With no fixture this weekend thanks to the latest international break, Dundee are entitled to keep basking in the glory of the derby hiding they dished out to United at Tannadice. But as the Dark Blues begin their preparations to face Rangers in just over a week, it's vital that they find a way to replicate the devastating attacking display that destroyed the Tangerines. Lyall Cameron will face his future employers when he takes the field against the Gers, while Simon Murray – booked for his controversial goal celebration against United – will need to keep his nose clean to avoid a damaging suspension. The stakes could scarcely be higher for the Dee. How they handle the pressure is likely to define their season. As Dundee bask, United will look for a way to ensure their first half capitulation against their rivals stays a one-off. Jim Goodwin believes his side are still “in the driving seat” to secure a top six spot, but their lead over Hearts, Motherwell and St Mirren is shrinking. Do United need to get back to basics? How beneficial will time on international duty prove for the nine Tangerines who have joined up with their countries? Host Sean Hamilton is joined by Alan Temple and Graeme Finnan to discuss all of these questions – and more.

Introducing “Who Killed Annalise?” a five-part true crime podcast series from The Courier and DC Thomson. In 2023, Police Scotland claimed they had solved every homicide since 2013. But for the family of Annalise Johnstone, one question remains: Who Killed Annalise? Annalise Johnstone was killed in the shadow of a witch's grave in 2018. Annalise's brother, Jordan Johnstone, and his girlfriend, Angela Newlands, were charged in connection with her brutal killing—but neither was ever convicted. The Courier revisits the cold case of Annalise Johnstone like never before, uncovering new details and speaking with those closest to the investigation: journalists, detectives, and witnesses. The Podcast also features interviews with Annalise's family, which is significant given that one was once a suspect. New episodes of Who Killed Annalise? drop weekly starting February 17, 2025. Listen ad-free and binge the full series now on The Courier app.

We're looking back at some of the collective creative spaces that have existed in Dundee and the reasons why they had to close. We'll also be speaking to David Cook consultant on the West Ward Works project to get an insight into why the development was unable to get off the ground. First we speak to Joanna Helfer who was one of the founding members of Tin Roof Collective. In 2011 they took on part of the old foundry building in the Blackness area of Dundee at a time when affordable studio space was virtually non-existent and the council didn't believe it was possible for artists to thrive outside cities like Glasgow or London. After having over 100 artists through their doors and many exhibitions and gigs in the space, Tin Roof sadly had to move out of the building in June 2016. 71 Brewing were moving in to the downstairs space and building regulations visited giving Tin Roof an ultimatum of finding £100,000 within six weeks to make upgrades or leave the building. Although this was the end of the large collective space Tin Roof does live on in two smaller WASPs spaces and the ceramics workshop in Dundee. We'll also come back to more creative use plans for the Blackness foundry in a later episode. In 2011 Lyall and Donna Holford-Lovell saw the need for a desk based collective space that also acted as an agency bringing in projects for the members to work on. Over time membership grew and Fleet supported the development of the city of culture bid and V&A to Dundee. Over time Lyall stepped down as director to focus on design work and Donna became much more involved in NEoN Digital Arts Festival. There just wasn't the resource to help fill desks, run marketing campaigns or bring in the projects that earned money for the collective. These factors ultimately led to the doors closing on Fleet. Donna went on to run another space in the Vision building and we spoke to Mal Abbas, founder of Biome Collective, who were part of the Vision Building space run by NEoN. He describes it as a great showcase for the creative community in Dundee where visitors to the city were often paraded through like a bit of a creative zoo. The space at Vision was always on a short term deal, if a full paying tenant came along then they would have to vacate. This began on a 6month notice period but as time progressed this shortened to 1 month and led to a lot of uncertainty. This was the trade off for being able to offer affordable space. West Ward Works is the last space we explore in this episode, an absolutely massive old DC Thomson print works over four floors. After it was the venue for Dundee Design Festival in 2016 conversations started to happen around the potential of the space and how it could be transformed into a creative hub for the city. It had real potential to house a massive part of Dundee's creative activities but after several delays to the Tay cities deal funding the project could not be realised. In the end it was too ambitious and needed to be able to start small and grow.

