Edinburgh Man #167
A couple of years ago I used to be addicted to this little puzzle. And when I say addicted I mean I used to play it every day for about 12 months. For some time it’s been hidden away behind a pile of junk, but …

Edinburgh Man #166
It’s the first podcast for a couple of weeks and I’m in a foul mood. We don’t really get to the bottom of this during the podcast - it’s either because of the ongoing rubbish internet at Edinburgh …
Edinburgh Man #165
So the good news is that I’ve dumped the ISP that gave me so much grief when I was doing last week’s live podcast. The bad news is that it doesn’t change over until next week… and I’m not …
Edinburgh Man #164
So for the last 5 days Edinburgh Man Junior has been toilet training. I promise I shall really try not to talk to much about bodily functions. Honest. Anyway, I tell you this in case the normally high-quality audio of …
Edinburgh Man #163
I’m totally utterly jet-lagged. I’ve just got back from a two day work trip to the US. Basically I had almost enough time to adjust to the heat and the timezone before getting back home. And since then …
Edinburgh Man #162
Another podcast, another series of technical cock-ups. This week on the podcast I thought I’d attempt to do a live show, however the new Internet at Edinburgh Man towers is of a lower quality than it used to be, so …
Edinburgh Man #161
That moody photo there is tonight’s atmospheric podcasting station. It feels strange to be starting the podcast when it’s (almost) still light outside. Hooray for daylight saving time. I must apologies yet …
Edinburgh Man #160
Another pre-recorded podcast tonight on account of Edinburgh Man Junior current avant-garde approach to sleeping. In fact it’s the second of two attempts at recording today’s show. First of all I thought it …
Edinburgh Man #159
Would you believe it? Edinburgh Man Junior has gone and brought MORE lurgie into the house. MORE! This shocking turn of events has resulted in yet enough week where your struggling host is fighting back the urge to cough …
Edinburgh Man #158
With hindsight I probably should have taken a picture of that chocolate cheesecake before I polished it off. But to be honest my brain wasn’t planning that far ahead. On that plate there used to be a bazillion …
Edinburgh Man #157
The podcast returns from a short and unexpected break! Many apologies for the lack of show over the last two weeks. Edinburgh Man Junior brought some hideous flu-like lurgie back from nursery. He was ill for about 4 days …
Edinburgh Man #156
If you listened to the podcast last week you will have heard me recounting recent the issues we’ve had at Edinburgh Man Towers with our telephone line being crossed with the line from one of our neighbours. Well, …
Edinburgh Man #155
Contain your excitement. The podcast has returned. I’m sure every year a large proportion of the listeners think (or more likely hope) the podcast won’t come back after the annual January hiatus. No such …
Best of 2013 Part 2
Boxing Day 2013. I have a cold. Not just a regular cold. But one of those really annoying colds that you only ever seem to get at the Christmas holidays. Trouper that I am I've stocked up on drugs, menthol oils, …
Best of 2013 Part 1
Time to crack out the port and cheese. It's the Thursday before Christmas which can only mean that tonight is the first of two shows counting down the top fifty tracks played on the podcast through 2013! As voted by the …
Edinburgh Man #154
It’s the last “proper” podcast of the year! And by that I mean that next week is the first of two shows featuring the results of the always exciting end of year poll. But we’re getting ahead of …
Edinburgh Man #153
Taking a break from the never-ending washing of beer bottles to record tonight’s podcast. I knew there was a reason I stopped making beer. Bottles, bottles and more bottles. It seemed like such I good idea when I …
Edinburgh Man #152
More pre-recorded shenanigans from Edinburgh Man this week. It's been a pretty busy week in terms of gigs for a change. Tuesday was Low, tonight it's Euros Childs, and Friday it MAY be Shellac... If I have any energy …
Edinburgh Man #151
Yet another exciting and professional pre-recorded podcast. With tonight’s guest microphone stand: Michael Barrier’s “Hollywood Cartoons: American Animation in Its Golden Age”. After last …
Edinburgh Man #150
Ramble, ramble, ramble. I’m so sorry. I think I probably need to start doing a bit more preparation for these podcasts. What can I say? Many apologies. In other news you’ll be pleased to know we’re …
Edinburgh Man #149
A proper bedroom podcast for you tonight. It’s Halloween, and we really were going to get into the spirit. Honest. We bought a pumpkin, and bags of sweeties for the neighbourhood guisers (that’s what we call …
Edinburgh Man #148
It’s very special Friday night podcast! Well, perhaps not that special. Apologies for anyone who missed their fix of the podcast yesterday. On Thursday night I went through to Glasgow to see Swearin’ and …
Edinburgh Man #147
Apologies to any live devotees, it’s yet another pre-recorded podcast. Interestingly, this one is recorded cross-legged on the floor in the living room. Well, actually the first half was me kneeling on the floor …
Edinburgh Man #146
Tonight! Just a quick time-out from the nail biting anticipation of finding out which missing episodes of Doctor Who have been found to record a podcast. Actually - I was just sitting on the sofa about ten minutes …
