 Our Mission Statement
Glasgow Generations is a wee light-hearted family podcast run by Scott Docherty and his dad, Charlie Docherty. It’s about growing up and living in Glasgow from the 1940’s and onwards.
The end of WWII and the regeneration still taking place; the tenement life with its community, cludgies and dykes; the deprivation; the auld patter, the Auld Firm, the auld trams; the steamie & the Co.; the No Mean City; the beating heart of music; the fashions; the dancin, the winchin and the favourite haunts; and all the little odds and ends that make Glasgow what she is today.
Over time you’ll hear plenty of great personal stories and memories, and we welcome as many of your own, in the hope that as Glasgow continues to flourish down the years and finds her place amongst the most magnetic cities on the planet, we’ll have preserved here just a wee bit of her working class roots.
It’s a pure stoater byraway!

 The Ninth: "Muscular". This one was supposed to be all about Glasgow's unfortunate tag as the "No Mean City", but as expected, we digress into the usual nonsense including the Burns Howf and the Muscular Arms, Maggie Bell and Stone the Crows, playing "jorries" and working out what "gird wi a cleet" means. Charlie gets corrected once again by our ever-vigilent listeners, and we yap about the only cinema in Glasgow that was located up a close. Don't worry though, we do manage to cram in a minute or two about the dark crimes and gangs of old, and Charlie even recalls with fondness the only time he was beaten up as an adult. So it all ends well really...