Alan Cumming's wide-ranging career on stage includes playing Hamlet, starring opposite Daniel Radcliffe in Samuel Beckett's Endgame and – perhaps most notably - taking the role of the Emcee in the musical Cabaret in London and New York to great acclaim: his 1998 Broadway performance won seven awards, including a Tony. He's also appeared in films including GoldenEye and Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, and in the TV series The Good Wife. Alan was born in Perthshire in 1965. His father was a forester and the family moved to the Panmure estate on the east coast of Scotland. Encouraged by his English teacher, Alan grew up loving drama at school but his childhood was blighted by his violent and abusive father. He worked for the publisher DC Thomson as a sub-editor before going to the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. There he launched his performing career with fellow student Forbes Masson: together they were Victor and Barry, a comedy and music double-act. They drew on these characters for their BBC TV sit-com The High Life, based around a fictional Scottish airline. Alan has published a novel and three memoirs: his 2014 autobiography Not My Father's Son detailed his very difficult relationship with his father, both in his early years and later in his life. In 2022 Alan is developing a solo dance-theatre work, focusing on the personal history of the Scottish poet Robert Burns, which he will perform in Scotland and New York. He's now also the co-owner of a bar, Club Cumming, in Manhattan.

For our first outdoor episode media business leader and one of a kind motivational speaker Ellis Watson joins me for a walk in the Scottish Highlands.Ellis has worked at the sharp end of corporate crisis – heading a national newspaper business, turning around The Greyhound bus operation in the US and as Global CEO of Simon Cowell's Syco Corporation, before taking charge of UK media group DC Thomson.But behind his professional success is a personal story of resilience and hope. Ellis was given up for adoption as a baby and his teenage search for his birth parents ended with a truly astonishing revelation.This is a story told with humour and passion but without a scintilla of self-pity. He speaks with incredible candour about the extreme ups and downs of a career spent in the company of billionaires, one of whom was Rupert Murdoch – the boss he walked out on in a scene worthy of Succession. Ellis also reflects on the mountain top drama that almost cost him his life.Known as one of the most inspiring and entertaining keynote speakers in the country, Ellis is one of the few people to have been invited back to deliver a second TEDx talk. In this conversation he provides brilliant insights for anyone interested in how crisis can fuel and drive growth and deliver life-changing perspective.Ellis' Crisis Cures:1. Exercise – I hate the thought of doing it but afterwards it gives a sense of calm and perspective. In crisis it makes you feel like you've achieved something, no matter how modest. It makes you feel like you can take control and overcome adversity and difficulty.2. Sleep – Crisis causes you to have interrupted or poor sleep and of course when you have poor sleep you're much, much worse at handling crisis. As vicious circles go, it's about as destructive a thing as you can get.3. Dogs – I get excellent counsel and feedback from a chat with my dogs. Mine think I'm pretty clever and agree with me – especially just before they're about to get fed.Stream/Buy ‘Allies' by Some Velvet Morning: https://ampl.ink/qp6bm Some Velvet Morning Website: www.somevelvetmorning.co.uk

Steve Finan is a journalist of 40 years' standing who has made the transition to author. He is a cobwebbed and dusty expert on newspaper and magazine archives and creates football nostalgia books, mainly drawing upon the extensive material in the DC Thomson archive. One of his recent books, Celtic In The Black & White Era, features hundreds of previously unseen classic Celtic photos from the glory days. Even if you know the history... you haven't seen it like this. These photos have lain hidden in archives for 40, 50 or even 60 years. They show the great events such as the European Cup triumph of 1967, Hampden in the sun, Gil Heron's debut, the John Thomson tragedy, and the Leeds United European tie of 1970. There are also scores of behind-the-scenes photos, images of Celtic heroes of the past as you've never seen them, and “new” old photos of the great games. It is the ideal gift for any Celtic-minded person - nostalgia for those who remember, a chance to experience the halcyon days for those who don't. There's never been a Celtic book like it! In this episode, Steve and myself discuss some iconic moments in Celtic's history, reminisce about the great characters at the club, and give listeners a taste of the photographs included in the book. We also touch on some of Steve's forthcoming projects, in which Celtic feature extensively. You can buy copies of Celtic In The Black & White Era from Waterstones, Amazon or the DC Thomson shop by clicking HERE

