Podcast appearances and mentions of Martin Smith

Chosen by Dave, A Shot at Glory is a Scottish football drama directed by Michael Corrente and written by Denis O'Neill, bringing together a surprisingly heavyweight cast for a film about lower-league football, club loyalty, and men shouting at each other in tracksuits. Robert Duvall stars as Gordon McLeod and also served as a producer, with Michael Keaton, Ally McCoist, Brian Cox, Cole Hauser, Kirsty Mitchell, and Morag Hood rounding out a cast that feels like someone put Hollywood, Scottish football, and a pub argument into the same blender. The film was produced around 1999/2000 and received a limited US theatrical release in May 2002, followed by a DVD release later that year.Filming took place across Scotland, with football scenes using real grounds including Boghead Park, Palmerston Park, Rugby Park, and Hampden Park, while much of the fictional town of Kilnockie was shot in Crail, Fife. The movie also has a proper Scottish football texture thanks to appearances from real players and football figures, while the soundtrack was composed by Mark Knopfler, giving the whole thing a Celtic-tinged musical polish rather than just the sound of 8,000 people shouting “man on.” Critics were mixed, the box office was modest, but over time it has become a bit of a cult curiosity for football fans, especially anyone who enjoys seeing Ally McCoist sharing screen space with Robert Duvall and Michael Keaton.Trailer Guy SynopsisIn a small Scottish town, where the rain falls sideways and football is less a sport than a legally recognised emotional condition, one struggling club faces the fight of its life.Kilnockie FC has history, pride, and a fanbase clinging to hope like it's the last pie at half-time. But when an American owner threatens to rip the club from its roots, only one thing can save them: victory, belief, and a team held together by grit, grudges, and questionable decision-making.Fun factsThe film's working title was reportedly The Cup, which is accurate, but does sound like a placeholder left on someone's laptop until five minutes before the poster was printed.Ally McCoist plays Jackie McQuillan, a fictional footballer, despite McCoist himself being one of Scottish football's most recognisable real-life strikers.Brian Cox appears as Martin Smith, the Rangers manager, years before a whole new generation would know him as Logan Roy in Succession.Cole Hauser, later famous as Rip Wheeler in Yellowstone, plays Kelsey O'Brian, a backup goalkeeper, despite reports noting he had no real football background.Several real footballers appear in the movie, including Owen Coyle, Andy Smith, Peter Hetherston, and Didier Agathe.Robert Duvall reportedly spent time observing Raith Rovers to help shape his performance as a Scottish football manager.The fictional Kilnockie FC was loosely inspired by the kind of improbable cup exploits associated with smaller Scottish clubs, including Airdrieonians' runs in the 1990s.Mark Knopfler's soundtrack album contains 11 tracks and was released in 2002, with Guy Fletcher also involved as producer.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

Salmo 113:3"Desde el nacimiento del sol hasta donde se pone, Sea alabado el nombre de Jehová".Cuando un animal extraño fue descubierto por primera vez en las lutitas de Burgess de las Montañas Rocosas Canadienses, los científicos literalmente no podían descifrar su cabeza de la cola. De hecho, cuando reconstruyeron la criatura con forma de gusano, se equivocaron totalmente. Lo construyeron bocabajo y pusieron su cabeza en la cola.Incluso, después de que por fin consiguieron solucionarlo todo, la criatura todavía tenía la apariencia de algo que uno vería en una alucinación o una pesadilla. Es por eso que le llaman Hallucigenia. Este animal de aspecto extraño tenía un poco más de dos pulgadas de largo (5 cm.) y tiene siete pares de espinas tipo clavos que le salían de la espalda. En su parte inferior, un número igual de patas frágiles, con garras en la punta. Y había, una sola fila de tentáculos colgados de su cuello.Por medio de una tecnología sofisticada de procesamiento de imágenes, los científicos se dieron cuenta de que la cabeza realmente se encontraba al final de un cuello largo en forma de un tubo. Cerca del final de la cabeza se encontraban dos ojos con forma de frijol. "Debajo de los ojos, con una sonrisa omnipotente, se encuentra un anillo de dientes", dijo el paleontólogo Martin Smith de la Universidad de Cambridge.Con todas estas diversas partes del cuerpo, esto es bastante complejo para un animal sin un antepasado, ¿no diría? Sí, las lutitas de Burgess y la explosión del Cámbrico siempre han sido una pesadilla para los evolucionistas. Después de todo, ¿cómo pueden una amplia variedad de criaturas muy compleja salir de repente a la existencia de la nada? Si han ido evolucionando, ¿de qué es lo que han evolucionado? ¡Qué pesadilla para los evolucionistas!Oración: ¡Padre Celestial, aunque llenaste nuestro mundo con muchas extrañas criaturas, Te doy las gracias por cada uno de ellos, porque son un testimonio de Tu gran genio creativo! Amén.Ref: "¿Alucinación? No, esta criatura del período Cámbrico era muy raro", Revista Digital | Ciencia. Imagen: Hallucigenia (H. sparsa), Jose manuel canete, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons.

