WD40, and planned a brand sparkling new episode tomorrow evening.

We promised the last time an episode about football in the old days in Glasgow.  So you'll be pleased to note that in honest fulfilment of that promise, we'll be talking about food.  So get the table set, tuck in your napkin, and settle down for a nourishing meal of nonsensical drivel.

We're back, so check back here in a few days once we've remembered how to upload the thing, and let us know what you think once the episode is ready.
