Podcasts about Scotland

One of the most fascinating but perpetually overlooked figures from the world of the Tudors is Margaret Douglas, Countess of Lennox. As the sole daughter of Margaret Tudor, Queen of Scotland, Margaret Douglas was a niece of King Henry VIII and first cousin to his three children. Her life was spent in the shadows of the Tudor world, and she found herself getting on the wrong side of her relatives on several occasions, resulting in several stints as a prisoner in the tower of London, so, what was her story? Well to discuss Margaret and her fascinating life, I am pleased to welcome back historian and author Beverley Adams onto the podcast for a discussion inspired by her book, The Forgotten Tudor Royal, Margaret Douglas, Grandmother to King James VI and I

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with one of the most accomplished open-wheel racers in history, three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti. After elevating through the karting ranks of Scotland and taking on the lower formula divisions in Europe, Dario set his sights on the US racing scene, specifically the Championship Auto Racing Teams series. Once stateside, Dario explains his journey wasn't easy, and he initially struggled until joining Barry Green's organization. Dario would have a breakout year in 2007, winning his first Indianapolis 500 and the IndyCar Series championship, but through all the success, he felt his motivation waning, and he was ready for the next challenge. The next challenge came in an unlikely form: NASCAR. Through a deal with Chip Ganassi, Dario would plunge into the world of stock car racing with both feet, taking on the Cup grid in 2008 full-time. The endeavor would be ill-fated, and before long, Dario was back behind the wheel of an IndyCar, where he began a dynasty championship run. This incredible in-depth interview dives deep into the heartbreak of losing loved ones in motorsports, the severity of head injuries, and the difficulty of walking away from competitive racing.

From The Sisterhood to The Institute, Katherine Bradley joins the WCCS to discuss the dark limits of human connection, “flock phenomena,” and how she balances life as a Head of Year with writing high-concept thrillers.By The Writing Community Chat ShowHow do you find the time to write a psychological thriller when you're also a full-time English teacher and Head of Year responsible for 300 students?This week on the Writing Community Chat Show—recently ranked the #3 writing podcast in the UK—we sat down with the brilliant Katherine Bradley. Known for her critically acclaimed novel The Sisterhood, Katherine is back with a haunting new release, The Institute, described as The Sanctuary meets Shutter Island.In this episode, we dive deep into the Road to Writing, the reality of taking brutal feedback, and why Katherine is frequently terrified by the very technology she writes about.Watch the Full Interview.You can watch the full live stream below or listen to the podcast episode directly on this page.The Road to Writing: Filter Coffee and Tenacity.Katherine's journey wasn't an overnight success. She shared how she used to get to a cafe at 7:30 AM every morning before her office job, armed with two cups of filter coffee and a determination to make her dream a reality.Key Takeaways for Authors:* Bet on Yourself: Katherine turned down a major promotion because she knew the extra responsibility would kill her writing discipline.* The “No Tea” Rule: She recalled a pivotal piece of feedback from an agent: “No one wants to read about people drinking tea.” Every page must move the story forward.* Finding the Right Agent: Katherine emphasizes the importance of a partnership. She is now with Stephanie Glencross at David Higham Associates, but she's had her share of “mean” agents in the past. Her advice? Don't be desperate; find someone who actually likes your genre.What's the Story? The Institute.Katherine's latest book, The Institute, is set on a remote island off the west coast of Scotland.The story follows Billy, a young woman who wakes up after a flocking event where her friends died in a zombie-like trance. She is sent to the mysterious Arbor Institute, a spa-like facility for brain injuries that feels more like a gilded cage.Katherine was inspired by flock phenomena; the way starlings move as one—and the terrifying idea of what happens when human beings lose their individual agency to a collective, tech-driven impulse.Black Mirror and the Fear of “What If?”The conversation took a dark turn into the world of AI and technology. Katherine admitted that while she writes about these high-concept near-dystopias, she is frequently terrified by the real world.“I really like writing about things that worry people... are we right to be worried, or are we just worried about being worried?”From 1984-esque government control to the murky ethics of the pharmaceutical industry, Katherine uses her fiction to work through the anxieties of the modern age.Support the Author.* Pick up The Institute: [Available here]* Follow Katherine Bradley: Find her on Twitter/X at @KateBradley and on Instagram.Join the Community.If you enjoyed this interview, make sure to subscribe to our Substack for more articles, industry tips, and behind-the-scenes content from our 380+ interviews with the world's best authors.The WCCS: Together as one, we get it done!Enjoying the show?

