Glasgow Generations
by Scott Docherty and Charles Docherty
** glasgowgenerations.blogspot.com ** top-ten-glasgow-guide.com ** [email protected] ** A wee light-hearted family podcast run by Scott Docherty and his dad, Charlie Docherty. It’s about growing up and living in Glasgow from the 1940’s and onwards. The end of WWII and the regeneration still taking place; the tenement life with its community, cludgies and dykes; the deprivation; the auld patter, the Auld Firm, the auld trams; the steamie & the Co.; the No Mean City; the beating heart of music; the fashions; the dancin, the winchin and the favourite haunts; and all the little odds and ends that make Glasgow what she is today. Over time you’ll hear plenty of great personal stories and memories, and we welcome as many of your own, in the hope that as Glasgow continues to flourish down the years and finds her place amongst the most magnetic cities on the planet, we’ll have preserved here just a wee bit of her working class roots. It’s a pure stoater byraway! Intro track by T
Episodes
-
The Twelfth - "Potatoes"
The Twelfth: "Potatoes". Coming only 18 months following our last venture into cyberspace, Faither and I bring you our promised episode about football. Well, except it's actually about food. Stealing excerpts from Maw Broon's nutritious cookbook we make stomachs either rumble or turn with talk of...

Untitled Episode
The Eleventh: "Speedway". In our new show recorded surprisingly soon after the last one (we must have been confused and thought another year had passed), Faither sets forth on another aimless trek along the dusty annals of his withering memory. This time it's about entertainment in ol' Glesca,...
-
The Tenth: "Rabbits"
The Tenth: "Rabbits". In this, the tenth instalment of our regular fortnightly podcast, Faither yaps about holidays in and around Glasgow. So as you can imagine, this involves stories about hunting for small change on the beach, skinning rabbits at scout camp, and, of course, saving up all year…

The Ninth: "Muscular"
The Ninth: "Muscular". This one was supposed to be all about Glasgow's unfortunate tag as the "No Mean City", but as expected, we digress into the usual nonsense including the Burns Howf and the Muscular Arms, Maggie Bell and Stone the Crows, playing "jorries" and working out what "gird wi a…

The Eighth: "Dizzy"
The Eighth: "Dizzy". In an embarrassing family meltdown of an episode, Faither takes us through his drunken exploits at the Majestic, the Locarno and various other haunts from ol' Glesca in the 50s and 60s, including what happened when the dance halls closed and everyone staggered into midnight...
-
The Seventh: "Beatstalkers"
The Seventh: "Beatstalkers". So after six episodes bursting with many droning tales of lacklustre 'lore in ye olde Glesca, Faither finally gets into his stride. This one marks the start of no doubt twenty shows about his life in music. We start off here yapping about Radio Luxembourg and the...
-
The Sixth: "C'moangetaff"
The Sixth: "C'moangetaff". Out of the depths of silence and the choppy seas of disinterest, comes our new instalment of rambling Glasgow folklore, proving that after a truly unearned Summer break, we're finally back to work. And this one's all about ra graftin: going to the steamie and making up...
-
The Fifth: "Peas"
The Fifth: "Peas". It's been a while, so to treat you all for waiting so patiently, this time around we've made sure to talk about the usual nonsense. There's a wealth of useless memories about eating mushy peas at the Barras, playing 'stage coaches' in a coalbunker, the magnificent toys you used...
-
The Fourth: "Fleapit"
The Fourth: "Fleapit". Once again we run out of time yapping on about the street games of old in Glasgow. Maybe it's because we diverge into wandering tales of camping in Benderloch and faither's early romantic liasons (ahem...), but at least we manage to cram in some stuff like playing 'P or a…
more -
The Third: "Sugarolly"
The Third: "Sugarolly". This time around it's all about the street games in old Glesca. We hear all about the wee toerags wreaking havoc with the tenement folk tying their doors together with rope, catching hudgies at the BRS depot in Lister Street, being chased by Limpy Dan from the Kennedy…
more -
The Second: "Coal"
The Second: "Coal". This one's all about Christmas and Hogmanay in Glasgow back in the day, and I think you'll soon come to the understanding via Charlie's fading memories about the festive period, that when he was growing up in the City, the real celebration was at the Bells rather than around…
more -
The First: "Rambling"
The First: "Rambling". In this, the first episode of the new Glasgow Generations podcast, you'll hear Scott Docherty talk Glasgow with his dad, Charlie Docherty. You'll hear lots of rambling bits and pieces about the Townhead area Charlie was brought up in, some of the bombs that either exploded…
