House music seems to go through various trends, new iterations, reworks and phases. Jasper James has seen them come and go. The Glaswegian DJ and producer was practically raised on the stuff, growing up around the Sub Club family and cutting his teeth at local parties and in small, dimly lit crowded basements long before it ever became ‘cool' to be a DJ. His musical repertoire was taught by his father, Harri of Subculture fame. However his own ability to read a room and command a dancefloor remains very much his own. Over the years he has evolved beyond the Glasgow underground playing globally and receiving acclaim before going on to release music on Optimo Trax, ESP Institute, No Art and Steel City Dance Discs amongst others. This mix showcases his versatility in the booth as he weaves between shades of house music – demonstrating a deep rooted knowledge and respect for the origins of the genre.
A Scottish curling club in Glasgow is credited for creating the first indoor bowling green in 1845. Fast forward, and the sport continues to flourish, in fact a growing number of young New Zealanders appear to be taking to the bowling green. The broad appeal of indoors bowls in this country was illustrated at the recent Indoor Bowling Nationals in Ashburton. The oldest champion was Bernard Bennett who attended his first nationals in 1955 and was a member of this year's winning Masters Triples team aged 91. The youngest champion crowned was 24-year-old Matthew Farquhar. Matthew joins Jesse.
Matt and Eric head to Scotland for their next ScarJo adeventure - this time it's the moody, grim A24 alien-preys-on-non-actors UNDER THE SKIN. It's an excellent exploration of how good Scarlett Johansson is when she observes and ponders.
Dominica's Thea LaFond had a golden 2024. She was one of a handful of athletes who won the World Indoors in March, and then followed it up with an Olympic title at the Games in Paris.That night, the entire population of her native Dominica could have fitted inside the Stade de France. Her gold at the Games was the island nation's first of any colour in any Olympic sport, just as her World Indoor title was their first medal of any colour at those Championships. Having moved to the United States at the age of five, Thea describes how hard it was to adapt to a different kind of life. Dance, and later track and field, helped her with that transition. She remembers trying the Triple Jump for the first time, taking off and doing three ballet-style leaps with straight legs before the coach told her that wasn't the way to do it!Thea has remained a child of both countries, and is rightly proud of everything she's achieved wearing the vest of Dominica. She was their only representative at the Glasgow World Indoor Championships, and then part of a team of just four athletes in Paris.Thea explains how she had the best season of her life just as she was turning thirty, and how the death of her friend and inspiration, Dr Carissa F. Etienne, the Director of the Pan American Health Organization, was a catalyst for that. Thea jumped all season with a yellow ribbon in her hair to remember her fellow Dominican, and says it gave her ‘an extra pair of wings'.Thea tells us about those times when she considered giving up the sport. She worked for six years as a teacher, and was a largely self-funded and part-time athlete during that period.Find out how she won both of 2024's golds despite carrying a knee injury through the season, and how she won in Glasgow and Paris with personal bests in both finals. Plus, how Thea's coach and husband Aaron Gadson's weather forecasting played a key role on the night of the Olympic final.Photo: Dominica's athlete and gold medallist Thea Lafond poses with her medal on stage at the Champions Park at Trocadero during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in Paris on August 6, 2024, with the Eiffel Tower visible in the background.

Welcome to Henry's Dashboard Dialogues, where we explore developments in Glasgow, Kentucky. In this episode, we are joined by John Miller, who has relocated his cannabis industry venture, Forus Industries, from California to Glasgow. We discuss the booming hemp and medical marijuana industry, highlighting the employment opportunities this brings to the local community. This episode provides insight into the regulatory challenges and the innovative work environment at Forus Industries, aiming to create a thriving business in the heart of Kentucky.
Since the pandemic, Glasgow has been carving out a fresh identity in the progressive scene through Skyline — a monthly rooftop gathering that's become a ritual for fans of deep, melodic sound. Helmed by Graham Chalmers aka Twilo, the party pairs high-calibre lineups with five-star comfort, earning rare goodwill from artists and punters alike. It's no surprise Skyline felt like the perfect fit as a brand partner for Balance Croatia. With the countdown underway to our sold-out debut, the timing was right to shine a light on the man behind the movement — and invite him to showcase his musical chops alongside longtime partner-in-sound and fellow Skyline resident, Andy Newland. What they delivered is a four-hour excursion packed with progressive heat and nostalgic undertones. Featuring tracks from Nicolas Rada, Ezequiel Arias, Gai Barone and more, it's a delicious taste of what's to come this August. @skyline_glasgow

This week, I'm joined once again by the brilliant Cat MacLeod a returning guest and friend of the podcast for a raw and honest chat about what it takes to be a creative in 2025 ✨Since we last spoke, Cat's been selected for the inaugural Sean Connery Talent Lab with NFTS Scotland, where she's directing a short film (with a real budget this time), and she's launched _and friends a brilliant new theatre initiative that champions fresh work and supports artists in meaningful, no-gatekeeper ways.

