    Episode 146 - Your Cheatin' Heart (1990)

    Get your cowboy boots on and do some moseying as we’re looking at the wonderful John Byrne penned show from 1990, Your Cheatin’ Heart. Starring the incredible Tilda Swinton and a host of Swally favourites in John Gordon Sinclair, Tom Watson, Ken Stott, Tom Watson, Katy Murphy, Tom Watson, Eddi Reader, Tom Watson, Peter Mullan and Tom Watson (see what we did there?)…it tells the tale of Country and Western music, drug deals gone wrong, bad fish suppers and prison breaks, all set in Glasgow and Aberdeen. In the news we take a trip on a ScotRail train, but end up joining the British Union of Fascists, meet a duck covered in milk on the subway, take a pee off the Wallace Monument and contemplate running away together to run a bookshop in Scotland.

    Episode 145 - Loch Ness (1996)

    We’re off to Loch Ness this week on The Swally as we look at the 1996 film…Loch Ness. Yes, that one starring Ted Danson and basically nobody Scottish. Discredited American anthropologist Jonathan Dempsey (Danson) arrives in Scotland to debunk the legend of the Loch Ness Monster, but his trip soon turns into so much more! In the news we take a trip down memory lane as we head to the various restaurants at Aberdeen Beach, join up on a Tartan Army booze cruise, hear about a man who had a brilliant Christmas in his flip flops and take a ride on a Bucking Bronco!     So join us for a Swally, on The Culture Swally!

    Episode 144 - Coldwater (2025)

    It’s our first proper episode of 2026! Have you missed us? This week we are heading to the sleepy town of Coldwater to join Andrew Lincoln, Ewen Bremner, Eve Myles and a whole host of Swally Favourites. John moves his family to a rural town and befriends neighbour Tommy, who is hiding dark secrets. John's fascination with Tommy grows as wife Fiona becomes suspicious, leading to dangerous unraveling of hidden truths and repressed anger. In the news we meet a couple of lads, who just want to quietly pleasure themselves in their cars, but get into a spot of bother, hear about a Scotsman who has gotten into a bit of trouble in Qatar, but his fellow countrymen haven’t been very sympathetic and attend a K-Flop concert in Aberdeen.    So join us for a Swally, on The Culture Swally!