A Scottish Podcast About Scotland!This week we talk about the wildly popular and beloved Scottish comic strips The Broons and Oor Wullie. We have been reading about the antics of Oor Wullie and The Broons family for generations in Scotland and you'd be hard pressed to meet someone from home who does have a special place in their heart for Dudley D Watkins & Robert Duncan Low's comic creations. The 85 year old DC Thompson creations originated in the East of Scotland city of Dundee and have become a staple of many Scottish children's Christmas mornings. We take you through the history of the company, the creators and the characters themselves. We also talk a lot about how they fought the Nazis. You'll need to listen to find out. SláinteCONTACT: Instagram: thistledopodTwitter: @thistledopodFacebook: www.facebook.com/thistledopodEmail: thistledonicelypod@gmail.comwebsite & sources: https://www.thistledonicelypod.com/SOURCES: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oor_Wulliehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Broonshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Thomsonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Couper_Thomsonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Churchillhttp://scotiafile.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-brief-history-of-oor-wullie.htmlhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/3601143.stmhttps://www.dctmedia.co.uk/brands/the-broons/https://www.dctmedia.co.uk/brands/oor-wullie/https://www.sundaypost.com/fp/oor-wullie-your-wullie-the-very-first-wullie-big-comeback-for-favourite-son-after-we-send-debut-strip-to-repair-shop/https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2016/oct/09/the-broons-review-adam-smith-theatre-kirkcaldy-comic-strip-sell-a-doorhttps://www.theguardian.com/stage/2019/nov/28/oor-wullie-review-dundee-rep

Steve Finan is journalist who writes regularly about language and the misunderstandings that result every time we open our mouths. His column “Oh My Word” appears in The Courier of Dundee, Scotland, and other DC Thomson publications, where he is the heritage unit editor. He's the author of several books about football—that's proper football not the American kind—including Lifted over the Turnstiles, described as "the best book about old Scottish football grounds ever published."Steve began as a printing apprentice in just under the last four years of hot-metal typesetting and relief letterpress printing at a newspaper in Scotland. He loved the sound, the smell, the pranks, the robust work of it all. He reminisces about his work in those days, and tells stories best known to printer's devils and those who labored on the stone.

Ciar Byrne talks to Christopher Phin, head of podcasts at DC Thomson, about how this “incredibly intimate medium” allows publishers to “hyperserve” their community and why podcasts are brilliant for brand building and delivering highly engaged audiences.Chris gives us four main strategic reasons why publishers should get into podcasting along with practical advice on launching podcasts and keeping them going. He also tells us which five podcasts he's particularly enjoying at the moment and what's so good about them.We would like to thank our podcasts sponsor – Acorn Web Offset, the Yorkshire-based specialist A5 and A4 magazine printer.

Louise Kettle is the editor for, ‘the mag that’s got your back,’ Shout Magazine.From an admirer in her youth, to a writer as an adult, Louise Kettle worked her way up the magazine industry in a rather unorthodox fashion. At the end of her teenage years, Louise decided that she wasn’t ready for university, and so entered the world of fashion retail. She later became a sub-editor for DC Thomson’s Evening Telegraph, before landing her dream position at SHOUT.Shout Magazine is unashamedly a “girly girl’s” magazine, with a main focus on fashion, beauty and celebrities, but with the ultimate goal to empower its readers. Louise theorises that the youth of today are fundamentally different post the advent of social media; elaborating that children have a deep concern for the environment, the future, and inclusivity.Together, we discuss: the magazine marketplace, social media and brand values.This is Louise Kettle’s Rocket Fuel. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week, gal-dem's Head of Editorial Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff talks about the publication's evolution into a fully-fledged and funded publishing business, why they decided to have a print magazine alongside the digital site, and the lessons she will and won't be applying from her time working with other publishers. She also explains why it's so important to have a truly supportive internship scheme, and how publishers need to prepare themselves to properly support diversity in the workplace before bringing people in. In the news round-up, Peter and Esther are joined by International Magazine Centre founder Nikki Simpson. The team discuss Vox Media's acquisition of New York Magazine, how the BBC has found itself in the middle of a racism row with Naga Munchetty, and the launch of Platinum magazine from DC Thomson.

