About this listen

Restless Natives is a cult Scottish film from 1985 featuring two scallywags – The Clown & The Wolfman. It’s iconic. Two resourceful rascals who take on the ambitious task of holding-up tourist buses in the Highlands… They were Robin Hood, only Scottish and on the back of a motorbike. Gordon Smart & Martin Compston are sampling that spirit - inspired by The Clown & The Wolfman - and distilling it into a podcast. They are setting themselves lofty ambitions before setting off in pursuit of tasks and goals they have absolutely no right achieving. A bit like their careers in TV, movies, newspapers and radio… Join them as they recount some of their ridiculous scrapes and adventures from the past while they plan even more ambitious, unreachable schemes for the future. Some of them will be achieved and others will crash and burn spectacularly. They’ve got lots to talk about, lots to share with you and nothing but time. As the film once said: “Is this the end of the story or a beginning of a legend?” For advertising opportunities on this podcast email: dax@global.comGlobal Social Sciences

  • Sushi, Parking Scams & 3 Day Hangovers
    May 21 2025

    After a spectacularly overambitious night out in London, the boys are together again and just about recovered, sort of. This week, Gordon and Martin reflect on birthday dinners gone rogue, surprise double meals, and the slow, painful realisation that hangovers now last three working days.

    Martin tries sushi (again), Gordon nearly gets scammed while investigating scams, and the two of them get unexpectedly emotional talking about the people in their lives who’ve always had their backs.

    And as they approach three years of Restless Natives, the boys want to hear from you – send in your favourite moments, words of wisdom, and long-running scams to hello@restlessnativespodcast.com
