S1 E10 • Trainspotting (1996)

“Yes! You fuckin’ DANCER!”

For the final episode of Season 1, Dave and Tom dive headlong into the toilet bowl, to discuss the sonic chaos of Trainspotting.

It's a collection of tracks where Britpop, techno, and existential dread collide in a haze of ‘90s brilliance. Highlights include tunes that made Iggy Pop cool (again), Blur the kings of ennui, and Underworld the sound of your worst/best night out. 

Expect the usual Witty Banter™ and a deep dive into why ‘Lust for Life’ feels like a caffeinated sprint through bad decisions.

Among the very high-brow discussion, find out why Children in Need (R.I.P Sir Terry Wogan) and Heather Small of M-People played such a massive part in bringing the songs into Dave and Tom's lives. Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprise!?

S1 E10 • Trainspotting (1996)

In this episode Russell is joined by Hannah Kitchen Kirby and Clare MacGillivray to discuss human rights and to provide a helpful insight into a right-based approach in practice. Between them they provide the lead pair of articles in IACD's March 2025 edition of Practice Insights which is dedicated to the theme of rights: 

https://www.iacdglobal.org/practice_insights

Hannah was until very recently working in Leith in Cables Wynd House, better known as the 'Banana Flats'. She explains how a rights-based approach was at the heart of efforts to secure investment into the housing. Edinburgh City Council recently announced Cables Wynd House and neighbouring Links View House will receive £69 million of investment, including the provision of lifts which had originally been omitted from plans but thanks to campaigning are now included (https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/cableswynd-linksview).

Clare MacGillivray from the organisation Making Rights Real, provides an overview of her work with Gypsy Travellers at Double Dykes near Perth.
