Andy and Scott. Not Controversial

Society EN ↓ 26 episodes

"Fancy a virtual cuppa and a proper natter? Radio Days is where Andy and Scott invite you to drop in for a completely unplanned chat. No theme, no script - just two mates having the kind of free flowing conversation that starts with the weather and ends up who knows where. One minute we're talking about names of stuff , the next we're deep into books, music or film, that's just how it goes when friends get chatting. New episodes every week. Put the kettle on and join us for a proper chinwag. No pressure, no agenda, just good company."

Christmas Special: Sausages & Stories in Glencoe 14.12.2025

For their Christmas Special, Andy and Scott find themselves in the majestic—and slightly foreboding—Glencoe. Within that dramatic landscape, they tackle the season's big questions: the origins of our Christmas traditions and, much more importantly, the undeniable merits of wrapping bacon around a small sausage. It’s a festive special only they could deliver. www.flashfictions.com

Scott got a bit excited 07.12.2025

Andy treated Scott to a day he won’t forget at The Mound, in this favourite of our valued listeners, a classic plane spotting location near Prestwick Airport. For once, Scott is genuinely excited about something other than himself, while Andy shares his extensive expertise on not knowing very much about aviation. Join the boys as they find a way to get completely random, all without ever really le...

Sat Nat Sabotage...Encore 30.11.2025

This week, it's the much requested repeat of the when the boys eventually stumbled into Chatelherault Country Park, though certainly not thanks to Scott and his unique understanding of how road signs and sat navs actually work. It also did not help that Andy kept pointing in a certain direction, only to be completely ignored. Once they finally arrived, they learned a few proper facts about the par...

The Campsie Hills (An Almost History Lesson) — ENCORE 23.11.2025

Join us as we revisit an outing where our Scottish explorers boldly ventured a whole five minutes further than usual, landing themselves in the Campsie Hills where they accidentally uncovered more history than they bargained for. Armed with questionable expertise and unwavering confidence, they attempted to piece together the past while mostly just admiring the scenery. If you’ve ever wanted a cas...

Encore: Midges 16.11.2025

Relive the legendary quest where our intrepid explorers embarked on their boldest mission: getting coffee. Spoiler: they failed. You can blame car parks, fate, and the universe’s cruel sense of humour for this masterclass in "daring-don't" at Mugdock Park. If you're after heroic tales of triumph, this might still be the one for you—honest! So settle in and enjoy this fan-favourite tale of the nobl...

ENCORE ...Moffat in the Rain 09.11.2025

Back by popular demand! Andy and Scott's legendary trip to Moffat returns for an ENCORE. Relive the hilarious tales of daring "don't" and the "maybe, kind of factual" history of that rainy Scottish town you loved the first time around. www.flashfictions.com

The Seaside Send-Off 02.11.2025

It’s our Season 2 finale! For this special 20th episode, our boys head east to the beautiful Portobello. Do they mark the occasion with a flawlessly researched, deeply insightful historical tour? Well… let’s just say their fact-checking technique remains distinctly flexible. Will they weave a rich tapestry of local lore, or will you just hear the gentle sound of a Wikipedia page being read aloud?...

Stirling Castle ( from the car park) 26.10.2025

After Bannockburn, our boys set their sights on Stirling Castle… and decided the best view was from the car park. Between the admission cost and a sudden, deep appreciation for external architecture, they concluded that the real history was outside all along. So they did what they do best: they improvised. Join them for a budget-friendly tour of Stirling’s finest views, a mandatory visit to the gi...

Historic Gibberish 19.10.2025

This week's episode begins with a dramatic pre-battle: Scott, locked in a heroic struggle with his coat zip, desperately trying to free his car keys. It sets the tone beautifully for what follows. Once we finally get into the car, our historians-in-training take on a famous Scottish battle. Armed with good intentions and patchy research, they attempt to pay proper respect to a pivotal moment in hi...

Professional Parking In The Rain 12.10.2025

This week, our daring duo bring their unique brand of cultural tourism to Johnstone town centre. Fresh from a truly satisfactory weekly coffee, they set up their mobile broadcasting unit (the van) right outside the library, ready to drink in the local history. And by "drink in," we of course mean "sit in the van while the rain hammers down."Scott, for once, was more than happy to let Andy's profes...

A Van With A View (if you squint) 05.10.2025

This week, our intrepid explorers aimed high – literally. Their mission was simple: stand at a point where four historic Scottish counties meet (Renfrewshire, Lanarkshire, Ayrshire, and Dunbartonshire) and take in the breathtaking views. The reality? They took in the breathtaking rain. So, once again, the adventure unfolded from the trusted confines of the van. Expect the usual blend of half-remem...

Jaws, Jokes & Just One Fact 28.09.2025

This week, our lazy adventurers have truly excelled themselves by actually managing to find Strathclyde Park with minimal difficulty. Yes, you read that right – they didn’t get lost. Look forward to one whole factual nugget (they’re getting weirdly good at this one fact per episode thing), another of Scott’s stories that absolutely doesn’t impress Andy (okay, maybe a little), and the usual complet...

