Hearts on Sleeves Podcast

It's 2026 and the boys are back to talk all things Hearts and beyond. There's a check-in, there's a challenge, there's a 6 points gap at the top. Mon the jambos.

It's a 2 hour festive feast with the editor of Hearts Standard, Joel (Noel?) Sked. We talk to him about his life supporting Hearts and his career in sports journalism. We then do a top 5 signings of the season so far, biggest surprise and disappointment as well as who is the most improved. Much like we should all do at this time, in amongst all the reflection, we also look forward!

It's a week where we won (connect) four points and not in the order we would have predicted. It was a lackluster performance followed by an exceptionally impressive performance. We look at where we went fairly wrong and where we went very right. On top of that there are two quizzes, loan watch, mental health check ins and occasional travel chess chat.

The boys start today's episode with a mental health check-in and discussion before reflecting on the issues facing Hearts just now. Much like life, there's some rough and there's smooth and there's a fork being kicked at John Collins.

Well, we made it a full 20 episodes before suffering our first defeat and to who else but the team we have the A90 agreement with where no visiting can ever be victorious, We reflect on the game but not before we welcome Motherwell superfan Chris McCorquodale onto the show to give us insights on our weekend's opponents.

If you like last minute winners, tales of snapped legs and Hearts based quizzes then you're in for a treat. Unless of course you're a Hibs fan in which case this episode will probably be akin to some form of torture. Mon the Gorgie.

As you may well be aware, it's derby week. So Jamie, Adam and John unlock some of those derby memories from the matches you may have forgotten about as they share some of their recollections and bring in some listeners' ones too. A few of the more unforgettable ones are discussed too of course. The Falkirk match is reviewed and the Hibs game is previewed. A wee quiz is thrown in for good measure.

Long time jambo, Davy Wilson, joins the boys and talks some of his memories from nearly 70 years of following Hearts before opening up on his grief journey; a topic that is very close to both Adam and John.

Only one way to find out.

A multiverse-esque crossover this week as Scarves Around the Funnel's Scott Mcintosh joins us on a one episode loan deal.

As the Summer transfer window closes, Jamie, Trunter, Adam and John go through all the dealings that have been made across the Summer with their verdict on each player and how they may (or may not) fit into the team.

Episode in memory of Alan McLaren.

Trunter's first away day in years and - naturally - it ends in defeat. He talks to Jamie and Adam about the journey there, both literal and mental.

Fair warning: a couple are absolutely honking.