Today on the podcast, I am chatting to my friend and voicenote partner in crime Nikki McWilliams. I always find it interesting when people run multiple different brands, and I love to hear how they manage it, how they do it all, and how it all fits together. Nikki not only has a solid personal brand, but she also runs two distinct online shops: one selling her famous biscuit-inspired homewares and another dedicated to stationery. In this episode, we delve into how she keeps it all clear in her head, how she juggles the workload, and how she maintains consistency across different businesses. We also discuss the massive shift in social media marketing—from the polished "flat lay" era to the rise of "scrappy" reels—and why having multiple "squirrel pots" of income is the key to feeling secure as a self-employed creative.   Key Takeaways: The "Squirrel Pot" Strategy: Nikki treats her different businesses and income streams as "squirrel pots." Having multiple streams provides security because when one area (like luxury cushions) ebbs, another (like affordable stationery) might flow Distinct Branding for Distinct Audiences: While both brands sit under her name, Nikki uses different visual vibes and colour palettes to separate them—one is luxury and gift-focused, while the other leans into nostalgia and necessity . Scrappy Content Wins: We discuss the mindset shift required to move away from perfectly polished content. Surprisingly, the posts that take the least time to create (like filming in pyjamas on a phone) often perform the best The Art of the Creative Pitch: Nikki shares a brilliant story about how she won a PR trip on a cruise by pitching with a physical, hand-made passport instead of just a standard email. Agility is a Superpower: As a small business owner, you don't have to stick to a plan if it isn't working. Nikki explains why she is currently leaning more into stickers and stationery because that is what is selling right now.   Episode Highlights: 01:00 – The origins of the Biscuit Shop (2010) and the rise of the Nikki Supply Store (2017) via the bullet journaling trend 07:00 – How Nikki balances a personal brand with two product-based businesses 15:00 – Why self-employment can actually feel more secure than a traditional job in the current economy 18:00 – How to pitch to brands and get paid properly for content creation 25:00 – The struggle of pivoting from high-production content to "scrappy" authentic video 37:00 – Nikki's future goals: YouTube monetization and designing a sticker book   About The Guest: Nikki McWilliams is a designer and small business owner based in Scotland. She is the founder of Nikki McWilliams, known for her iconic biscuit-themed cushions, and Nikki's Supply Store, a go-to shop for bullet journaling and stationery supplies. You can find her biscuit shop at nikkimcwilliams.com and her stationery shop at nikkisupplystore.com.

Today, a fun trip down memory lane! Lots of things have shaped my life and work as an ecologist, and this experience when I was 25 was one of them. As I wrapped up my master's degree at the University of Durham in England, I was hired onto a grey seal project on some tiny, uninhabited islands off the coast of Scotland. While I was there, I recorded the seals and the six weeks of fieldwork on my Walkman cassette recorder. I had no idea I’d be digging into those archives 32 years later! Hear the tape, learn about the seals, and listen to our conversation when I track down Dr Sean Twiss who hired me all those years ago. This was a fun one!

This week, Doop and Dave take control once again with updates on their respective saves. Is Dave finally pushing for glory in Scotland? Is Doop adapting to life in Germany or will his wandering eye look to take him elsewhere again?

Tom English and Andy Burke answer listener questions and look back on Scotland's Six Nations win against Wales in Cardiff. Have Scotland turned a corner? Is it redemption time for Townsend? With the two of the toughest games in the tournament ahead of them are two wins out of five enough to silence the Townsend critics? Was beating Wales a bigger win for Scotland than beating England? Tom and Andy have you covered.

