An indie music podcast. Made in Edinburgh in Scotland, but with podsafe music from all over the world. Will our host make it through to the end without making any mistakes? It's unlikely, but the only way to find out is to listen.

#306 - Constitutional
I've managed to put my back out, crouching down and rummaging in boxes in the small storage space in the loft. Normally I record the podcast kneeling on the floor of a cupboard, but I decided that probably wasn't the best thing for my back. So I went out for a morning constitutional and recorded...
-
#305 - Lick of Paint
Surprise! It's a new Edinburgh Man Podcast. The last year has been rather crazy at Edinburgh Man Towers. We had the attic converted, which involved a lot of banging, drilling and sawing. None of this is especially conducive to recording audio. Then today, I finally had some free time and relative...
-
#304 - Variability
Apologies for the somewhat variable release schedule for the podcast. January has been pretty busy, and unfortunately that busyness spilled over into February and the school holidays. But today, at long last, I have a few hours to myself to record a podcast and play the playlist that has been...

Edinburgh Man Best of 2023
It's Hogmanay! The detritus of Christmas surrounds us. The last few crackers are left unpulled, a few lonely boxes of chocolates are still to be eaten, and we soon must deal with the looming bells of the New Year. All of which means that it is time for the Edinburgh Man end of year show 2023! The...

#303 - Christmas Retreat
I'm hiding away as I record this week's show - ostensibly the Christmas episode of the podcast. I've gone and left it too late and I now need to record the episode on the Saturday before Christmas, i.e. the first day the kids are off school. They are already at each other's throats and starting…

#302 - Low Winter Sun
Aye, the nights are fair drawing in up here in Edinburgh - sunset is something crazy like half past three in the afternoon. The photo accompanying today's show was taken while me and Thing 2 walked home from school today. Regular listeners will no doubt remember than Friday is a half day for the...
-
#301 - Whonivirus
Urgh, I have a cold. That's the excuse I'm going for as to why the show has been delayed for a week or two. It's absolutely not because I was spending all my free time catching up on three seasons of Doctor Who before the 60th anniversery specials started. No it's not that at all. On today's…

#300 - Three Hundred
It's the three hundredth podcast! Except it's not, because I've always been fast and loose with the numbering. It's probably more like number 350, but let's pretend for a moment and bask in having reached this numeric milestone. In keeping with previous significant numbered episodes, very little...
-
#299 - Freshly Ground
I was showing my work colleague some new photo management software I've been using, and I shared an album with him. "Why would someone have so many photos of coffee?" I mean, it's probably a legitimate question. But my feeling is - why not? I'm sure about 50% of the images that I use for this...
-
#298 - Floored
Apologies for the lack of podcast last week. The all new Edinburgh Man Towers is still, very slowly, being decorated and upgraded since we moved in over a year ago. Last week it was the turn of the Dining Room / Office / Music Listening Room to be rewired. The biggest room in the house, and room...
-
#297 - Eye Line
One of the most important things when it comes to making a podcast is planning. Planning. Not something that this show has much of. But not this time, this time the show was actually planned. Anticipating the fact that this week was the Edinburgh schools October holidays, your erstwhile host...
-
#296 - Cupboard Cast
Back in the cupboard for today's podcast. It's still a wee bit cramped in here, but the acoustics are hopefully better. Let me know if it sounds good, bad or indifferent. You can get in touch with the show on social media via Mastodon (it's pretty much only Mastodon now) at...
-
#295 - Demolition Man
It's been a bit of a week at Edinburgh Man Towers. The kids were off school for three of their four and a half days last week due to a strike, which was as hectic as you would imagine. Then, the fifteen-year-old fridge freezer decided to slowly fail. The result of this meant some unplanned...
-
#294 - Jab In The Arm
An unexpected COVID jag this week has thrown the already shambolic podcast schedule into a state of flux. My Fitbit tells me I was a bit under the weather for the two days afterwards. Although to be honest, I'm not sure I needed a watch to tell me that. As a result the podcast is a couple of days...
-
#293 - Hard Landscaping
After an impromptu week off, the podcast returns. Obviously it wasn't really a week off for your earstwhile host. Life reared its ugly head and prevented the recording of a show. But we return this week, refreshed (sort of) and with loads of great new music. I'm also in a bit of pain this week.…
more -
#292 - Pocket Cast
Apologies for being a bit later than normal. I went and ordered myself an Analogue Pocket portable games console a while ago. Like eight or nine months ago. It's a hardware clone of the Gameboy and Gameboy Advance, with a whole loads of bells and whistles to boot. Anyway, to my surprise it…
more -
#291 - Enter The Dragon
Last week I said that there probably wasn't going to be a show this week, and here we are. In the end I found six great tracks (mostly from recent releases) and I wanted to record and upload the show as quickly as I could! With hindsight, I should have waited at least an hour, because during most...
-
#290 - August Blend
As regular listeners may remember, I've been cataloguing and archiving old episodes of the show. Making old episodes available again in the feed, and uploading shows and shownotes to archive.org. As I've been cutting and pasting things like tracklists and band links, I've noticed so many tracks...
-
#289 - Windy Glampers
Right. Okay. A second attempt at recording this podcast! This week we've been on our summer holidays. The first few days were spent "glamping" near Glenshee. The next week or so was spent in a static caravan just north of Inverness. I first recorded this podcast while at the glamping site and...
-
#288 - Deck Building
My plan for today was to build a deck. Not like a Pokemon deck, or a MTG deck, but a wooden construction out in the back garden for sitting on and enjoying the... weather? Unfortunately the Edinburgh Fringe must be starting soon because it's wet. Very wet. Chucking it down with rain. So I've…
more -
#287 - Wet Tent
The school holidays in Scotland are still dragging on - we're about two thirds of the way through now I reckon. I'm not going to check in case I'm wrong. Let's just say (hope) that we are nearer the end than the start and leave it at that. The kids, in their child-like innocence, expressed a…
more -
#286 - Bird Watching
I'm almost getting the hang of this podcast lark. Although I do get distracted looking out of the window at some baby birds for a chunk of this show. Most of the last week, at least in terms podcast stuff, has been spent pulling old episodes out of the archive and uploading them to the feed. At…
more -
#285 - RSS Discovery
The school summer holidays continue in Scotland, and last week we took a trip up to Dundee to take the kids to see the Discovery. I forgot how cool it is to walk around on a ship that’s been to the Antarctic, and the kids had fun too, aside from the somewhat tiring 90 minute train journey and...
-
#284 - Talking Tapes
A proper podcast! It's been a while. This time I figured out (or at least I think I figured out) how to do it live. However, what I couldn't do was figured out how to 1) promote the show or 2) receive messages during the show. So, I've no idea if anyone listened, although to be honest, that's…

