#283 - Waxahatchee, Just Because

Good News! I've recovered from the flu. It was rather short lived but pretty grim for a few days. Bad News! It's the half-term school holidays! So this week has been full-on. Although Edinburgh Man Junior has developed …

#282 - Flu II

If you listen to this podcast on a regular basis you'd be forgiven for thinking that I'm a very sickly person. Hmmm... Maybe I actually am? I'm sure I only just got over a horrible flu virus and now I feel like I'm …

#281 - Plundering the Archives

Laziness returns this week on the podcast after the craziness of last week's five shows in five days. Would you belive that the podcast has been going for eight years this month? I mean, it's not really been …

#279 - Repetition, Repetition, Repetition

Gutted by the death yesterday of Mark E. Smith, front man of The Fall. I mean, I named the podcast after their classic song. For the longest time I was upset that the Google search result for "Edinburgh Man" returned …

#278 - Podcast Exhaustion

I have let you down. I have fallen at the first (or the third) hurdle. I know that I promised you five live podcasts over five days, but I'm already suffering from podcast exhaustion and have basically broken myself. I …

#277 - Christmas Chocolate Regret

My voice is still holding up for the second podcast of the week. But I have all the regret after eating a whole bag of chocolate coins left over from Christmas. Urgh. In tonight so I also attempt to to use Facebook Live …

#276 - To Be A Master

Apologies for the unexpected hiatus. Christmas + kids off school + kids ill + adults ill = slacker Edinburgh Man. I'll make it up to you though. Five podcasts this week. Five. And each of those five will have five tracks …

#275 - Festivish

A festive (ish) Christmas Eve podcast. It was supposed to be a festive (ish) Christmas Eve's Eve podcast, but since it's the holidays the washer / dryer broken down last night. Instead of recording the show I was taking …

#274 - Max Strength

I was going to say that I forgot what it was like having a child at nursery, bringing every possible illness and infection back to the home. But I never forgot. I just blanked it out. So, today, I'm choked with the cold …

#272 - The Big TV

Seeing as how many of my old computers and games consoles don't work too well with modern TVs I was excited to see a 22 inch Sony Trinitron going for free on Facebook. Went around to collect it and it turned out that it …

#271 - White Noise

YAMMP. Yet Another Monday Morning Podcast. This time, Thing 2 sleeps in the other room with the white noise generator (so that's the hiss in the background if you can hear it). Your erstwhile host is nursing a headache …

#270 - Tapes and Tapes

Another Monday morning podcast. Don't get to used to this - you know what happens when the Edinburgh Man Podcast starts to follow a schedule. Thing 2 is down for a nap so just enough time to record and podcast before …

#268 - Dusty Sours

The other week Dr Nic went out for the evening while I stayed at home looking after (sleeping) children. Scouring the house for booze I found this dusty bottle of Cointreau lurking at the back of the cupboard. Turns out …

#267 - Getting Worse

Hey there podcast listeners. Apologies for today's podcast. I recorded it last night but wasn't happy with it so needed to do a wee bit of editing. It's still below par (the music isn't, just my bits). I've been …

#266 - Butt Dial

That's my phone in the photo accompanying tonight's podcast. Or rather that's my two phones... The large Samsung one took a dive into the toilet at the IKEA babychange room at the weekend, so it's currently drying out. …

#265 - Pizza and Ice Cream

In which I called Dog Park Dissidents Dog Park Descendents. Because, stupidity. Incredibly we managed to survive a trip to Italy with Edinburgh Man Junior and Thing 2. But only just. First of all it was hot. Both kids …

#264 - Twin Sticks

I realise it seems like, both by the photo accompanying this post and by the words that come out of my mouth during the first podcast in a few weeks, that the lack of recent episodes are the result of me spending all my …

#263 - Illego

A podcast! Wait, is this thing still on? Why hasn't there been a podcast for the last 2 weeks? Well, aside from playing with Lego I was ill, and then my computer was ill. But both are fit and well (more or less) this …

#262 - Edinburgh Man Zoo

No podcast last week on account of a throat infection, but everything is all sorted this week and we're back with an eclectic mix of great music. Today itself was a very tiring day with Edinburgh Man Junior, who was off …

#260 - Beach Holiday

Oh, my. We're almost at the end of the two week Easter school holiday. Just as well, because I'm all but broken. Today was a full on Edinburgh Man and Edinburgh Man Junior day. No doubt as a result of the ice cream I …
