April 17, 2015 15:47OK, message well and truly received - You want us back! Well, kind of anyway. It's been pretty interesting logging back in and having a swatch at iTunes and so on, as it reveals that despite not having recorded a new episode for a number of years now, we're still at least the most popular podcast in Glasgow. What that says about Glasgow podcasts I'll leave to you! Anywho, at the moment we're delighted that you're still out there downloading and listening to our total drivel, and the two o...
Is anybody in there?...
October 10, 2014 13:52So here's the thing: You'll see that we finished up our little tragic podcast in 2010. It's now closing in on the end of 2014. That's four years later. "What's the relevance of that", you ask? Well I'll tell you, seeing as how you asked. It's just that, even though we've not gone near a microphone for about four long years, you wacky folk are still downloading the last one we did. Even more weirdly you're also still downloading the other pointless episodes we spewed out into the ether. I ...
The Twenty Sixth: "Ressurection"
December 01, 2010 06:44The Twenty Sixth: "Resurrection". After a short break of one year, we're back. This time around there's no songs, no jingles, no social networking, all of it put to one side to make way for even more of our "unique" brand of "comedy" banter. After a year of heavy research we've enough material at the very least to celebrate St. Andrew and his pretty ironic cross, and on the subject of crosses, call for the crucifixion of some Scottish referees. Back with a vengeance are the usual reviews a...
Surely not...
November 29, 2010 11:22Err, is it too much to expect this time? Looking at that last post, you'll have noted that quite some time ago now, we'd had a vague thought that we'd be hitting the ol' podcast trail once again, but that ultimately, we never managed to do it. (he says tentatively) We may be recording the first of the new series tomorrow night. Stay on your guard...
The Comeback
February 09, 2010 08:37What you're about to read could very well be described as the most earth shattering announcement since Ghandi was shot: On Tuesday, 16th February in the Year of Our Lord 2010, Alan and I will be dusting off the microphone, shuffling ourselves in front of my porn-laden laptop, fixing each other's flaxen hair, and firing ourselves up for the fire crackling Second Series of our little For the Love of G...lasgow podcast. Expect the expected, in other words the usual tragic nonsense, because aft...
Arrabest
December 21, 2009 11:33Well that's it for another year. We're signing off for 2009 and the end of the first decade of the 21st Century. You'll be glad to know that we'll be back again next year for a second series of purile nonsense, lots of empty chat about nothing, basically more of the same rubbish you've come to hate us for. I'm waiting to get delivered a wee fandangly bit of hardware that'll allow us to video our pointless diatribe and post it onto iTunes and all the other places we shouldn't be allowed, so...
A break's a break for aw that!
November 30, 2009 13:13Just a wee note here to let you know that we're taking a wee break from the podcast. Call it the end of The First Series: "Bored" if you wish, but we're both concentrating on our respective solo projects for a bit. I'm doing a new podcast called Glasgow Generations with my Dad, and Alan's planning something far more exciting which I'm not allowed to tell you yet! We hope to end the first series by doing a wee video to tie things up, well, that is, once I work out how to do a wee video to t...

The Twenty Fifth: "Bushmonkey"
November 04, 2009 10:47The Twenty Fifth: "Bushmonkey". 'This is it', as they famously say. After an honest fortnight's break comes our Quarter of a Century Episode, and to celebrate we take you painstakingly through a 12-part quiz (well, 12-ish anyway) on how our pointless little show has changed the world since it was yanked screaming from a womb barren, oh so barren of classic gold comedy. Featured in this one is much insightful nonsense on crazy millionaire Marlon King, the toothloined Mohandas Karamchand Gha...
Once more unto the beach?
October 30, 2009 08:34Naw, because we're back from our break and (provided I can bend Alan's arm enough tonight) we should be recording the new episode of the podcast on Tuesday. Mark my word, it'll be our best yet. When I say "mark my word" though, that actually means "totally ignore me as I'm talking nonsense". Why not have a final listen to the 24th in the meantime. It'll be the best thing you do all day. And when I say "it'll be the best thing you do all day"...
A commendable work ethic?
October 07, 2009 09:01OK, so today's when you would normally expect to be able to download the new episode of the show. However, because of some unforeseen circumstances including, but not limited to, Alan having done zero preparation for the show over the weekend by dint of his recently incessant booze-craziness, and my having no voice whatsoever following a knock-out dose of the man-flu, I'm afraid you'll just have to wait a little longer for The Twenty Fifth. I'm actually due to head off to Portugal for a qui...

The Twenty Fourth: "Rats"
September 23, 2009 05:40The Twenty Fourth: "Rats". As we wind down our first full day in cyberspace (OK, so that's sweeping to one side the fact that most of our shows last less than an hour, so really, even though this is the 24th episode, there's not been 24 hours worth of material, certainly not comedy material anyway, and also the fact that for each of these 24 episodes it's taken us at least 8 solid hours of yapping, weeping and editing to get the show down to less than an hour, so really for us, taking all ...
Our first celebrity listener
September 21, 2009 12:30So we'll be recording again tomorrow night, barring any untimely deaths or inexplicable rashes, and the next episode of the show will be ready for your ears on Wednesday. It promises to be a shorter one this time, with the unpolished, unabashed feel of unpreparedness, but at the very least if you download it you'll be sure to find out the identity of our first celebrity listener. At this point, and to keep your anticipation teetering on the edge of its no doubt anxiety-laden chair, I won't ...

