Bonus Scran - Scottish actor James Cosmo's 'Storyman' whisky and entertaining tales

On this special partner episode of Scran I am joined by legendary Scottish actor James Cosmo. In recent years James has worked alongside ⁠Annandale Distillery⁠ to create a blended whisky. '⁠Storyman⁠' is named in honour of James, and for his reputation as a great raconteur, which you'll become very aware of in this podcast! I chatted to James about his great passions; acting, whisky and food. He shares memories from his days working on the cinematic giant that was Braveheart, including a story about coincidence that is hard to believe. Picture: Colin Tennant I hear more about the process for developing his blend, working alongside the master blenders at Annandale. James gets very animated when asked about his passion for cooking - in fact, he might call it an obsession. You can find out more about Storyman and Annandale Distillery by visiting their website.⁠ Tours of the distillery⁠ run every day of the week from 10am until 4pm. Each tour includes up to five drams including a taste of James' blend Storyman'. Listen to the episode in full Get in touch We'd love to hear from you for the next season's episodes.

Scran season 8: Talking traditions, family and food with Giovanna Eusebi & Sabrina Damiani

When we set out to record this episode of Scran we wanted to investigate the impact of Italian food and the businesses associated with it in Scotland and what we ended up making was an episode about 'generations of strong women'. My first guest, Giovanna Eusebi, who owns ⁠Eusebi Deli⁠ in Glasgow, used those exact words to describe her family and business. From her fascination with capers to the touching memories she's helped create around the table, Giovanna shares her passion for Italian food and culture and the story of how her business has been so successful. From Glasgow to Edinburgh and the home and kitchen of Sabrina Damiani. I was treated to a beautiful afternoon tea prepared by Sabrina when we met. I heard all about her journey from Sicily to Edinburgh via Oxford, and a career in academia, to now running her own private dining and catering business, ⁠Damiani Fine Dining⁠. This episode is like a sonic hug so grab a glass of your favourite Italian tipple and settle in for a listen full of tradition, family, love and most Listen to the episode in full Watch the episode Get in touch We'd love to hear from you for the next season's episodes.
