Edinburgh Man #213
Too much coffeeeeeee!!!! I seem to be speaking at a bazillion miles an hour tonight in the first podcast for a few months. The reason? I may have partaken in a late afternoon single-origin double-espresso. Oh dear. Well …

Edinburgh Man #212
Ah, the calm before the storm. I spent lunchtime working today in Princes Street Gardens before the craziness of the Edinburgh Festival starts tomorrow. Is it always this insane? I think it's stepped up a notch this …
Edinburgh Man #211
Oh hello podcast listeners! Apologies that it's being so long since the last show. Blah, blah work, blah blah chronic pain... Anyway, podcast 211 is here now, so let's not say any more about it. That picture there is a …
Edinburgh Man #210
What does that tin sign say that you can buy in every tourist trap place in the world..? "Do stupid things faster and with more energy"? I think that's what's happened here. I've foolishly increased my caffeine intake …
Edinburgh Man #209
Here's a tip for any would-be professional podcasters - if you make a playlist more than three weeks ago it's always a good idea to listen to it again before you record the show - just in case you've gone off any of the …
Edinburgh Man #208
Today I bunked off work in the afternoon and went to the degree show at ECA. I moaned during the podcast that it wasn't as good as the last couple of years... but as I think about it now I reckon I was a bit unfair. …
Edinburgh Man #207
The podcast returns after a short vacation to New York City! Today's rambling tales cover such subject matter as lactose intolerant sickness and the playgrounds of NYC. Also, many apologies if you attempted to listen to …
Edinburgh Man #206
Ahem. Look, in my defence I did say that the last podcast was going to be the last REGULARLY SCHEDULED podcast for a while. And it is, what? 9 or 10 days since the last one? So that's irregular. Otherwise this is …
Edinburgh Man #205
So this year I went off to Record Store Day with the express intention of buying one record at the most. It's not because of some fashionable stand against the concept, more just a lack of enthusiasm for the whole …
Edinburgh Man #204
Let's make this quick. I'm under the weather AGAIN! How many illnesses must Edinburgh Man Junior bring into this house before my immunse system shutsdown completely. My throat is sore again this week so it's very much a …
Edinburgh Man #203
So last night I went to see Tigercats, Plastic Animals, and Fever Dream at Henry's Cellar Bar. It was the first standing up gig I've been at all year! I was going to go out again tonight and see Stanley Brinks and …
Edinburgh Man #202
On tonight's podcast: 1) I use a flimsy looking iPad stand - let's hope it doesn't fall over halfway through with "hilarious" consequences. 2) Edinburgh Man Junior sings random lyrics to "The Farmers in the Dell" loudly …
Edinburgh Man #201
Time for another exciting edition of the Edinburgh Man Podcast! And again, it's not a live show. I've done something to the live server so that it won't stream for more than 5 minutes. I will fix it at some point, but …
Edinburgh Man #200
Oh, hello. Apologies for the lack of podcasts for the last two weeks. For the first week I came down with an unpleasant dose of tonsillitis, so I thought it best to postpone. And this time last week we were off to the …
Edinburgh Man #199
No live podcast tonight I'm afraid. But there is this one... this one was recorded last night. Dr Nic was out last night and Edinburgh Man Junior seemed to be rather soundly asleep, so I thought I'd record the podcast …
Edinburgh Man #198
It's happening. I'm getting addicted to coffee again. Look! I've got a full card of stamps from Artisan Roast so the next one is free! This is how they get you... Earlier on this week the soundtrack to my morning coffee …
Edinburgh Man #197
Hmmm... The podcast is about to start in 5 minutes and it looks like Bandcamp's website is down for maintenance. Not a problem for music but I sort of rely on it for the information about the bands and tracks I play on …
Edinburgh Man #196
Hopefully the torrential rain outside the window at Edinburgh Man towers doesn't get picked up by the microphone on this week's Tuesday night podcast. It's been snowy, cold, sunny (for a short while at least), sleety …
Edinburgh Man #195
The second podcast of the week! I'm not totally convinced I've got this thirty minute podcast thing sorted out - it feels so weird. It's also a bit strange because it's the second podcast using my DIY standing …
Edinburgh Man #194
Ahahahah. I'm already regretting this two podcasts a week lark and I haven't even started the first one. Hopefully you didn't listen live, and instead went to see Deerhoof in Glasgow. In a spectacular babysitting fail …
Edinburgh Man #193
Back when I started this podcast I made it 30 minutes long. Partially because I had no idea what I was doing, but mostly because I thought that 30 minutes was a good length of time for a new music podcast. Over the …
Edinburgh Man #192
What a day. Today was the day I tried (and loved using) a standing desk. I know, I'm about two years too late to this fad, but now, as I sit (SIT!) at my normally podcasting console I wish I had a standing desk for that …
Edinburgh Man #191
It's the first rambling podcast of the year... and I'm not ready for it. Firstly I couldn't even find the cables that would allow me to broadcast live. And secondly I had at least four, maybe five, abortive attempts at …
Best of 2014 Part 2
It's the end of year podcast - the last one of 2014. As such I'm tucking into an array of left over Christmas food and drink, including a nice red ale and the remnants of a cheese selection. All the good cheeses have …
