Edinburgh Man #236
Legs, legs and legs... IKEA legs as far as the eye can see. I've been building desks today. Loads of them. Did you know there are 20 screws per IKEA desk? That seems rather excessive. And why does my phone keep …

Edinburgh Man #235
The podcast returns! Apologies for the absence. First of all, we went away for a long weekend in the middle of June. I probably should have mentioned this because we intentionally hid from the Internet and tried to …
Edinburgh Man #234
A special (ish) audiophile (ish) episode of the podcast! Basically for some anal reason I've recently been re-ripping all my CDs at the best quality bitrate I can (while still maintaining an acceptable size). I've also …
Edinburgh Man #233
I must admit I was a bit disingenuous in this week's podcast - I said I put the playlist together while riding through the rainy streets of Edinburgh on the bus. That's not quite true. I chose most of the tracks a week …
Edinburgh Man #232
Well, as experiments go this one didn't work. Firstly, let me apologise for the lack of podcasts for two weeks. I managed to sprain my neck, which doesn't sound too bad except that it resulted in the worst headache I've …
Edinburgh Man #231
Podcast Number 231, or "Edinburgh Man and Edinburgh Man Junior's Alternative Record Store Day". For yes - Edinburgh Man Junior makes his proper podcasting debut on this week's show. In celebration of Record Store Day …
Edinburgh Man #230
Apologies yet again for a late podcast. I'm addicted to "Meetup" at the moment, and last night - Thursday night - when I normally record the show I ended up at a "digital media" meetup. I thought it would mostly be …
Edinburgh Man #229
I like to try and do podcasts on Thursday nights, but yesterday was a crazy busy day so I wasn't able to put together a playlist in time. Instead I collated the playlist this morning in Brew Lab while enjoying a (free) …
Edinburgh Man #228
Ahh... It was a lovely sunny Good Friday morning as I recorded this week's podcast. Slightly confused chat including me embarrassingly saying that the band "Leggy" were from LA rather than Cincinnati. So many apologies …
Edinburgh Man #227
Well this is confusing. I thought I was being clever on tonight's show - clever and lazy. One of the tracks I intended to play I was just going to stream from the artist's Bandcamp page, but when I went to the page …
Edinburgh Man #226
Remember last week when I said I'd played the last single by The Last Battle? Well, I didn't. It was the second last. Here's the last one on tonight's show, and it's a belter. The single that is, not the show. The show …
Edinburgh Man #225
On the ball as ever. I recorded this podcast earlier on this evening and then totally forgot about it. Here we are, as I'm locking up the house and getting ready for bed I think - "I'm sure there was something else I …
Edinburgh Man #224
A lunchtime recorded podcast this week, and another one featuring Edinburgh Man Junior as the cover star. He's starting to get big enough to actually be useful now. Here he is shuffling snow. As I record this episode, …
Edinburgh Man #223
Aw man. I think this is only the second time in the history of the podcast that I recorded a show and it didn't actually record and I had to record the whole thing again. It was already a technological juggling act …
Edinburgh Man #222
In a change from the usual yearly routine Edinburgh Man is not taking a break for the month of January, although you'd be forgiven for not realising this since there wasn't a show last week. Never mind, we kick the year …
Best of 2015
It's the Edinburgh Man Best of 2015 show! If you listened to the show throughout 2015 you'll know that I had some issues with the regularity of the show in terms of duration, content and release dates. Normally at the …
Edinburgh Man #221
It's almost Christmas... which can only mean one thing. No more Lego Advent Calendar! Hooray. Hopefully this will mean longer sleeps, and it will definitely mean a reduction in the amount of Lego construction that …
Edinburgh Man #220
Isn't this podcast a week late? Yes. Yes it is. You know how I had a cold and sore throat two weeks ago? Well less than 24 hours after getting better I came down with the lurgie all over again! Crazy. As ever I lay the …
Edinburgh Man #219
Blurgh. I'm choked with the cold this week, and my throat feels like someone is poking needles in it. So basically exactly how you want to feel when you're recording a podcast. On today's eclectic show there are three …
Edinburgh Man #218
I'm sorry. I bet you thought you were going to get away without having to suffer a podcast again this week, but unlucky. Here it is. And after the attempted slickness of last time, we're back to the regular "as-live" …
Edinburgh Man #217
Surprise! It's a podcast! Apologies for not producing a podcast for the last couple of weeks. Real work has been somewhat manic, especially on Thursdays, so the weekly rambling music fest has suffered somewhat. No …
Edinburgh Man #216
Well this is a bit strange. I haven't recorded a podcast during the hours of daylight for a while, and certainly not during the actual day. Turns out it's just as shambolic during the afternoon as it is in the evening. …
Edinburgh Man #215
It's school vacation week here in Edinburgh. Which means very little for me since Edinburgh Man Junior is still at nursery, although for everyone else who I work with it means 5 days of child wrangling. So basically I'm …
Edinburgh Man #214
Another hastily prepared podcast. Actually, I quite like doing this on the hoof. I can't believe I used to spend hours finely crafting the show only to incompetently bumble my way though it anyway. I reckon this "as …
