Tuna Boot

Help! It's been A Hard Day's Night and though I Feel Fine, I Want to Hold Your Hand as Dougal (the aspiring Paperback Writer) gives us a Ticket to Ride on the Long and Winding Road of his version of Yesterday. Since Jim gave us Fight Club: 2029 (signed by Jim "From Me to You"), Dougal has been working Eight Days a Week to Get Back to Something a little more honest and a little more Beatles. So let...

This week's a big one for all of us here at Tuna Boot as not only do we get to record together again, but also our year anniversary has crept up on us leaving Jim befuddled. Happy Birthday to us and a big shout out to all the listeners who have stuck with us thus far! Expect a fantastic episode this week as Jim has knocked it out of the park and written the boys a quiz based on our favourite hango...

A return to Talk Aboot where we swap stories, ideas, nonsense and I think a fact might have snuck into this episode. Album Recommendation of the Week: Chante Dylan - Hugues Aufray (1965) We kick off by talking about living through historic times and a moment of sincerity is reached before tuck shops are brought up. At which point our favourite childhood confectionary is the more heavily discussed...

We are celebrating both the start of Season 4 and our 50th episode! These milestones could only be commemorated with an episode in which we rate fish. That is what has happened. That's what this is.

Liam (Tuna Boot) and James (various other things probably) present to you the pilot episode of a brand spanking new podcast - Franchisability! This episode encompasses all the things we will try to do in the full-ass podcast but squished into one elongated sitting. We took a fair crack at it, enjoyed the outcome and were excited to see how we can develop it in the near future. For now sit back, re...

Jim from Tuna Boot and Danny from Second Opinion Movie Podcast! What is this? A crossover episode? No, but it is a preview episode of the podcast called Quixotic Mavens which they have done together. You can find it anywhere you listen to Tuna Boot. Just to be safe here's a link it on Acast: https://aca.st/efdf60 Quixotic Mavens is the home of all things beautiful, interesting and boldly half-reme...

Tuna Boot returns with a special few episodes as the boys build themselves up for the epic epic-ness that will be Season 4! So here we are with the first of our specials titled: Don't Look Back With Anchors. In this special the boys go back to the seedy depths of Season 1, through to the rose tinted nights of Season 2 and finally ending at last weeks thrilling conclusion to the rollercoaster that...

Album Recommendation of the Week: Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space - Spiritualized (1997) It's time for the Frankenstein's Monster of an episode which is Jim's Music History. After the technical failure of Jim technically failing to podcast well - we have this very crafty version of the episode. Basically Jim deleted his side of the episode and he has spliced himself into the rest of...

This week on Tuna Boot the boys have a look at the visual side of music, having selected music videos that they deemed interesting. Were they? Well you'll have to listen to find out ;) Our sponsor this week Oran seems has started a small side venture during the pandemic, much like our old sponsor MJ Supplies, though Oran's business definitely has more heart (as well as lungs, kidneys and livers)....

This episode is sponsored by Jim. Listen to the episode for more details. Liam and Dougal are back again as Jim couldn't make it. You can hear all about his most recent technical debacle at the start of the episode. After which the lads discuss idioms before detailing the blood-soaked nightmarish-hell-scape that is working in retail. Then on to craft beer, a new form of capitalism and the phrase t...

This week's episode seems to be lacking in Jim-ness as his internet went on the fritz. Liam and Dougal try their best to pick up the pieces by touching on the controversial topic of indoor-wear, the correct definition of a guilty pleasure and the end it all off the family classic "The Muppet Show" is reimagined by our funny boys. We hope you enjoy the episode. www.facebook.com/tunaboot Instagram:...

This week on Tuna Boot Captain Dougal takes us on a journey all the way back to 2002 when we were all aged in single digits, an old friend makes a reappearance and Jim.. well Jim does what Jim does best - Jim things. This week's sponsor is as of yet a mystery to us... but I'm sure it will come up within the first 10 mins of the episode. And if that's enough to entice you, maybe hit like and subscr...

Here's the second part of Dougal and Jim's remembering session. This episode focuses on the two years when they were both sharing a flat in Edinburgh, before Jim moved into his current flat - which is five minutes away. Tales of drinking beer in pubs. Tales of drinking beer in the flat and chucking paper at Darth Vader. Tales of punching close friends in the jaw. Tales of drinking beer at noon aft...

This week's episode is sponsored by Henderson's Anything Store - "We Don't Know What's In There!" With Liam still out hunting sponsors (Henderson's won't last) Dougal and Jim decided to take a walk down memory lane. They reminisce about when they met way back in 2012, at Aberdeen College and the years that followed. There was loads to cover so it's mainly sporadically told and half-remembered even...

Album Recommendation of the Week: Welcome Ever Smiles by Sixteen12 (2018) This week's episode is both without sponsorship or our good pal Liam. Our sponsors haven't been working out so Liam has valiantly gone out in search of a viable company to fill the slot...We wish him the best of luck. In the meantime, Dougal and Jim have recorded a couple of episodes including this instalment of Talk Aboot....

This is the last of our Backtracks episodes. In which we each pick two tunes/artists from our Before the Podcast Playlist and take the opportunity to discuss them. This week's episode is sponsored by Iannson's Interference. Providing low level humming and/or beeping noises to podcasts. We hope you enjoy their handiwork. A huge thank you is in order. On the date this episode is being uploaded Tuna...

This weeks Tuna Boot is brought to you by Peter's Pink Salt Lamps, now available to be licked! It's time for our second round of music histories with our very own Liam. It's Jim's turn this week to interview Liam about the music that has shaped his life and turned him into the lover of music we see today. Expect some silly laughs, some lovely thoughts and a good few moments where Liam rambles almo...

This weeks podcast is brought to you by Bin's Buckets and Bins. The three Tuna Booters return to the music this week as we create the ultimate break up playlist. There are many laughs, tears and interesting stories, as well as a Shakespearean feud between Bins and Trash. The tracks this week are: Love is Blindness - U2 The First Cut is The Deepest - Cat Stevens/Yusuf Last Orders - Nothing but Thie...

Into My Arms (Cover) by Band of Horses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGryMDNt3ps Album Recommendation of the Week: Maggot Brain by Funkadelic (1971) So this is more of a vocal collage than our more structured podcast episodes. We do bits and bobs in this one. It's a hodgepodge...A chatty casserole, if you like. Firstly we discuss the music and movies that we enjoyed from last year. Some new rel...

Welcome to our first show of 2021! This week we decided to bring back the world famous Talk Aboot with very special guest, Dougal. This week we discuss everything from chickens to mars bars, as we bring in the new year in style. Settle down and get your ear holes ready for some dynamite talk. Happy New Year from the three of us! Thanks for continuing to listen. Stay Safe, Much Love, Scoosh Scoosh...

It's another theme week for the Tuna Boot team, and this week we got lyrical. Jim asked the boys to find their favourite lyrics and then we discuss them as hard as we can. Expect the same level of nonsense but with some interesting discussions on lyrics. Also, crabs are mentioned more than once. Let's just say it's poetic. The tracks this week are: Round 1: Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Leonard...

What a time to be alive, Tuna Boot have embraced the Christmas spirit to bring you this very special episode. This week Jim was busy being moody about Christmas so we got his very pleasant alter-ego Ebe S-Dawg in to see if we could make him feel the Christmas joy. Be prepared for Christmas songs, Christmas adverts and a little bit of Christmas spirit. There's also Sleigh bells. The Tunes this week...
