MLB Hall of Fame Part 1: Scotland's Claim to Cooperstown

A Scottish Podcast About Scotland!
This week it's time for a listen with Chris 'n Rory! Jonny has the week off, so Chris has taken this as an opportunity to discuss America's favourite pastime and how it was basically invented by the Scot's.
Ok, not really, but the MLB Hall of Fame & the museum in Cooperstown was.
We discuss the history and legends behind the Hall of Fame and the enterprising young Scotsman Alexander Cleland who decided to set it up despite knowing little to nothing about the sport.
We also discuss some of the MLB's most famous and successful players born in Scotland (there are not that many).
Grab a popcorn and an overpriced beer as the TDN Lads take you out to the ball game.

Mark Millar Part 1: What If Scotland Made Superheroes

A Scottish Podcast About Scotland!
First off, the good news is: Jonny's back! All three of us are here to take you through this marathon topic.
This week we are diving in to the amazing and exciting world of superheroes and comic books.
Mark Millar was born in Glasgow and has grown up to be one of the most influential comic book writers in the world. His work on The Avengers was the blueprint of the MCU, he is the creator of Kick-Ass and Kingsman: The Secret Service, and it was his idea that led to one of the most critically acclaimed comic book movies of all time: Logan.
Comics and superhero's are right in Rory's sweet spot, so it's no wonder that this has ended up our first ever 3 parter....
So pull you underwear on over your trousers, wrap yourself in a Saltire cape and come fly off on and adventure with the Thistle Do Nicely Men!
