Edinburgh Man #79
Bah. It's too cold for this sort of thing. Why did I think it was a good idea to move the podcasting station near the window? Winter has hit, it's windy as all hell out there, and I'm a bit chilly as I do podcast 79. …

Edinburgh Man #78
Oh dear, oh dear. On tonight's live podcast I manage to accidentally insult a very nice twittering listener, and the resulting tweets almost throw me off my stride (such that it is). Thank goodness for the healthy …
Edinburgh Man #77
We're back on Thursday nights! A bit later than normal, but here nonetheless. I did think that this show might end up being quite a bit shorter than normal, because most of the tracks are only a couple of minutes …
Edinburgh Man #76
It's the last podcast on a Tuesday night... and in keeping with the wonderful planning and renowned consistency of the podcast, it's on a Wednesday. After this week night classes are over, and Thursday nights become …
Edinburgh Man #75
The best laid plans and all that. Since moving to Tuesday nights, the podcast has rarely started at the same time. Tonight I sat down to record the podcast at the slightly later time of 9.15pm and we're still sticking …
Edinburgh Man #74
I went to one gig in the last week. Which doesn't seem too bad on account of the fact I'm playing my gig-going by ear at the moment, however it feels like there have been decent gigs on pretty much every night for the …
Edinburgh Man #73
I'm a little bit confused at the start of this week's show. This is because my voice seems to be coming back to me through my headphones delayed by a quarter of second. Freaky. Today's show has a bit of the old John …
Edinburgh Man #72
Disaster. There is only one red bush tea bag left. In fact, by the end of the show there were none. Somehow I managed to struggle on through the show, despite the voice getting a bit croaky at times. I'm also a bit more …
Edinburgh Man #71
Technology conspired against me for today's live podcast. It was supposed to be at 8pm, but there were network issues which meant the broadcasting software didn't play ball. After an hour or so of fiddling it was …
Edinburgh Man #70
The podcast has moved! From a Thursday night to a Tuesday night. If you listen to the podcast via the wonders of iTunes, or on the website, then this will make very little difference. However if you listen to the …
Edinburgh Man #69
Many apologies. I've had a bit of a persistant cough for the last week, so I'm a bit croaky on the podcast tonight. A bit less chat than normal, and some more music. I think I only coughed into the microphone once. So …
Edinburgh Man #68
After a week on holiday the podcast returns with a vengeance. Sort of. Last week I was in New York, mostly just chilling out and buying some vinyl. I somehow managed to squeeze a whole load of albums into my case …
Edinburgh Man #67
Everything is back to normal with a truly ramshackle podcast! The craziness of the Edinburgh Festival is behind us for another year, and the podcast returns to it's normal shambolic self. On the plus side, I checked the …
Edinburgh Man - Retreat! Festival Special
It's a Retreat! Festival special episode of the podcast! Last weekend, at Pilrig St. Paul's at the boundary of Leith and Edinburgh, Tracer Trails presented a two day festival to celebrate the music scene in Edinburgh …
Edinburgh Man and Gordon at the Fringe 2011 – Episode 4
With Kurt Braunohler It's the last weekend of the Edinburgh Fringe 2011. Thankfully. I'm not sure how much longer I could have kept going. This week I've been to shows on all but one of the days. Gordon is back, and …
Edinburgh Man at the Fringe 2011 - Episode 3
With Josie Long and Shambles Miller Another podcast from the Edinburgh Fringe! We're more than halfway through, but the fringe is really taking it's toll. So much so that we're one presenter down! Gordon has done a …
Edinburgh Man and Gordon at the Fringe 2011 - Episode 2
With David MacGregor from Kid Canaveral One week into the fringe and the festival is starting to hit its stride. Gordon, of course, still hasn't been to any shows. But no matter, I went to five in one day yesterday, and …
Edinburgh Man and Gordon at the Fringe 2011 - Episode 1
It's the Edinburgh Festival Fringe all over again! Already! It really doesn't seem like 12 months ago that we stood in the Pleasance Courtyard, waiting in the queue for comedy show after comedy show, trying to keep out …
Edinburgh Man #66
The last proper podcast for some time... The city is about to get crazy. Purple cows are being inflated, dusty cellars are being converted into overheating stand-up comedy venues, and the population of the city is …
Edinburgh Man #65
A bit more laid back than the craziness of last week’s podcast, hopefully. Although to be honest, part of me is still buzzing from this weekend’s great free in-store gig at Avalanche Records by Kid Canaveral …
Edinburgh Man #64
It’s a podcast that almost didn’t happen. For some outragous reason… oh wait, I remember it’s because I’m busy at work at the moment… I’ve been getting up early the last few …
Edinburgh Man #63
In a rather unlikely turn of events summer seems to have arrived in Edinburgh this week. If you’re not from around these parts, what this means is that it’s sunny… slightly warmer than normal… …
Edinburgh Man #62
Hold on to your iPod ear-buds, it’s an hour long special of the podcast! It’s actually only special in that it’s an hour long, otherwise it’s pretty much the same as normal. Basically my list of …
Edinburgh Man #61
Two days early! It’s an extra-special, croaky-voiced, Tuesday-night podcast! This week I seem to have got an action packed social calendar which goes gig, gig, wedding, gig. It all means that I’m out for the …