In a recent blog by Martin Smith, he argues that fear is often deliberately stirred up in public life so leaders can gain support, control debate, or push through policies that might otherwise face resistance. When panic drives politics, citizens are more likely to surrender freedoms, accept poor decisions, and overlook long‑term consequences.  The SOTUS delivered a major decision on redistricting and the Voting Rights Act which prohibits the creation of race-based congressional districts. We discuss the ramifications of this ruling. Find out more at https://ron-johnson-discipleship-podca.pinecast.co

It's been a busy 24 hours for the Artemis II crew. They have completed a lunar fly-by, surpassed the furthest distance humans have ever travelled from planet Earth, gone through a communications black out period, and witnessed a lunar eclipse. Host space scientist Maggie Aderin is joined by space journalist Kristin Fisher who, like many of us, stayed up to watch the fly-by. And BBC News science editor Rebecca Morelle calls in from Houston to give us the latest from mission control.

Now thoroughly within the lunar gravitational sphere of influence, Artemis II's crew perform final preparations for the flyby and nearest approach. Very shortly they will break the human distance record from earth.But listeners ask, why will they go further than Apollo 13 went? Space scientist Maggie Aderin and astronaut Tim Peake are joined by expert guest space journalist Kristin Fisher to explore. The astronauts will shortly be the only people to see a unique solar eclipse, survey parts of the lunar far side never gazed upon with human eyes, and enter a communication blackout for around 45 minutes.Astronaut psychology is one of the most important areas of space science. Before working on Nasa's Twins study, Dr Mathias Basner developed a test for astronaut cognition testing. Why? Because astronauts are such over-performers that with ordinary tests, their results would barely register. So… how did Tim score when he had to do them?But tonight, all eyes are on the moon.Season 4 theme music by Hans Zimmer and Christian Lundberg and produced by Russell Emanuel, for Bleeding Fingers Music.

Martin shares how a random suggestion from his dad led him from cricket dreams to a secondhand guitar, a Holy Spirit encounter at nineteen, and early worship songs like “Lord, You Have My Heart” and “I Could Sing of Your Love Forever.” They trace the unlikely British wave of worship that swept the world, how Delirious? broke all the “rules,” and why Martin still believes deeply in the local church as the home that saves, shapes, and steadies creatives. From the near-fatal car accident that pushed him to go “all in” with Cutting Edge/Delirious? to nine-minute spontaneous tracks and leaving holy space in worship, Martin talks about the power of music to heal, deliver, and reorient our hearts. He and Levi explore prophetic songwriting, how some lyrics arrive far beyond our understanding, why streaming stats feel like everyone's paycheck on display, and how to help a new generation make pure, cutting-edge worship in a numbers-obsessed world. The conversation also gets wonderfully practical and tender—why “the devil hates flags,” what it means to raise a banner and recover undignified praise, how Martin chose to walk away from arenas for the sake of his kids, and the decade he spent in the shadows asking, “Am I done?” Now a grandpa called “Pops,” Martin reflects on legacy, singing “Our God Reigns” with new weight, and learning to embrace each season—whether it's feeding 20,000 or 4,000—as part of God's good story.

The English worship band Delirious (technically Deliriou5?) certainly changed church music and probably influenced a young Chris Martin of Coldplay, but was their lasting impact on music bigger than Nirvana's? That's the case made in a social media video by our guest today, Gabriel Wilson. Wilson is a veteran of worship bands both as a musician and producer. He once toured with Delirious and has produced Delirious singer Martin Smith in the studio. He also has a deep respect for Nirvana. Andrew and Leah dig into his case for Delirious having a larger impact on music writ large than Nirvana. Gabriel's Video---Do you have a Christian rock story to tell? Want to respond to this episode?

James Gallagher discusses the plans with Sarah Woolnough, Chief Executive of The King's Fund, an independent think tank working to improve health and care across England, and Sally Gainsbury, Senior Policy Analyst at the Nuffield Trust, specialising in evidence-based research on health and social care provision in the UK.Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being touted as a way to improve efficiency and save money in the 10 Year Plan and every day in healthcare there are headlines about new AI-driven tools that could revolutionise medicine. In a new mini-series, James hears about different ways AI is being used starting with heart scans that use AI to analyse large amounts of data to predict health outcomes in a way that would be near impossible for a human to achieve. He talks to Dr Arunashis Sau from the National Heart & Lung Institute at Imperial College, London.Also, with a 200-year-old condom made from a sheep's insides attracting crowds to the Rijksmuseum in The Netherlands, James finds out about the history of condoms with cultural historian Dr Kate Stephenson.Presenter: James Gallagher Producer: Tom Bonnett Additional production: Ella Hubber Editors: Glyn Tansley and Martin Smith

Longtime FRONTLINE correspondent and director Martin Smith returns to talk about his latest documentary, China, the U.S. &the Rise of Xi Jinping. With President Trump vowing larger tariffs in his second term, the documentary examines China's rise to economic prominence, the life and vision of its longstanding leader, and rising tensions with the United States over issues such as trade and the future of Taiwan. Smith sat down with FRONTLINE Editor-in-Chief and Executive Producer Raney Aronson-Rath to talk about the challenges of making the documentary — including not being able to film inside China — and why he chose to focus on the life and career of President Xi. “He's the leader of our chief global rival, and I think a lot about him is not understood,” Smith told Aronson-Rath. “We thought it was important for people to understand who he is, where he came from, what made him into the man he is.” You can watch China, the U.S. & the Rise of Xi Jinping, from the award-winning team of Smith, producer and director Marcela Gaviria and producer Brian Funck, on FRONTLINE's website, FRONTLINE's YouTube channel and the PBS App. Want to be notified every time a new podcast episode drops?