The Twenty Third: "Eurotripped"
September 09, 2009 05:46The Twenty Third: "Eurotripped". We're back refreshed from a non-earned break, that is, a break that wasn't earned, and to drill home the point we've come up with our first show for a while lasting more than an hour. Yup, that's one full hour of pure, unadulterated comedy. You'll find it packed to the nines with Alan's important lessons from his trip to Europe and around Glasgow, the death of a Kennedy Dynasty and British Justice following the capture of Big Bob Megrahi, an unforgetable poem...
Drums and Rolls Please
September 03, 2009 07:40Yes, the moment you may have dreaded the most in the last few weeks - the day has come to announce that in fact, despite many having demanded it, we've not met a gruesome, untimely death. Alan's now back fresh and refreshed from his wallet-wearying Eurotrip, and I'm absolutely ecstatic at the thought of ending my brief adjournment in social networking. We'll be recording the new episode of the podcast next week, hopefully on Tuesday so it should be available to download on Wednesday. As you...

The Twenty Second: "Rosie"
August 12, 2009 05:39The Twenty Second: "Rosie". With the greatest of thanks to Audacity, that most wizard of editing tools, and to Our Rosie, the winner of our last competition to whom this show is now dedicated (and who's definitely better than a convicted murderer), comes a brandly spanktuous new episode of this most tragic of podcasts. We wonder this time at the bold attempt by Fagan to force Oliver into swindling MJ's Paris, give praise to the passing of Patch Adams and Last Tommy Lee, and as always, spew ...
Wait for it...wait for it...
August 03, 2009 11:23Just in case you didn't get the message on our Facebook Group and are wondering when the next show will be available, due to some unforeseen circumstances we won't be recording the Twenty Second until 11th August, so it should be available to download the next day. So please keep all the comments and emails coming in and if you've not entered the Twenty First Competition yet, well, you'll be like most of our other listeners! Feel free to listen to the last show over and over again until the...
A year down the line...
July 28, 2009 09:38...and look what we've achieved. Erm. Yeah, so anyway, this week marks a whole year we've been doing this whole For the Love of G...lasgow podcasting debacle. Our first post on this most tragic of blogs was on 31st July last year, and the first episode went out a few weeks later. Since then we've recorded another 20 shows in an almost fortnightly fervour of aimless comedic proportion. Doesn't time pass when you're having fun, eh? Aye, and you guessed it - it's dragged in for us! Over t...
The Twenty First: "Moonings"
July 19, 2009 19:43The Twenty First: "Mooning". Sorry about the late show due to the Springsteen and subsequent swine flu, but you can rest assured that this one was worth the wait. In our longest show for a while, we lament the passing of a national hero, review the new Frank Bruno Movie, the audio-described Transformers: Revenge of the Falling Earth Movie, the Hermione's Development Movie, and some place called Ketchup. We also debate the truth of the moon landings, whether Alan should be renamed Captain B...
Bruce Springsteen in Glasgow and some snotty apologies
July 15, 2009 08:35We were due to have been recording the new show tonight, a day late as I was at the Bruce Springsteen gig at Hampden Park Glasgow last night, but I've woken up feeling not unlike a poorly swine flu victim - snotty, sneezy, weak, over-reacting. So I'm afraid we've pushed back the 21st episode to Sunday, and it should be available to download on the same day. In the meantime, keep the comments and emails coming in ([email protected]), and as soon as the blood disappears...
I'm 90% Hetero!!!
July 14, 2009 12:36I knew it! I just totally knew it!! I told you not to listen to Alan and his views on my sexuality. Now who's laughing?!! I took the Stockholm Pride test you can do until 2nd August, and it analyses your Twitter feed to check your use of words most likely used by, well, non-heteros. And look at that! Alan might comment that most of what I do online is "Gay!", but there's the proof! There's the proof! - Right there! Eh? Eh? Aye. I'm off to convince my parents.
It's competition time
July 09, 2009 09:20We'll soon be recording our 21st show, and to thank all the new listeners who've flocked to us since we've been listed by iTunes as a featured comedy podcast, as well as all those who've been with us for a while, on the new show we'll be introducing The Twenty First Competition. Sounds interesting, doesn't it? Well OK, so maybe it doesn't. God you guys are so hard to please! So here's the thing. Tune in to our next show which should be available a week today (I'll remind you nearer the tim...
The Twentieth: "Lionel"
July 01, 2009 08:17The Twentieth: "Lionel". To be honest, it was supposed to be called "Michael", but you'll soon see why that wouldn't have been entirely appropriate. In our first landmark show we cycle furiously through our place in the history of iTunes, our thoughts on Wacko Jacko, Farrah Fawcett and Not Dead Goldbloom, and come to rest in Wimbledon & the coronation of Sir Andy Murray. There's also some anti-racism thrown in for giggles, a premature review of a floating Glasgow restaurant, a disappointi...
The show must go on
June 29, 2009 07:33Michael is no longer with us, but we'll place our devastation to one side and press on in his honour. Our 20th show will be recorded tomorrow night and should be available to download by Wednesday. I'm not sure what we'll be talking about, and suspect that it might end up being just a 50 minute silence. Either way, I'll Be There and so will Alan. Eh? ...Eh? ... Eh? ... Aye.
Rest in Peace Michael
June 26, 2009 07:52All jokes aside here - I'm absolutely gutted. Music taste has always been subjective - you either like the sound of something or you don't, and everyone's free to choose what to listen to. I've also taken the view that when it comes to numbers, record sales and downloads can never be relied on to prove that a band or musician has talent or not. That said, sometimes numbers don't lie. In this era of music, when 2 million sales or downloads can make you the biggest selling artist of the year...
