Formed in 2016, the four-piece band consists of Jack Cochrane (vocals/guitar), Joe McGillveray (guitar), Callum Wilson (bass), and Jordan Mackay (drums). Known for their infectious blend of indie rock and post-punk revival, they bring raw energy, poignant lyricism, and dynamic musical arrangements to the table. The Snuts made a significant splash with their debut album, ‘W.L.', released in 2021, which topped the UK Albums Chart, making them the first Scottish band in 14 years to achieve this feat with a debut album. Their work is distinguished by its evocative storytelling, where narratives of youth, love, and loss are enshrined in soaring choruses and rousing guitar riffs. They've managed to carve out a unique space in the contemporary rock scene, one that pays homage to the past while pushing boundaries in the present.

In this weeks podcast I am talking to Hannah Bardell, Member of Parliament for the Livingston constituency. Hannah is also one of my oldest friends and has been on quite a journey from a small-town in West Lothian to a prominent female politician. Along the way there have been highs and lows. Terrorist attacks on Parliament while she and her team were locked down inside, working from Westminster with all the challenges that brings, BREXIT and some inspiring work on deaths that happen abroad. In 2015, Hannah came out to her friends and family and in 2016 follow this up by doing so professionally. This month is LGBT history month and so I wanted to ask Hannah on the podcast to talk about the interface between psychology and politics, her experiences of coming out and what's next for her. This was such a fun yet insightful conversation. Hope you enjoy listening.

Nick and Joe are back a week later than planned because poor old Joe lost his voice. But thankfully it has returned just in time for him to belt out some carols and, more importantly but less seasonally, talk about the far-right on this podcast.It's a show full of big stories this week as the pair begin by treading familiar podcast terrain: the continued links between Patriotic Alternative and the extreme far-right, in this case the Nordic Resistance Movement - a properly nasty bunch.Next they move onto a big story that came courtesy of HOPE not hate: a fascist in the Tory Party down in Kent. They keep turning up there, though heavens knows why…HOPE not hate torpedoed another nazi Blood & Honour gig, this time up in Bathgate in West Lothian. It was going to be a big one, but it ended the same way as all the others - with lots of dejected nazis and a good chunk of money down the drain too. Finally the pair talk about Kanye “Ye” West's disturbing appearance on the Alex Jones show and his continued descent into vicious and violent antisemitism, before discussing no-platform and Twitter more broadly.If we don't get another one in before the end of the year then have a great Christmas, thanks for listening.X—Prod.

Ross Coutts is a man of many talents and one of his multiple roles is in local radio.

In this episode, Stephen Gallacher, 2014 Ryder Cup champion and European Golf Tour veteran, shares what he has learned about himself through his experiences playing professional golf for more than 20 years at the most elite level in the world. Stephen opens up and discusses not only his successes, but how he was also able to work his way through some challenging moments in his career that ultimately led to him being in the winner's circle again. Stephen speaks about defining moments in his career such as winning his first pro tournament in 2004 ( the Alfred Dunhill Cup), being a part of the European team that won the Ryder Cup in 2014, and his most recent victory, the 2019 Hero Challenge in India. We finish off this episode speaking about the legacy that Stephen hopes to leave on the game and the mission of the Stephen Gallacher Foundation which has given back so much to the game of golf in Scotland. Stephen's BioStephen James Gallacher is a Scottish professional golfer who plays on the European Tour. He was born in Dechmont, West Lothian and is the nephew of former European Ryder Cup captain Bernard Gallacher. He played in a victorious Walker Cup side in 1995 and turned professional later that year.He first played on the European Tour in 1996, but struggled to begin with. In 2000, however, he reached the top hundred on the Order of Merit for the first time, placing 56th. In 2004 he recorded his first win on the tour at the Dunhill Links Championship and finished the year ranked 15th on the Order of Merit.In February 2013, he ended a 201-tournament wait for his second victory on the European Tour, when he won the Omega Dubai Desert Classic by three strokes. He held the lead going into the final round after he shot his best career round of 62 on the European Tour in the third round. The win moved him back into the world's top 100.The following year, he defended his title with a one stroke victory at the 2014 Omega Dubai Desert Classic for his third European Tour victory. He is the first golfer to ever successfully defend the title. Five years after his title defense in Dubai, he won again on the European Tour by claiming the 2019 Hero Indian Open, India's premier event, with a birdie on the 18th, despite a quadruple-bogey on the 7th. His son Jack caddied for him during his win in India. Gallacher was picked as one of the three captain's picks by Paul McGinley for the 2014 Ryder Cup.Connect With Stephen:Website: https://www.sgfoundation.co.uk/Twitter: https://twitter.com/stevieggolfInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevieggolf/?hl=enSpecial thanks to Bronx based band Conversing with Oceans and Alex Bondarev for creating the podcast music.https://www.conversingwithoceans.com/Opening saxophone piece by Peter Diglin
