A Scottish Podcast About Scotland! We're back for a one off Christmas Special! The allure of the new Hallmarkesque movie Christmas in Scotland was too much to keep us away.

A Scottish Podcast About Scotland! Hello folks! We are very sorry about the past few weeks, it's been a bit hectic here in TDN land, but we were finally able to meet and record the fabled episode 100. Don't get too excited, it's a bit of a rambly shambles, but it has new songs, a quiz, Scottish news and a lot of navel gazing. We edge ourselves, each other, but most of all we edge the readers! Thank you all for going on this journey with us, we truly did not deserve our readers. Love, hugs and kisses to you all!

A Scottish Podcast About Scotland! Finally we get round to talking about the greatest drink on the planet. Scotland's best export! Unfortunately, seeing as we don't like to make it easy for ourselves we decided to do an A-Z of whisky.... So pop a cork, get some water on the side and settle in with a Mountain Dew chaser as you listen to this week's episode of Thistle Do Nicely.   Sláinte CONTACT: Instagram: thistledopod Twitter: @thistledopod Facebook: www.facebook.com/thistledopod Email: [email protected] website: https://www.thistledonicelypod.com/ Google Voicemail: 4844 TDN POD (484 483-6763) SOURCES: https://bevvy.co/whisky/isabellas-islay-single-malt-scotch-whisky/jwhy https://www.ft.com/content/10ff54be-e215-409e-ae4b-71e885ec03a8 https://www.wired.co.uk/article/pissky https://www.scotland.org/about-scotland/food-and-drink/whisky https://www.forbes.com/sites/karlaalindahao/2018/04/29/whisky-hunting-20-rare-and-incredibly-hard-to-find-whiskies-worth-the-investment/?sh=5a8a84d55f03 https://scotchwhisky.com/magazine/whisky-heroes/7852/the-pattison-brothers/ https://scotchwhisky.com/magazine/latest-news/18705/macallan-1926-malts-fetch-world-record-1-2m/ https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/scotland-now/40-scotch-whisky-christmas-quiz-23188906 https://www.thesingleton.com/ https://www.foodandwine.com/news/macallan-81-year-old-scotch-oldest-ever-reach https://whiskyforeveryone.blogspot.com/p/z-whisky-glossary.html https://scotchwhisky.com/magazine/features/20215/10-of-the-world-s-weirdest-whiskies/ https://www.mantelligence.com/most-expensive-scotch-whisky/  Campbeltown Loch by Andy Stewart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb_P46gNf_k Epic Trailer by LesFM | https://lesfm.net/ Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

A Scottish Podcast About Scotland!   It's part two of our consideration of Bonnie Prince Charlie and his legacy of a Scottish legend or an Italian coward. We try to figure out if he was the plucky underdog who came home to fight the English or a spoilt brat who's hubris  caused the deaths of many impressionable Scots.

A Scottish Podcast About Scotland!   This week is very indulgent. We are joined by friend of the pod David Lawrence from the Scrum of the Earth podcast to talk about our favourite movie of all time So I Married An Axe Murderer starring scotophile Mike Myers who is playing duel roles as the love struck and confused Charlie and Charlie's hilariously Scottish father Stuart Mackenzie. Not going to lie folks, this is just a quote fest, but we had a lot of fun discussing this one, so hopefully you'll have fun listening!   Sláinte CONTACT: Instagram: thistledopod Twitter: @thistledopod Facebook: www.facebook.com/thistledopod Email: [email protected] website: https://www.thistledonicelypod.com/ Google Voicemail: 4844 TDN POD (484 483-6763) SOURCES:  https://www.scotsman.com/arts-and-culture/theatre-and-stage/stars-who-made-it-big-edinburgh-fringe-846297 https://www.thefreelibrary.com/POWERS+OF+SCOTLAND%3B+Mike+Myers+scoffed+free+meals+in+the+TV+studio...-a060512084 https://www.thenational.scot/news/20188636.actor-mike-myers-chose-scottish-accent-shrek/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Myers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_I_Married_an_Axe_Murderer https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108174/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 The La's There she goes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kptp9SmM5Y https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/scottish-soccer-hooligans/2868175 So I Married An Axe Murderer (1993) Dir.

A Scottish Podcast About Scotland! This week we look back at the incredible and inspiring and bonkers story of Susan Boyle; the local singer who came on to the Britain's Got Talent stage in 2009 looking "old", "frumpy", "weird" and many other unflattering adjectives, only to blow the judges, the audience and the world away. After her appearance she became the biggest ever viral sensation to hit social media. Her rise to fame was devastatingly fast, having an impact on her mental health and well being, but ultimately changing her life forever, while giving her the influence to big time Obama! We also discuss how she got some of her terrible nicknames. If you hear some atmospheric rumblings in this episode it's because Chris was recording in a storm. It only adds to the drama of Su Bo's incredible life and career.  Sláinte CONTACT: Instagram: thistledopod Twitter: @thistledopod Facebook: www.facebook.com/thistledopod Email: [email protected] website: https://www.thistledonicelypod.com/ Google Voicemail: 4844 TDN POD (484 483-6763) SOURCES:   https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/dec/08/susan-boyle-autism Susan Boyle: An Unlikely Superstar (2011) dir.