It was a weekend of our favourite sporting delicacy: beautiful, chaotic upsets and we are absolutely feasting. Ireland didn't just beat England… they systematically dismantled them, with Jamison Gibson-Park running the show like a man who had the English defence on puppet strings. Every counter looked dangerous, every breakdown felt Irish, and England had absolutely no answers. Down south, the rugby gods delivered something even more outrageous: the Crusaders didn't just lose — they got hammered. The Brumbies dropped a half-century on them in Christchurch for their first win there in 26 years. Nobody saw it coming, everybody enjoyed it (well… almost everybody). Wales, after weeks of looking like rugby's saddest soap opera, finally resembled a functioning rugby side again. They still went down to a street-tough, slightly fortunate Scotland — but at least this time there were signs of life and something to actually laugh with instead of at. We also get stuck into France continuing to look like the team to beat, Italy continuing to be awkwardly competitive, and a Super Rugby round that delivered chaos, entertainment, and confirmation that the Blues still look shaky even when they scrape past the Force. Upsets, chaos, schadenfreude, and a healthy dose of nonsense. Grab a beer and enjoy.

The Go Radio Football Show: 24th of February 2026. PLAY and HIT SUBSCRIBE, and NEVER miss an episode! A weekend where controversy overshadowed quality, tempers flared on and off the pitch, and the title race somehow became even tighter. This episode is a full‑throttle dive into the most controversial refereeing weekend of the season — and the decision to hand John Beaton the whistle for Rangers v Celtic. With VAR dominating headlines, Paul Cooney, Mark Guidi and Darren O'Dea unpack a catalogue of officiating errors, the psychology of referees under scrutiny, and the growing sense that the title race is being shaped as much by the men in the middle as the players on the pitch. The Beaton Appointment Shock Darren O'Dea admits he's “surprised he's been picked” for the derby. Mark Guidi goes harder: Beaton's “off‑form this season” and hasn't earned this fixture. The panel question whether Willie Collum has chosen form — or simply rotation. VAR: From Safety Net to Circus Multiple examples of VAR interventions that still produced the wrong outcome. Mark blasts the “cosiness” between refs and VAR officials — no one wants to overrule a colleague. Darren: the real anger comes from refs having all the angles… and still getting it wrong. The Trusty Red Card & Scales Penalty Debate O'Dea: Trusty's action was “idiotic” but not the kind of thing you want to see red cards for. Guidi: Scales' jersey pull happens at every set piece — not a penalty for him. Celtic's appeal? Dismissed. Three‑match ban stands. Rangers' Stumble at Livingston Danny Röhl praises the “character” to come back from 2–0 down. Fans furious at dropped points against a side winless since August. Caller Paul questions John Souttar's form — and whether he's costing Rangers. Hearts & Motherwell: The Real Title Disruptors Hearts keep grinding out results; Guidi says they're “playing with no pressure.” Motherwell's defensive record is elite — only 18 conceded in 27 games. Caller Hugh claims they could go unbeaten in the final 11 games. Darren doesn't dismiss it. Celtic's Form Crisis O'Dea: Celtic “don't look like Celtic” and will need to scrap their way through the run‑in. Guidi: despite everything, the title is still in Celtic's hands — win out, and they're champions. The Old Firm Showdown Looms Rangers favourites at Ibrox — but neither side convincing. Guidi: Rangers haven't won a meaningful derby in years. O'Dea: the winner on Sunday gets the psychological spark they've both been missing.

Ugo, Sam Warburton & John Barclay discuss the fallout from round three of the Six Nations as England are humbled for the second week in a row, France march on and Scotland backed up their Calcutta Cup win. So what next for England after another damaging defeat? Does their gameplan need to evolve? And how many changes should Steve Borthwick make for Italy? Ireland showed their attack is back to its best. Were Andy Farrell's men written off too soon? Wales are still without a win, but Sam is optimistic Welsh rugby is no longer in freefall after Saturday's performance and turnout at the Principality. France are now one bonus-point win from the title, but can Scotland reproduce the clinical display they showed against England and blow the championship wide open?

MLS is back. Europe tightens. Pressure builds everywhere.On today's Morning Espresso, we break down Atlanta United's season-opening loss in Cincinnati and explain our new three-part match coverage model: The Game Story, Maddie's Version, and The Long View.Across MLS, Matchday 1 delivered 46 goals, a record opening-day crowd in Los Angeles, a youth movement in New York, and early statements from contenders. In North London, Arsenal responded to doubt with authority while Tottenham slide toward real relegation danger. Barcelona reclaimed first place in La Liga, PSG moved back to the top in France, and chaos unfolded in Scotland's title race.We also cover the Vinícius investigation in Europe, Sheffield Wednesday's historic February relegation, James Milner's Premier League appearance record, Marcelo Gallardo's uncertainty at River Plate, unrest in Rosario ahead of the clásico, Fernando Diniz's dismissal at Vasco, Casemiro's potential MLS future, and match postponements in Mexico amid security concerns.Seasons are beginning in some places and tightening in others. The stakes are rising everywhere.

