Tartan Trials

Welcome to Tartan Trials — the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of Scotland’s most iconic places, people, and experiences. Hosted by Alexander Young, this series dives into the stories you don’t usually hear — from the stage lights of the Pavilion Theatre to the hidden collections inside the Riverside Museum, and even into the high-energy world of Scottish wrestling. Each episode features candid conversations with the people who live and breathe these spaces, revealing what really goes on behind the curtain, behind the glass… and sometimes behind the ropes. Expect laughs, unexpected stories, and exclusive insights — from how massive trains are moved into museums, to the emotional journey of stepping into the wrestling ring, to the chaos and comedy of live theatre.
