Best of 2010 - Part 1
Is 2010 almost over already? If you're a long time (long suffering?) listener to the podcast you'll know that it all began near the start of 2010. During the last year some 150-200 tracks from 2010 have been played so I …

Edinburgh Man #39
It’s not Christmas! I was going to do a festive playlist, but went a bit “bah humbug” and you get this instead. A slightly eclectic selection of music in today’s show. We start off with an old …
Edinburgh Man #38
The snow is still here, and my voice still seems to be croaky, but I’m feeling better! So that’s a bonus. This week I apologise for last weeks podcast. I recorded it in a bit of a rush, I was still a bit …
Edinburgh Man #37
There might be two foot of snow outside, but I'm feeling a bit better than I was in last week's cold medication fuelled show. On today show, there's blues new and old from A Brief View of the Hudson and Son House, a …
Edinburgh Man #36
Just a quickie in the shownotes department... I'm choked with the cold today, and peering at my MacBook screen through bleary eyes. Firstly, I should say a Happy Thanksgiving to all the listeners in the US. And on that …
Edinburgh Man #35
Today I'm trying out a different audio set-up, so this may either sound brilliant, or terrible. Please let me know if it does... especially the latter. Anyway, 5 great tracks this week. Yes, only 5. Not because I talk …
Edinburgh Man #34
So, last week I talked too much and I did you out of a track. So this time I try and talk not quite as much so I can squeeze in the prerequisite six great slices of indie pop. It’s also a busy week gig-wise in …
Edinburgh Man #33
In today’s podcast I swap the alcohol for a cup of tea and things seem to go a bit better. First up we have a great track from the Kid Canaveral album. It’s one of my favourite releases from 2010 and I …
Edinburgh Man #32
I’m hungry, tired, and I have a glass of port in my hand. This can only mean that it’s time for another podcast! Today I’m still in an indie-pop mood after the weekend’s popfest in Edinburgh. …
Edinburgh Man #31 - Edinburgh Popfest Special
It’s a very special show. This coming weekend is the Edinburgh Popfest. A whole bunch of great bands play top quality indie-pop at three different venues over three days. To celebrate this, we have a special …
Edinburgh Man #30
Apologies. Firstly, the flat is being decorated at the moment which means my temporary podcasting set-up wasn’t quite as level as I thought. You may hear some thuds now and again. Secondly, I’m a bit more …
Edinburgh Man #29
Lots of new music in today's podcast, a couple of creative commons tunes, and more importantly two songs by Edinburgh bands! I also hit the beer right at the start of the show, which might account for the fact I'm a bit …
Edinburgh Man #28
Due to a mislaid power supply, we're running on battery power for this podcast. And my headphones almost deafened me just before the show! Not the best of starts for Podcast 28. Music-wise, there's a bit of what I'm …
Edinburgh Man #27
A little experiment today. The Podcast was recorded on Tuesday instead of Thursday due to an unusually high number of interesting gigs in Edinburgh this week. Whether this become a regular feature remains to be seen. I …
Edinburgh Man #26
I think I'm getting back into the swing of this podcast lark after the short summer break. Lots of great music in today's show, including two new tracks by podcast favourites Dressed Like Wolves and entertainment for the …
Edinburgh Man #25
Summer is over and the podcast is back! It felt like ages since I recorded one of these. I suppose it was, since the last three were those crazy outdoor fringe specials. It was a bit strange, but I think I figured out …
Edinburgh Man on the Fringe #3
Featuring Delete the Banjax The third and final podcast from the Edinburgh Fringe. We're back at the Pleasance, although the previous few weeks are begining to take their toll. It's a more of a laid back affair as we …
Edinburgh Man on the Fringe #2
Featuring Dave Hill The second podcast from the Edinburgh Fringe. Gordon and I have moved next to an ice cream van, under the shadow of a giant inflatable purple cow. We talk about more fringe shows and play …
Edinburgh Man on the Fringe #1
Jonny and guest co-host Gordon present the first of three special shows from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe! We struggle with background noise and a wobbly table on a wobbly floor. Every time someone walks by the …
Edinburgh Man #24
It's the second day of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe... and I'm out seeing some shows and soaking up the culture. But that shouldn't stop the podcast. Oh, no. I recorded this last night and the show kicks off with a …
Edinburgh Man #23
On today's show, I rush back home from being at an in-store gig and jump straight into recording a podcast. Edinburgh band My Tiny Robots were playing a gig in Urban Outfitters of all places. But there was free cider, so …
Edinburgh Man #22
Testing, testing. 1. 2. I made a DIY pop filter for my microphone and this podcast is the big test. It's a bit shonky looking, consisting mostly of a pair of old stockings (not mine) and a bit from a homebrew wine …
Edinburgh Man #21
21 already. The Edinburgh Man podcast comes of age. I've just about recovered from the craziness of last weekend. If anyone ever asks you to help organise an international conference, then make sure you get a good amount …
Edinburgh Man #20
I'm recording this during the daytime. In fact it is the morning… well… actually it was the morning. Very quickly it became afternoon in the middle of the first track, but the intention was there. Today there's a bunch …
