    A Disgusting Christmas in Scotland

    A Disgusting Christmas in Scotland

    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.

    We missed you dear readers, so I hope you heat up the mince pies,  brew up some hot chocolate with whipped cream, and coorie in with the Thistle Do Nicely Lads for some Christmas fun.

    Episode 100: Edge of Glory

    Episode 100: Edge of Glory

    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!

Laura Rispoli ,

Thank you for this brilliant and fun podcast!

I love you guys and love your podcast! Thank you so much! I found it while searching for Podcasts about Outlander, and after loving the episode about that, I listed to many more episodes, and loved them all. Lots of laughs and I like learning about Scotland and history in a really fun way. Love your voices too. I hope you will make more episodes, but thanks for all you’ve made already. I’ll be listening to those.

It’s Scottacular

Do yourself a favor and listen to the show. You won’t regret it I promise. It’s very funny . Your guaranteed, but not limited to four laughs per episode. It’s got it all history, culture , movies, music. You’ll learn a lot about Scotland. Like what’s Nessie up to. What does Iron-bru taste like. We’ll sort of, but not really. The fierce and noble saviors of Scotland the manatees. Does Rory ever get on blind date. When does a dog become a horse. What really happened to old McDonald.

Every episode is an absolute banger

Total comedy, total fun, love love love this podcast. Force it upon my friends any chance I get. Please keep making the show after the 100th episode. I’ve learned so much and have used several bits of information and recommendations to help plan a trip to Scotland. Thanks guys!
