  • Episode 11 - Jamie Turnbull
    Oct 6 2025

    In this episode, Calum sits down with former Paisley Pirates forward and current skills coach Jamie Turnbull, a player who bridged two eras of Pirates hockey. Jamie reflects on his debut in the early 2000s, his memories of the legendary locker rooms, and the coaches and teammates who shaped him as both a player and mentor.

    They discuss Jamie’s evolution from player to coach, his passion for developing the next generation through Monday Night Skills Sessions, and his pivotal role in advancing women’s ice hockey in Scotland with teams like the Caledonia Steel Queens and Glasgow Thistles.

    From stories of bus trips to Guildford to his hopes for Scotland’s future in the sport, Jamie’s insight gives a heartfelt and fascinating look into what makes Scottish hockey so special.

    🎧 Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the game, this one’s packed with nostalgia, lessons, and laughs.

  • The Live Show - John Kidd and Phill Connor (feat. Neil "The Wee Man" Bratchpiece)
    Sep 22 2025

    It’s something a little different this week — the very first live Paisley Pirates Podcast! Recorded at the Wynd Centre in Paisley, this episode brought together fans, friends, and two Pirates legends: John Kidd and Phill Connor.

    We revisit the unforgettable 1997 Scottish Cup win, with stories straight from the dressing room, memories of that historic night, and plenty of laughs along the way. There’s community spirit, nostalgia, and a reminder of just how special the Paisley Pirates are to so many.

    Hosted by Calum Wilson, joined by comedian Neil “The Wee Man” Bratchpiece for some fun to kick things off, this live show was an evening to remember.

    Thank you to everyone who came out, and to our sponsors and supporters who made it possible.

  • Episode 9 - Callum Donaghy
    Sep 1 2025

    This week, we hand the mic to Callum Donaghy — or as he jokingly calls himself, “The Leggy Blonde.” From his early days in hockey to life in the Pirates dressing room, Callum brings a mix of honesty, humour, and sharp insight into what it takes to compete at this level.

    We dive into his journey on the ice, the lessons he’s picked up along the way, and his unique perspective as both a player and a personality. With plenty of laughs and some candid reflections, this one’s as entertaining as it is inspiring.

    Whether you’re here for the stories, the hockey chat, or just to find out why he’s The Leggy Blonde, this episode won’t disappoint.