Advent Calendar 2018 #24
Christmas Eve! We have survived 24 days of 24 podcasts. Now all that remains is to survive the Christmas holidays. This final show of 2018 also doubles up as my best of the year. My 10 favourite tracks played (or maybe not played) on the show throughout 2018. Thanks for listening and thanks for...
-
Advent Calendar 2018 #23
We delve back into the archives for today's show. Exactly 8 years ago on the 23rd of December 2010 it was the first part of the very first Edinburgh Man best of the year show. Unfortunately I didn't really keep very good records back then, so I've had to actually download and listen to (bits of)...
-
Advent Calendar 2018 #22
Someone once told me that in the run up to Christmas kids get crazy. Oh boy. Today is only the first day in the Christmas holidays and they've been absolutely bonkers. I'm not sure that I can cope with another two weeks of this! Richard Andrews - "The Golden Fascination" (Played courtesy of…

Advent Calendar 2018 #21
I record this podcast with the dulcet tones of Thing 2 who is not even attempting to go to sleep and instead is making up words to "The Wheels on the Bus". I suppose it makes a change from Jingle Bells. Thankfully. Music-wise, it's all tracks from Milanese artists or record labels. During the...
-
Advent Calendar 2018 #20
Christmas really is coming now. Only a handful of days left to go, but somehow there is still more great music from 2018 yet to play. On tonight's show, two tracks from two great albums released this month by podcast favourites The Planes and Townhouse Woods. A track from earlier this year by...
-
Advent Calendar 2018 #19
It's the 19th Advent Calendar show. Oh my, that means we are in the twenties tomorrow. The home straight. Unfortunately I'm recording today's show on my MacBook with the built-in microphone. As a result the sound quality may be a bit gammy. Apologies for this. Hopefully the music will make up for...
-
Advent Calendar 2018 #18
In which I delve into the cupboard in the hall, pull out a dusty bottle of nine and a half year old homebrew white port and sample it "live". ballboy - "Merry Christmas to the Drunks, Merry Christmas to the Lovers" (Played courtesy of Ballboy) Cloudkicker - "Not to Scale or Painted" (Played...
-
Advent Calendar 2018 #17
I'm feeling pretty sorry for myself today. Not enough food or too much coffee. Either way I've got a blazing headache, but I still manage to stumble through the Edinburgh Man archives to play some tracks from "on this day in history". Specifically, on this day in 2015. Some tracks played on, or...
-
Advent Calendar 2018 #16
Warning. I have consumed beer. And wine. Just two glasses of each. But to be honest that's probably double my limit nowadays. Getting old, eh? Molly Lewis - "Pantsuit Sasquatch" (Played courtesy of Molly Lewis, Released under a Creative Commons licence) Speedy Ortiz - "DTMFA" (Played courtesy of...
-
Advent Calendar 2018 #15
It's the 15th Advent Calendar Podcast! We're well into the second half now. My goodness, we might actually pull this off. Right, I decided to delve into the Edinburgh Man archives for much of this episode. Specifically I looked back to find any other shows that occurred on the 15th of December.…
more -
Advent Calendar 2018 #14
Hmmm... The 14th Advent Podcast. And the second of three that I recorded in a single day. Unfortunately, I forgot to write this little description until after I'd recorded the subsequent show. So I'm not entirely sure what happened. It's all mostly a blur, to be honest. I'm sure it was great.…

