NEW: JAM Mini Mix #314 - Discovery 102 'Dundee, Scotland' (1999) (Heartbeat)

Jolene Guthrie, founder of the knitwear fashion brand Jo-AMI (pronounced Jo Amy) joins me this week, talking about how you make knitwear cool, comfy and considered.

From internships and positions with the likes of Hayley Scanlan and Tom Pigeon to working with major fashion houses in London, Jolene has built a career rooted in hands-on experience and a deep love for knitwear. Why knitwear? She’s drawn to its magic—how and you can create a 3D piece from nothing but yarn. It also runs in the family with her great Aunt and Uncle owning Donbros Knitwear in Alloa in the 1960’s.

Jo-AMI began in the spare room of her mum and dad’s house in Dundee, using a 1960s Dubied knitting machine. That ‘studio’ has since grown, moving from WASPs to a shopfront in Douglas Court, and evolving into a brand that’s known for its considered, colourful, and unisex designs. Alongside running Jo-AMI, Jolene also works part-time at The Knit Shop, a micro-manufacturing factory in Dundee.

In this episode, we talk about the realities of building a creative business slowly and sustainably, how outsourcing her content to Greene Creatives has boosted sales and freed her up to focus on the making, and what it takes to scale without losing your core values.

Jolene Guthrie - Jo-AMI - Knitwear but not as you know it

This week I’m joined by Tom Metcalfe — interdisciplinary designer, researcher and educator.

Tom’s journey into design wasn’t linear — from rally driving to getting into product design at DJCAD through clearing at 21. Since then he's had a yo-yo relationship with Dundee.  From Dundee to London (via New Designers and Random International), then Bristol for 10 years and now back. Along the way, he’s developed a design practice rooted in place, interaction and thoughtful design.

We get into what it means to be a designer, the split between ways of seeing and ways of making and how design education really needs a shake up.

Fresh from a great day/night at the Granite City Weekender in Aberdeen my new mix.

Steve Barham's "Sazz in Search of Granite" Mix (June 2025)

Tracklist + Q&A: bit.ly/TheMix071HannahLaing

From Dundee with a doof, @hannahlaingdj takes us on a high-energy ride of bouncy techno, trance and pumping hard house for the latest edition of The Mix — a testament to the '90s rave sounds she grew up on.

“I’ve wanted to do a Mixmag mix for years, so I’m honestly buzzing to finally share this,” she says. “It’s unapologetically fast, euphoric, and full of character - exactly the kind of set I’d want to be on the dancefloor for.”

The Blair-era policy of turning students into cash cows and universities into business units has come crashing down. Having exposed Britain’s higher-education institutions ever more deeply to the world market, and stripped them of much of their excellence in the process, international students are now voting with their feet, preferring to head to new (and far cheaper) centres of excellence – China in particular.

Steve Barham - ETB (In His Memory) (10th September 2025)

This recording explores the ferry ships that crossed the River Tay from Fife to Dundee before the Tay Road Bridge opened in 1966.
From the first steamboat Union (1821–1836) to the last ferry Scotscraig (1951–1966), the Tay ferries evolved from wooden paddle steamers to diesel-powered vessels with Voith-Schneider propellers, designed to carry both passengers and vehicles safely across the often treacherous river.
Notable ferries include:
Union – first steamship, double-hulled wooden paddle steamer
Fifeshire (1858–1929) – first with a deck saloon, served 71 years
Forfarshire (1861–1893) – charter vessel, later served on the Forth and in WWI
Dundee (1875–1917) – first on scene at Tay Bridge Disaster
B L Nairn, Abercraig, Scotscraig (1929–1966) – later diesel ferries with car decks and advanced maneuverability
Passengers could travel on deck or in saloons, with tickets ranging from 1d to season passes. Weather conditions often tested the crews, from fog and storms to ice floes, and passengers often recall standing on deck in awe at the raw power of the river.
The Fifies remain a cherished memory for locals and visitors alike—providing both a practical transport link and a scenic escape from city life.

Ferry To Dundee before the Road Bridge

This recording brings together memories of the ferries that crossed the River Tay from Fife to Dundee, capturing voices from local people who travelled, worked, or had family connections to the service before the Tay Road Bridge opened in 1966.
For hundreds of years, ferries linked communities on both sides of the river. Early sailboats were often overcrowded, irregular, and unsafe, with fares changing daily and crossings delayed until boats were full. Following a tragic accident in 1815, regulation improved safety, with the Tay Ferry Trustees introducing reliable crews, regular sailings, and tickets.
The arrival of the first steamboat, Union (1821), marked the start of a new era. Subsequent ferries—Fifeshire, Forfarshire, Dundee, B L Nairn, Abercraig, Scotscraig—evolved from wooden paddle steamers to diesel-powered vessels capable of carrying passengers, vehicles, and even livestock. Many had saloons and deck promenades; passengers often preferred the fresh air of the upper deck, walking for exercise or simply enjoying the view.
The ferries faced all kinds of weather—fog, storms, snow, ice floes—and yet remained a lifeline for commuters, pleasure travellers, and locals. The final crossing on 18 August 1966 aboard the Scotscraig marked the end of an era, shortly after the Tay Road Bridge opened.
These recordings preserve the memories, stories, and sounds of the Tay ferries, keeping alive the voices and experiences of generations who knew the river before it was bridged.

Our Sonic Museum project will build an audio collection highlighting the cultural, human, and natural wealth, history, and diversity of communities across North East Fife and the East Neuk – a digital storehouse of land, sea and people stories. The Sonic Museum will allow collaborations with heritage, community groups and arts organisations, encourage community involvement, and allow people to learn new skills, produce podcasts, write, perform and explore their creativity.

Recent funding from the Community Learning and Development Device Fund managed by SCVO has led the charity to develop a new initiative called The Sonic Museum. A field recording lending resource (comprising 12 professional digital field recording kits) allows communities to explore the impact of sound on our lives, capture memories, nature soundscapes, songs and sonic postcards. Four pilots are underway with the Youth Ambassadors affiliated with Balmerino, Gauldry, Kilmany and Logie Community Council, St Andrews Heritage Museum and Garden, and volunteers from Kilmany Parish Hall in the remote village of Rathillet and the Hamlet of Collessie. 

We have also started a collaboration with the Fife Writes Charity, a peer support group for published and unpublished writers. This new collaboration will further enhance the Sonic Museum's content, allowing members to record spoken word, short stories, poetry, and audio plays that bring landscape, history, and heritage to life.