When cops on the English coast busted a bid to bring in a huge shipment of cocaine in 2020, it sent shockwaves through the underworld hundreds of miles north in Scotland, where the drugs were destined for, and reignited a bitter feud between the Lyons and Daniel crime families that had simmered for almost two decades. Today, with a third, international gang entering the fray, the feud has spilled into all-out war, with residents of Glasgow and Edinburgh watching in horror as homes burn and bodies drop. But how did it all begin — and where will the violence end? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The paddle steamer Waverley is one of the real treasures of the maritime world. The last surviving seagoing and passenger-carrying paddle steamer, she continues to this day to take day trippers on joyrides around our coast, her paddles churning up the sea as she goes. Built on the Clyde in 1946 she spent almost thirty years taking passengers up to Loch Long before being bought by the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society, a maritime heritage group with its own proud and important history. To find out more about the ship, her preservation and her summer cruises, Dr Sam Willis travelled up to Glasgow to sail from her contemporary berth in the city centre, yards from where she was built, to the west coast resort of Largs.

Send us a textWe're joined by Adrian Brannan, an automotive photographer from Glasgow. He learnt his craft following his father around (who was a wedding photographer) and taking photos of the family cars, and anything interesting he saw on the street.His Dad learnt to drive late, so Adrian remembers him learning, and also his first car... an orange Chrysler Horizon. It was an early one, and later re-badged as a Talbot. It was replaced by a yellow Mk3 Ford Escort, which wasn't much better... in fact Adrian recalls it letting in water when it rained!Their Ford Sierra Sapphire was a huge step up in build quality and comfort, and whilst it wasn't a range topper (with rear armrest) it put the others to shame, and proved to be the perfect muse for Adrian to practice his photography on.Today, Adrian is reliving these mediocre motoring experiences himself, as he's tracked down one of only a few exisiting Chrysler Horizons, in orange... He's added a little twist, lowering it on banded steel wheels.He's also sourced a yellow Mk3 Escort 5 door, as per his childhood chariot, and rounded the whole thing off with a Sierra Sapphire... Cosworth (well its almost the same!) In fact Adrian is into double digits with his 80s, 90s and early noughties car collection.. and his daily driver is a Ford Orion he won in a retro car raffle!

Kevin Anderson's The Late Marx's Revolutionary Roads: Colonialism, Gender, and Indigenous Communism (Verso, 2025) encourages to look again at the intellectual and political work of a figure some may assume has been exhausted: Karl Marx. Following on from his earlier landmark study Marx at the Margins: On Nationalism, Ethnicity and Non-Western Societies (University of Chicago Press, 2016), this volume turns specifically to the ‘late Marx'. In this period (1869-82), Marx spent much of his time engrossed in the study of colonialism, agrarian Russia and India, Indigenous societies, and gender among many other less known topics of his interest. His notes, especially what come to be known as The Ethnological Notebooks, along with letters, essays and a scattering of published texts remain only poorly known (and in some cases unpublished or not yet fully translated into English) and form the backbone of Anderson's study. They evidence a change of perspective, away from Eurocentric worldviews or unilinear theories of development. Anderson shows how the late Marx sees a wider revolution that included the European proletariat being touched off by revolts by oppressed ethno-racial groups, peasant communes, and Indigenous communist groups, in many of which women held great social power. In our discussion, we highlight some of the key themes in the late Marx, bringing out the ways in which Marx is making connections across his writings, how colonial subjects in Ireland and India share commonalities and what can be seen when we look at communal social forms in Russia and among Native Americans. We also discuss why Marx can be seen as a decolonial thinker, consider what he might have produced had he lived longer and the ways in which the late Marx can be presented to students to complement his central themes of class and capitalism.

England and Wales is still - unbelievably - operating under an 1861 law that criminalises abortion access. An unprecedented rise in prosecutions and the rise of an aggressive US-style anti-abortion movement in the UK have triggered calls for change. Labour MP Stella Creasy joins Nish and Coco to break down her bill to decriminalise abortion and make it a protected human right. Over in Scotland - Reform and Labour are battling against the SNP in a crucial by-election in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse on the outskirts of Glasgow. Former First Minister Humza Yousaf MSP shares his thoughts on this two-horse race, the Government's complicity in genocide in Gaza, and what his next career moves might be. And finally - is Dominic Cummings, former special advisor to Boris Johnson - yes, the one who broke lockdown rules driving to Barnard Castle to “test his eyesight” - worth paying attention to… Stay tuned after the credits for a trailer for a special crossover with The News Meeting from the Observer, featuring our very own Coco Khan.