We're three weeks into the Six Nations and England's hopes of winning the tournament are up in flames after they were hammered by Ireland at Twickenham.Alan and Charles are joined in studio by the Telegraph's Dan Schofield to unpack the defeat and look at how England can salvage what is left of their Six Nations campaign.It was a bittersweet afternoon for England captain Maro Itoje. He won his 100th cap for his country but was withdrawn early once again and Dan thinks it's time he was given a six-month sabbatical from the game to ensure he is at his best for the World Cup next year.We also ask what has happened to the England lineout, and why is their defence so easy to penetrate?As for Ireland, that performance instantly changes the narrative around Andy Farrell's side. There's high praise for Stuart McCloskey too who has been their standout player of the tournament so far.Elsewhere we ask if Wales fans will be happy despite defeat to Scotland in Cardiff, can anyone stop France winning a Grand Slam and we tackle your questions as usual.

The Go Radio Football Show: 23rd of February 2026. PLAY and HIT SUBSCRIBE, and NEVER miss an episode! A weekend where controversy overshadowed quality, tempers flared on and off the pitch, and the title race somehow became even tighter. Paul Cooney is joined by Barry Ferguson and Peter Grant, and from the first whistle the conversation explodes into debate: Is VAR officially in crisis? Celtic lose at home to Hibs for the first time in 16 years, Rangers drop points at Livingston after VAR ignores a last‑minute flashpoint, Hearts march on with another gritty win, and Motherwell smash St Mirren 5–0 in a statement performance. Celtic's meltdown at Celtic Park — trust in VAR collapses as decisions leave fans, pundits, and even Martin O'Neill baffled. Rangers' rescue job at Livingston — character shown, but serious questions about away form and refereeing chaos. Hearts' title credentials — are they quietly becoming favourites? Motherwell's astonishing rise — the form team in Scotland, playing fearless football and refusing to go away. Fan insight + live callers — frustration, debate, realism, and humour as supporters of all clubs weigh in. The wider crisis in officiating — consistency, credibility, communication… and whether VAR should simply be scrapped. The looming Old Firm — who has the edge? Who must win? And is the loser out of the title race?

It's a fallow week in the 6 Nations so Alfie Reynolds, Elgan Alderman and Stuart Barnes discuss all of the action from round three.They chat about Scotland's nervy performance in Cardiff as Gregor Townsend's side (just!) got the victory. Was this Scotland banishing demons from previous campaigns? Or have they once again failed to back up an impressive performance against England?Barnsey gives his verdict on what on earth is going wrong for England following a terrible day at Twickenham in defeat to Ireland. And, Elgan was in Lille as France remained unbeaten by winning against Italy.Could the Italians now be the favorites to beat England for the first time in their history? Are Ireland or Scotland best placed to challenge for the title alongside France? And, which nation benefits from the timing of the fallow week?***The Ruck Live!Before the final whistle is blown on the 2026 Guinness Men's Six Nations, there's the small matter of Super Saturday. This year the final round promises to be even more explosive, with rivals England and France going head-to-head in the very last match of the competition at the Stade de France.Tough-tacklers Courtney Lawes and Serge Betsen will join Charlie Morgan, Senior Rugby Writer at The Times, and Alfie Reynolds — host of our podcast The Ruck — to compare notes on Le Crunch and the biggest moments of this year's tournament.Book tickets on thetimes.com/events Hosted on Acast.

Every four years, we are captivated by the remarkable athletes who compete at the Olympics.  But while most Olympic events inspire a sort of awe because of their athleticism, curling feels different. It feels accessible, something that anyone could do, even if you've been drinking. From its medieval origins on the frozen marshes of Scotland to its spread across the globe through centuries of migration, curling has built a rich, storied history.  Learn more about curling and how pushing rocks on ice became an Olympic sport on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
