#259 - Elephant!
Oh hello. Here's a picture of an elephant painted to look like a penguin. This is basically just to distracted you from the fact it's been two weeks since the last podcast. Many apologies. But at least this week there …

#258- Double Live
The regular live podcast is taking a couple of weeks break due to work commitments. Basically I'm spending the evenings interviewing people on Skype. I know, it sounds thrilling. I did think about doing it on the …
#257 - Keep On Rolling
Apologies for the quick rambling blog post. Totally shattered for tonight's show. No idea why. Thing 2 slept great last night. I suppose that 7 months of sleep deprivation takes a while to wipe out. Anyway, here's a …
#256 - Early Risers
An earlier than normal podcast this week... Thing 2 woke up this morning at the terrifying time of 4am. Which I suppose is somewhat excusable for a 7-month-old. His brother, Edinburgh Man Junior, woke up an hour later …
#255 - Wonky Mess
Last night's podcast was a rambling shambolic mess, and I was so shattered afterwards that I didn't even have the energy to upload it! So it's a Friday morning update, for which I apologise. Yesterday was "World Book …
#254 - Seven Year Itch
Just a couple of days ago I found myself wondering how long I'd been doing this podcast thing, so I decided to try and figure it out. And would you belive it? The podcast is seven years on this Saturday. Seven years! …
#253 - Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na
Some poor technical planning this week has prevented a live podcast. So instead I'm recording this early on a Saturday morning while I try to recover from a intensive week of school holiday fun with Edinburgh Man …
#252 - Domain
I'm all full of adrenaline and talking 100 miles per hour on today's show. I tried to post a link to the live streaming page on Facebook earlier this evening only to discover that the show's website had been redirected …
#251 - Live Alive
It's the first live podcast in ages! Actually, it's the first podcast in ages... well, in a month. But it feels like a year or two since the last live one. I find myself wondering, did I used to need so many wires to do …
Best of 2016
It's Hogmanay, so that means I've just managed to scrape together the infamous Edinburgh Man best of the year show at the last possible minute. As with last year, the tracks have been chosen by myself. It's not because …
#250 - Super Smash Hits
Edinburgh Man Junior has a new obsession - Super Smash Brothers Melee on the Nintendo GameCube. You see, his dad has worked in video games for quite some time, and as a result has amassed an array of video games …
Edinburgh Man #249
Listeners to last week's show will recall that I recorded it in the car outside Edinburgh Man Junior's school while he was on stage for the first performance of his nativity play. I say first performance, it seems like …
Edinburgh Man #248
I've finally managed to find the time to record a podcast! As I wait in the car outside Edinburgh Man Junior's school while he takes part in his primary school nativity play. I know what you're thinking - surely I …
Edinburgh Man #247
Good morning, and welcome to the weekend! Time for a coffee? I've been finding it increasingly difficult to record a podcast every week. There's something about juggling two small people that seems to take up a bunch of …
Edinburgh Man #246
A late podcast, due to 1) illness and 2) an ill-advised halloween costume building exercise that consumed way too much of my spare time. But there's some great music to return with, include a track from the wonderful …
Edinburgh Man #245
At Edinburgh Man Towers we are currently trying to get used to something that we've never had to experience before - school holidays. Just when we were starting to get used to this crazy new routine, a spanner is thrown …
Edinburgh Man #244
The cover photo has no relevance to this week's podcast whatsoever. It was basically the only photo I've taken in the last week, so it's won out by default. It depicts Edinburgh Man Junior standing in front of a large …
Edinburgh Man #243
Last week I got an email from Steve Palmer - he's just released a great podcast called "Down's With The Kids" which you should check. Steve pointed me at an article in the online version if the I newspaper which listed …
Edinburgh Man #242
Blurg. I'm so sleep deprived today. Dr Nic and I thought we were being sensible by going to bed super early last night. Like 9.30pm or something. But after Thing 2's first nighttime waking at 1.30am I didn't get back to …
Edinburgh Man #241
The fourth show in our exciting week of nonstop podcasts! Tonight's show was originally scheduled for early August, just before the final release from one of my favourite record labels - Soft Power Records. We start …
Edinburgh Man #240
ANOTHER podcast! Also, good news everyone - much more sleep was had last night, especially by myself. In fact, partly because I went to bed early, I had a normal (ish) amount of sleep. This, coupled with the fact that …
Edinburgh Man #239
It only feels like yesterday that I recorded a podcast... how time flies. Today the sleep deprivation really takes over. The effects of Mum and Dad watching the Olympics through the night while feeding Thing 2 during …
Edinburgh Man #238
Oh hello. It's been a while, hasn't it? Guess what, tonight the podcast returns from paternity leave. So basically I'm somewhat sleep deprived and the whole thing is slightly more shambolic than normal. The good news, …
Edinburgh Man #237
I've discovered a problem with recording these shows in advance. Yes, by and large it means that the it's easier to produce a regular show, but I really should write the blog post at the same time as I record it. …
