The Brass Neck Podcast

If you’re a Glaswegian, you either have a brass neck or you know someone who does. On The Brass Neck Podcast, I’m reclaiming the phrase as the badge of honour it should be, sitting down each week with artists, grafters, and bold characters who’ve had the nerve to chase something bigger than themselves. We talk about where it all started, the fight it took to keep going, and what happens when you’re brave enough to give it a go.STAY BRASS NECKED & FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIAInsta: https://www.instagram.com/glasgowjester69/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL835ICVt5Lt3QzZEWdTwirjdWxjoabEkwFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GlasgowJesterCONTACT USWeb: brassneckpodcast.comEmail: hello@brassneckpodcast.com

Unsung Podcast

If there was a definitive discography of classic albums, what should be in it? Hosts Mark Fraser and Chris Cusack, plus the occasional guest, discuss and dissect perceived classic albums to decide which albums would make this list. We also interview amazing artists, do genre deep dives and throw a journalistic lens on musical topics you might not know much about.

Read Our Lips: A F**king & Filthy Book Podcast

Read Our Lips is the filthy little book club that got drunk, lost its dignity, and wandered into the wild world of spicy fiction.Every week, hosts Gayle, a brave newcomer discovering that books can be considerably less wholesome than advertised, Rebecca, a seasoned connoisseur of cliterature, and Mathew, a brutally honest reader armed with strong opinions and a low tolerance for s**t, tackle a quarter of the same gloriously unhinged novel.Together they dissect every raised eyebrow, every questionable life choice, every ridiculous trope, every accidental emotional breakdown, and every chapter that leaves them staring into the middle distance wondering how things escalated quite so quickly.Part book club, part group therapy session, part investigation into what exactly possesses people to write these stories, Read Our Lips dives deep into forbidden fantasies, morally questionable love interests, suspiciously wealthy men, devastatingly attractive disasters, and enough tension to short-circuit a Kindle.Whether they're swooning, cringing, cackling, blushing, or questioning the structural integrity of the furniture described in a particular scene, the gang explores why spicy books inspire such passionate reactions and why no two readers ever seem to experience them the same way.You don't need a literature degree. You don't need prior experience. You don't even need to know your enemies-to-lovers from your billionaire-with-trauma. Just grab the book, read along at a human pace, and join three increasingly unhinged hosts as they descend chapter by chapter into romance, chaos, lust, heartbreak, and the occasional moment of genuine literary merit.It's smut. It's analysis. It's cultural commentary. It's oversharing.And frankly, some of these authors have a lot to answer for.Recorded at The Variety Bar Glasgow for No Mean Radio.

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 26 With Robert & May Miller - Have Another Biscuit Father & Ignore that Monkey. There aren’t many performers who can claim to have entertained generations of people and there are even fewer who are still going strong after 50 years! I knew about them long before I ever met them because their names are legendary in the city of Glasgow. You name a place, they’ve gigged there and they’ll have stories to go with it. Their latest stop? The Variety Bar! Every city has characters but my city has legends and these two deserve that title more than anyone I’m Jack Jester. This is the Brass Neck Podcast and my guests today are… Robert and May Miller!

Exploring the Magickal History of Coil (Part 1) w/ P6 from OMO, Desalvo, Stretchheads and Security

Coil have a reputation for being genuinely difficult: ritualistic, transgressive, the kind of band you approach the way you'd approach a locked door marked "occult correspondence, keep out." So it's a bit disarming that this episode opens with hand-written Christmas cards from Jhonn Balance and Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson, sent to a teenage psychiatric nursing student in Paisley who wrote to them out of genuine fandom. Coil, it turns out, wrote back. The student in question is Phil Eaglesham, or P6 as he is perhaps better known, formerly of Desalvo, Stretchheads and currently of OMO and Security. He's returning after breaking our brains once already with Cabaret Volatire, and this time he's turned up armed with decades of correspondence, first-hand context, and a refusal to let Coil calcify into myth. We trace the band from Jhonn Balance's teenage letters to Throbbing Gristle, through Psychic TV and the deliberately porous, ceremony-blurred confrontation of early industrial music, into the Temple of Psychic Youth and its uncomfortably close relationship to actual cult structure. We get into the brass dildos sent to record labels as a two-fingered thank-you-for-nothing. We get into AIDS-era queer culture, MDMA, and the particular kind of self-medicating grief that eventually caught up with Balance. And we get into why a band this steeped in the esoteric and apocalyptic was, underneath it, trying to build something more human and more DIY than the mysticism suggests. Jhon Balance himself suggested that Coil would forgotten within ten years after their end. They weren't. Whether that's a triumph of the work outlasting the intent, or proof that even planned obsolescence can't out-manoeuvre a good back catalogue, is something you can decide for yourselves. And we'll give you a bit of time to do that, because there's a whole second episode of this still to come next week.
