On this episode of the Hadriatic Divide, Ciaran and Poddy delve into the fascinating world of Shinty – Scotland’s unique national sport. The pair welcome back Gary Innes to the show to discuss his illustrious time as a player for club and country. They also hear from Roddy Cairns, captain of the Dunoon-Strachur Shinty Club (as well as being a wonderful stand-up comedian and man of many talents), and traipse all the way to a dreich Cowal peninsula to take in a game of shinty for themselves.
The couple partake in a fun shinty-related game of Ciaran’s design, but also go off on plenty of tangents, such as Alex Horne encounters, television show theme tunes, and trying to name all the Scottish top-flight football teams (and (spoiler) scandalously forgetting the existence of Motherwell).
Theme music (Throw Me a Penny) written by Ciaran and Gordon Whyte of Whyte Noise and recorded by Chris Waite at Gran’s House Studios.
Outro music composed by Gordon and Susan Whyte.
