    Euan Jardine is a multi-talented entertainer, councillor, rapper, and former competitive athlete based in Galashiels, Scotland. With over a decade of experience in stage and short film acting, he has cultivated a unique voice that blends performance, public service, and creative expression across multiple platforms.

    A serving councillor with the Scottish Borders Council since 2017 and Council Leader since 2022, he brings the same passion and presence to public service as he does to the stage. After retiring from athletics, he launched a YouTube channel that has grown to over 1,500 subscribers in under nine months, offering a mix of comedy sketches, interviews, and social commentary.

    In addition to his work in politics and entertainment, he is an independent hip-hop artist, having released his own original rap single that reflects his perspective, experiences, and artistic identity. He views esports as a transformative cultural force—one that empowers young people, creates inclusive communities, and provides real pathways to education, career, and confidence. His belief in the power of storytelling, whether through lyrics, leadership, or gameplay, is central to his creative and civic mission.

    Euan has been one of the most interesting guests we have had on the show, this is one not to miss!