Advent Calendar 2018 #13
When I started doing these daily advent calendar podcasts I had a couple of days in hand. That's been whittled away now and I'm recording these on the day they are release. Right, we need to sort that. Today I'm going to record three podcasts! One for today and one for each of the next two days....
-
Advent Calendar 2018 #12
Ow, ow, ow. Long term listeners may remember that I've had problems with my back in the past. Well today I spent 3 hours waiting on the most uncomfortable seat imaginable while new tyres were get fitted to the car. Basically, as I result I am broken. In pain. And a bit cranky for the 12th Advent...
-
Advent Calendar 2018 #11
Oh dear. I think these back-to-back podcasts are starting to take their toll... and we aren't quite halfway through yet. I've a blazing headache today, but at least there is some great music from Swearin', The Map Dept. and more. Swearin' - "Grow into a Ghost" (Played courtesy of Swearin…

Advent Calendar 2018 #10
An unplanned day at home. With Edinburgh Man Junior vomiting yesterday he's not allowed back to school for 48 hours. So that means he and I are cooped up in the house today. Perfect opportunity for him to get in some video gaming and for me to knock out today's advent calendar podcast! Ana Threat…
more -
Advent Calendar 2018 #9
Apologies for the delay with today's show. I bet you thought I'd flaked out on you. Well, almost but not quite. Unfortunately we were woken early this morning by the sound of a sick child, and the day was thrown into disarray somewhat. So I've just got around to recording the show now... at 7.30…
more -
Advent Calendar 2018 #8
Urgh. An early morning podcast for Day 8. Normally on Saturday's the kids have swimming lessons at the "commie" pool at 8am! But today there is a competition on so no lessons. Foolishly I thought this would mean a lie in. But no. Everyone is up at 6.30am and I'm recording a podcast one hour…
more -
Advent Calendar 2018 #7
Oh dear. Yesterday I think I consumed way too much coffee and this has given me a dodgy stomach. Of course, I didn't stop drinking coffee today, so I'm hardly firing on all cylinders. But I power through it to get out Day 7 in the Advent Calendar. ATSEA - "Be Found" (Played courtesy of ATSEA,...
-
Advent Calendar 2018 #6
Yes. These podcasts are still going. It's the 6th of December and... Surprise, surprise... Day 6 of the Edinburgh Man Advent Calendar! Rambling chat and an eclectic collection of music. Only 18 to go! Home Economics - "Idiots" (Played courtesy of Double A-Side Records) Unsanitary Napkin…
more -
Advent Calendar 2018 #5
I have found the proper microphone! HOORAY! Hopefully the show should sound ever so slightly better produced. Although to be honest I've never really felt properly happy with this microphone either. You'd think that after having done this for so long I'd have got around to getting a better...
-
Advent Calendar 2018 #4
Urgh. So basically for the 4th day behind the Edinburgh Man Advent Calendar door I moan about getting old. You know, all the usual stuff about not being able to see properly, my hearing going, and not getting young people's jokes. Pelts - "Another Place" (Played courtesy of Iffy Folk Records)…
more -
Advent Calendar 2018 #3
Guess what? More podcastings. Turns out that if you don't do a show for 10 months the amount of interesting music backs up somewhat and you can just rattle them out. Maybe I should do this every year? Wait until the end of the year and just record all the podcasts in a single month. "Wait", you...
-
Advent Calendar 2018 #2
The second of Edinburgh Man's Advent Calendar for 2018. "Wait? Does this mean you're doing 24 of these? I mean, that's two in as many days." No. No it does not. There will be a MINIMUM of FOUR shows throughout December. Under commit, over deliver. That's my early new year resolution. Dreams on...
-
Advent Calendar 2018 #1
Ahem. It's been a while hasn't it. Welcome to Edinburgh Man's Advent Calendar Number 1! "Will there be any more?" Hopefully. "What? 23 more?" Hmmm. Maybe not. "3 or 4 more?" Maybe. Let see. Nice Try - "Smart" (Played courtesy of Nice Try, Released under a Creative Commons licence) Hey Exit…

#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 an addiction to old Pokemon games on the Gameboy, so that sort of keeps him...
-
#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 coming down with another. And as if to rub it in I've ran out of my "go to"…
