Will the tax push up the price of food as some fear, and put farmers out of business? Or is it a model that other countries can and should follow?Plus - we meet Hilda, the Scottish calf bred to emit lower levels of methane.if you'd like to get in touch with the programme, you can email us at businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresented and produced by Lexy O'Connor(Picture: Calves - including Hilda - in a shed.)

Immortalised by Shakespeare, Scottish king Macbeth was killed in battle near Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire on 15th August 1057; a demise that brought significant changes to Scotland's monarchy. But the real Macbeth, contrary to his portrayal in the play, ruled for 17 relatively peaceful years and displayed generosity toward the church. That said, his relationship with the real Lady Macbeth - Gruogh, widow of Gilear, the previous king - was, let's agree, rather complicated.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why witches were included in the script to satisfy King James I; offer a pragmatic explanation for the superstition that actors must never speak the name "Macbeth" in a theatre; and reveal the, er, creative way the Danish minister for finance once escaped responsibility for a nasty shipwreck… Further Reading: • ‘The Real Macbeth: King of Scots, 1040-1054' (History Today, 1957): https://www.historytoday.com/archive/real-macbeth-king-scots-1040-1054 • ‘Macbeth (r. 1040-1057)' (The Royal Family): https://www.royal.uk/macbeth-r-1040-1057 • ‘Who Was The Real King MacBeth?'

Murewa was born in the midst of the Phalanx introduction (Uncanny X-Men 313) so we also discuss: how long superheroes can hold their breath underwater Bishop is the Hulk now the best way to take out the Phalanx is with a standard issue pole everyone is joining the Phalanx these days (looking at you, Douglock) you can be mad at Lodro about his Scottish accent or his lack of Star Trek knowledge, but not both All this plus how the core of the Storm series is about her autonomy.

This fascinating novel—dual-time historical with a fantastical overlay, based in part on the life of the author's great-grandfather, a nineteenth-century charlatan—follows the career of a young Scotswoman named Nairna Liath. When we meet her in 1900, Nora, sixteen years old, travels the Scottish countryside at the insistence of her father, Tavish, who supports himself and his daughter by hawking her supposed skills as a medium—expressed through his own mangled Gaelic mixed with a series of parlor tricks that Nairna has mastered. But we soon find out that the joke's on Tavish: Nairna really does have psychic talents, especially in reading Tarot cards. Her ability attracts attention from the Society for Psychical Research, setting Nairna on her path to become the spiritualist Nora Grey. Her tale is intertwined with (in fact, propelled by) that of Nairna's grandmother, Lottie Liath, in the 1860s. Lottie has just lost her husband in a coal mining accident, and when she protests the lack of financial support provided by the uncaring mine administration, the manager has her arrested and thrown in jail. From there, the pregnant Lottie ends up in an asylum. And it's the asylum, where she is subjected to psychic experiments, that brings her increasingly into conversation with Nora. The Entirely True Story of the Fantastical Mesmerist Nora Grey (Kensington Books, 2025) is rich in drama—both tragedy and comedy—as well as rapid switches of identity accompanied by pseudo news reports from various types of sources that illuminate Nora's and Lottie's stories in various ways. It's tremendous fun and heartbreaking at the same time, and it's best just to suspend disbelief and go with the flow. If you do, I guarantee you will love every minute of this story. Kathleen Kaufman, a native Coloradan and long-time resident of Los Angeles, California, is the author of six previous books. A University of Southern California alum, she teaches high school English and is a writing and composition adjunct professor at Santa Monica College. The Entirely True Story of the Fantastical Mesmerist Nora Grey is her latest novel. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and four other novels. Her latest book, Song of the Steadfast, appeared in June 2025.

(00:00) Weekend Golf Trip to Scotland This chapter features a lively conversation with Jeff Smith, a Golf Magazine Top 100 teacher, and returning guest Kelly Stenson, who shares her recent golfing adventure in Scotland with her 15-year-old son. We explore the joys of playing golf in new places, especially the bucket-list experience of playing in Scotland. Kelly emphasizes the importance of spending quality time with family on the golf course and encourages listeners to travel and explore new courses, whether abroad or within the United States. We reflect on the cherished memories made during such trips and the lasting impact they have on family bonds. (10:39) Scotland Golf Trip Highlights and Tips This chapter focuses on the joys and challenges of playing golf in windy conditions and the intricacies of planning golf trips with family versus fellow golfers. We share experiences of managing high winds on the golf course, the necessity of adapting one's game, and the importance of having the right equipment, like the three wood. We also explore the dynamics of travel golf, emphasizing the balance between golfing and other activities, especially when traveling with family. Kelly Stenzel, a prominent figure in golf media and a PGA master professional, joins us to recount her recent golf trip to Scotland. She describes the excitement of driving on the left side of the road, the beauty of Edinburgh, and her preference for spontaneous exploration over structured tours, highlighting the captivating allure of St. Andrews and the surrounding countryside. (14:11) Scottish Golf Course Experiences This chapter takes us on a journey through the challenges and joys of driving and golfing in Scotland. We explore the experience of adapting to left-hand driving on narrow roads, often while being guided by vigilant family members. I share my own experiences, navigating with a minivan full of backseat drivers while shifting gears with my left hand. The conversation transitions to golfing adventures, highlighting iconic courses like Cruden Bay and Brora, with its sheep and cows roaming freely. We touch on the unique landscapes and weather conditions that add to the charm and challenge of Scottish golf courses. Additionally, we discuss the accessibility of these courses, noting the combination of private and public options available to enthusiasts willing to explore local offerings. Whether staying in quaint coastal towns or sampling mysterious local dishes, the essence of embracing the local culture and savoring each moment is emphasized throughout our travels. (19:34) Golf Travel Destinations and Cultural Experiences This chapter takes listeners on a global journey of golfing experiences, starting with a recount of a memorable game at Crail, a picturesque golf course near St Andrews, Scotland. We discuss the charm of small towns and the cultural nuances encountered, such as the distinct Scottish dialect and its sometimes playful use. The conversation shifts to the cultural significance of golf in Japanese business etiquette, with anecdotes highlighting the importance of golfing skills in corporate environments. We also share personal travel experiences across the United States and beyond, exploring golf destinations from Florida to the majestic landscapes of Wyoming and Montana, and expressing aspirations to visit Banff and Lake Louise. The episode is filled with laughter and admiration for the beauty of these courses and the unique experiences they offer, underscoring the universal allure of golf as a connector across cultures and landscapes.