The Pass It On column was a little bit of genius more than 50 years ago in The Sunday Post, a newspaper published in Scotland by DC Thomson. Readers would write in with household tips, such as how to get furniture dents out of carpets, how to dust behind an immovable wardrobe and – my personal favourite – how to get a dent out of a ping-pong ball. My name is Steve Finan, and I couldn’t help but be struck by how these tips tell you so much about the people making their homes in the 1950s – about what they valued, about their pride, about their inventiveness – and so we collected them into a book. Now we’re making a podcast about these tips, and the thrifty, endlessly creative people who came up with them. Hosting – and keeping me in my place! – is Connie Fleming. Connie’s a young, modern woman who has just bought her first house, so we’re going to see what she makes of the wisdom – or otherwise! – of her forebears. It’s all very useful and informative, apart from the bits that are absolutely irrelevant. To make sure you don’t miss a moment, subscribe to the show now wherever you find your podcasts!

DC Thomson is a private company and one of the leading media organizations in the UK. It is headquartered in Dundee, Scotland, with a London base in the world-famous Fleet Street. The company publishes newspapers, magazines and has diversified into new media, digital technology, retail and television interests. On this daily tech podcast, I am passionate about exploring how industries you would not associate with technology are evolving and leveraging technology without adding the decline of their traditional offering. Printed media has experienced more challenges than most as we enter the digital transformation. In a digital world where we read what an algorithm recommends for us, I also wanted to learn more about how we can protect those happy accidents in life where we stumble across content by accident. While here at MagentoLive Europe, I invited Kirsten Morrison and Alan Melrose onto the show from DC Thomson to find out more about how both the worlds of print media and advertising are evolving. We also discuss how they are turning challenges into opportunities by leveraging technology.

This week, Sally Hampton, Consumer Magazines Publisher at DC Thomson spoke to us about how she manages such a wide range of magazines, the biggest shifts she's seen in print publishing, and a surprising new growth opportunity for niche Scottish titles. She also explains why she's so optimistic about the future of magazine media. In the news round-up the team discuss the Independent's paid-for subscription model, whether it matters if print audiences don't follow when newspapers go digital only, Apple foibles, and Comcast's purchase of Sky. Peter's view of the Telegraph's readership is Dickensian.

Artist, printmaker and technician at the DCA print studio, amongst a few other things. He was one of the founders of Dundee Print Collective and has been part of many amazing projects since including print city. Scott chats about his first experience coming to Dundee from Sunderland and applying to art school with his big A1 portfolio in tow. Coming over the Tay on the train is always picturesque and it seems to have had an impact on Scott’s live as Dundee keeps drawing him back. We go on to discuss his time at art school studying illustration and exploring various printing methods. Although screen printing would go on to feature heavily in his career Scott says that he did very little of it at art school. It was more a technique that the graphic design students were using rather than the illustrators. After leaving art school Scott went off travelling but ended up back in Dundee and at the newly opened DCA. In the print studio he started to get to grips with all the kit helped by funding from the Scottish Arts Council (now Creative Scotland). This is when he really got his hands on screen printing and started up the Dundee Print Collective. Influenced by the 2013 Impact Print Conference in Dundee Scott and a couple of others decided to start up Dundee Print Collective. It’s a collective that makes and exhibits print work but anyone can get involved. You don’t have to think of yourself as ‘creative’ or have done any printmaking before to get involved. They’ve now put on 7 exhibitions with their 8th, Edition 4, coming up this month. It’s going to be their biggest exhibition yet with over 70 people getting involved. I’m even going to have a go at creating a print for it myself. It’s a really great way of dipping your toe into printmaking ad getting involved in the great stuff happening at the DCA print studio. Print City is another of the projects Scott has been part of and it was an amazing spectacle at this year’s Dundee Design Festival. Gigantic screen printed cardboard shapes locked together to create huge physical structures that you could walk in around, under and over. A new way of experiencing print making and a brilliant use of the old DC Thomson building.
