The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 21 With Paul McCaffery - Check your baws for L.I.F.E

Balls. Bollocks. Nuts. Plums. Goolies. Gonads. Just a few of the countless words we use to avoid saying testicles. We've got no shortage of nicknames for them... but how often do you actually check yours? Do you even know how to check them? And if so, how often should you? If the answer is yes, brilliant. You're already doing something that could save your life. If the answer is no, you're far from alone. Checking your testicles should be as much a part of your routine as brushing your teeth. That's exactly what Cahonas Scotland is working to change by educating and encouraging men to check their balls for L.I.F.E. Lumps. Irregularities. Firmness. Enlargement. Four simple things to look for that could make all the difference. This is The Brass Neck Podcast. I'm Jack Jester, and today I'm joined by Cahonas Scotland's Community Engagement Officer and testicular cancer survivor, Paul McCaffery.

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 16 With Toots_Spilled_Ink - We Need To Talk About Kevin.

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 16 With Toots_Spilled_Ink - We Need To Talk About Kevin. The term “quality over quantity” applies to many things in life and that includes friendship. It’s not how much time you spend with someone, it’s how you spend that time that matters. Picture the scene…you meet a bar man called Kevin at a gig in Glasgow then 20 years later you’re spray painting his face on the banks of the River Clyde. This may sound like the plot of a psychological thriller but it’s actually the story of a long term friendship between Me and my next guest. Whenever I needed a show stopping cake for a family celebration she was my Punk Paul Hollywood but these days she has traded her piping bags for paint palettes and her sprinkles for spray cans She might only have half a hairdo but her head is full of creativity and talent!

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 14 With Kevin Brannigan - The Anaphylactic Shock Factor.

The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 14 With Kevin Brannigan "The Anaphylactic Shock Factor". “Glasgow has a reputation for being rough, dangerous and intimidating, all of which can be true. What isn’t spoken about enough is the heart that runs through the city and the people who live there. Our humour can be harsh and we laugh at things that shock other people but that all comes from growing up in a place that hasn’t always been easy to live in. Nothing great ever came from taking the easy road and my next guest knows all about that. He took every experience good, bad and ugly and instead of letting it define HIM used it to inspire HER and out came Big Angie. A power house from the East End of a Glasgow who who fights with her tongue and takes no prisoners. Would this have been possible without Barrowfield? That’s not for me to say so I asked the man himself.