We discuss the joy of seeing young players excel and the importance of recognizing their hard work and achievements. Shifting gears, the idea of creating golf travel trails, similar to Kentucky's Bourbon Trail, is examined, suggesting that golf courses could collaborate to attract tourists by offering travel packages along I-64. We also share lighthearted anecdotes about bourbon tasting experiences, both in Louisville and during travels, while considering personal tastes and preferences in spirits. (39:27) Golf Bunker Tips and Techniques This chapter takes us on a journey to the iconic golf courses of Scotland, where we explore the challenges of navigating the deep, daunting bunkers that define these legendary landscapes. Reflecting on personal experiences at St Andrews, including the infamous Hell Bunker, we discuss the critical techniques required to conquer these sandy obstacles. Key insights include the importance of maintaining good technique, using a lofted club, and applying a forceful, downward swing to create an explosive burst of sand that lifts the ball out. We also recount the story of Bobby Jones and his struggle with the notorious greenside bunker on the 11th hole at St Andrews, emphasizing that even the best can be humbled by these treacherous traps. Wrapping up, we offer a unique analogy likening bunker shots to scooping a spider out of a pool, leaving listeners with practical advice for their next round of golf.

What happens when a teenager brings a set of Scottish bagpipes into the deep woods of the Olympic Peninsula — and something ancient answers back? In this electrifying and immersive episode, we hear from Jonathan, a first-time BFRO expedition attendee who joined his father and brother for four days of Bigfoot research outside Forks, Washington. What started as a graduation gift quickly turned into something far stranger, as they encountered power knocks, thermal sightings, massive footprints, and the unnerving feeling of being watched. You'll hear how a unique sound experiment triggered an immediate response, what it's like to be followed in the forest, and why some researchers believe Bigfoot may mimic human footsteps to stay hidden. This episode is packed with eerie moments, raw emotion, and the kind of detail only a firsthand witness can deliver. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, you won't want to miss this unforgettable night in the woods.

How does a young Scotsman go from struggling actor and failed politician to internationally acclaimed (and knighted) historian? In a solo installment of GoodFellows, Sir Niall Ferguson, Hoover's Milbank Family Senior Fellow, discusses his academic journey, fellow historians he admires, keys to successfully multi-tasking through life, plus how he and his spouse, Hoover Research Fellow Ayaan Hirsi Ali (who also appears in this episode), are raising their two sons. Also discussed: Sir Niall's newfound passion for sailing, his non-Scottish attitude toward golf and fishing, why he doesn't see retirement as a viable lifestyle, plus the pride he takes in a music legend recently lauding him as the “Jimi Hendrix” of his profession.   Recorded on July 30, 2025.

In an act of selflessness, Sabrina celebrates Corinne's birthday with something extra heartwarming (but still extra haunted): paranormal pets. From booze-lapping ghost dogs to time-slipping kangaroos, this episode is full of strange encounters that prove animals are far more in tune with the supernatural that we are… We meet a spectral black spaniel haunting a Scottish manor (believed to be the former home owner reincarnated), a spectral bloodhound who shows up nightly to drink from a long-dry stream of liquor, and a ghost chicken who hates public displays of affection. There's also a pair of royal animal soulmates — a lion and a king who seemed to share a death date — and a truly unexplainable rash of phantom kangaroo sightings across the U.S. that defy logic, physics, and regional wildlife expectations. Plus, we've got a story from a listener whose dad may have reincarnated as a dog and then reunited with the family. Whether you believe in animal afterlives, cryptid creatures, or just love the idea of a “poultrygeist,” this episode is packed with heart, humor, and a healthy helping of hauntings.  Book Mentioned: Mysterious America by Loren Coleman Newspaper articles source: curator135.com Watch the video version here.