Scott’s Sat Nav Sabotage 21.09.2025

This week, the boys eventually stumbled into Chatelherault Country Park, though certainly not thanks to Scott and his unique understanding of how road signs and sat navs actually work. It also did not help that Andy kept pointing in a certain direction, only to be completely ignored. Once they finally arrived, they learned a few proper facts about the park, and Andy took the opportunity to remind...

Plane Speaking at The Mound 14.09.2025

Andy treats Scott to a day he won’t forget at The Mound, a classic plane spotting location near Prestwick Airport. For once, Scott is genuinely excited about something other than himself, while Andy shares his extensive expertise on not knowing very much about aviation. Join the boys as they find a way to get completely random, all without ever really leaving the topic of planes. www.flashfictions...

A Rain Soaked Misadventure in Troon 07.09.2025

Our intrepid hosts found themselves and their gear truly put to the test in a rain drenched trip to Troon. Forced to record from the van, they faced their greatest foe yet: the Scottish weather. Scott’s decidedly average tech may have met a soggy fate, threatening the very future of the podcast and disappointing our many, tens of fans. Will the equipment survive? Will the show go on? Tune in for d...

Kelpies, Knowledge & A Whole Lot of Wingin' It 31.08.2025

In this exciting season opener, we finally discover just how much Scott really knows about Kelpie lore (spoiler: he’s mostly winging it). Meanwhile, Andy showcases his… extensive knowledge about… well, not very much. Oh, and stick around for some highly technical post-production chat (or, as we like to call it, “two guys pressing buttons until the beeping stops”).So buckle up it’s equal parts myth...

Series Finale: Back to Where It (Should've) Began 24.08.2025

Don’t panic—Series 2 starts next week! But first, our intrepid misadventurers finally make it to the location they meant to visit in Episode 2. Better late than never, right? This time, they reflect on their radio days, share stories from the past, and—of course—manage to miss low-flying fighter jets over Loch Katrine (because why record the cool stuff when you can just describe it poorly later?)....

The Campsie Hills (An Almost History Lesson) 17.08.2025

This week, our Scottish explorers boldly venture a whole five minutes further than usual, landing themselves in the Campsie Hills where they accidentally uncover more history than they bargained for. Armed with questionable expertise and unwavering confidence, they attempt to piece together the past while mostly just admiring the scenery. If you’ve ever wanted a casually informative ramble that’s...

Midges 10.08.2025

This Week’s (Mis)Adventure Our intrepid explorers set out on their boldest quest yet: getting coffee. Spoiler: they failed. Blame car parks. Blame fate. Blame the universe’s cruel sense of humour. Location: Mugdock Park. Vibe: "Daring-don’t."If you’re after heroic tales of triumph, well this ma still be the one for you, honest! If you enjoy the noble struggle of everyday life (with bonus complaini...

Questions Questions 03.08.2025

Andy and Scott venture into the lovely lochside village of Luss, where the only thing sharper than the scenery is their ability to dodge talking about it entirely. This week’s distractions include: 🤯 Two massive life questions—ones so revealing, we refuse to name them here. (Fine, one might ruin cinema for you forever. The other? Let’s say… choose wisely.) 🗺️ A valiant effort to mention Luss—like...

Albert and Ozzy 27.07.2025

oin Andy and Scott—two intrepid explorers with the survival skills of a damp crisp packet—as they embark on an epic, hour-long odyssey to reach the historic Perthshire town of Crieff. Once there, they do what they do best: sit down, vaguely reference the town’s past, and veer wildly off-topic. In this episode: 🚽 Andy’s brush with death in a caravan park toilet block (spoiler: it wasn’t the toilet...

Not Orange County 20.07.2025

"This week, the boys find themselves in the picturesque coastal town of Irvine. They’ll be reminiscing about romantic walks (with others, not each other) and celebrating Irvine’s world-famous sons and daughters. Expect nostalgia, laughs, and maybe even a little local legend along the way!" www.flashfictions.com

The Saltcoats Conurbation. 2 out of 3 ain't bad 13.07.2025

"Your not-so-intrepid adventurers embark on a journey to the far-flung shores of Saltcoats this week, where tales of salt-panning lore, nostalgic summer school trips, and unexpected twists await. Expect the usual chaos—just with a salty twist!" www.flashfictions.com

Moffat in the Rain 06.07.2025

Andy and Scott once again go to a wee toon in Scotland to discuss the best of it and well, just the best of it and a lot of other things that have nothing to do with the wee toon they visit, Enjoy their tales of daring don't and the maybe, kind of factual history of rainy Moffat. www.flashfictions.com

Off On A Wander 29.06.2025

We meant to talk about travel… but then this happened."Quirky Description: Join Scott and Andy as they wander through the charming streets of Paisley (sort of) and their chaotic minds. What starts as a travel chat quickly spirals into tangents, absurd detours, and the kind of conversations you’d have after one too many cups of coffee (or something stronger). Whether they’re lost in history, lost i...
