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?”

Introducing Unlikely Friends - A brand new podcast! - Unlikely Friends

For the very last time, it’s your Friday Bonus Ball – with Gordon Smart, Martin Compston, and one last spin through the madness. No guests, no script, a bit of a plan – inanimate object rage, terrible auditions, words of wisdom and the sort of unhinged nonsense that somehow made this podcast magic.

Thanks for joining us on every weird, wild, hungover, heartfelt Friday. We love you. FTGB.

The Final BONUS Ball: Space Hoppers, Tumble Dryers & One Last “F**k the Gas Board”

After 280+ episodes, two live shows, a music festival that never quite happened, and a podcast friendship forged in squirrel suits and hangovers… it’s time to say farewell. For now.

In this episode of Restless Natives, Martin and Gordon get brutally honest about why they’ve had to hang up the mics, and take a look back at some of the stand out moments: the live shows; Germany; standout guests and the wild listener stories.

There’s laughter, there's near-tears, and there’s plenty of gratitude—for the listeners, the Lesmahagow truck stop, and each other.

It’s not the end forever. Just the end for now, or at least til the bonus episode.

Leave Now: A Final Kenny Ho

It’s a solo mission this week as Gordon Smart flies the Restless Natives flag alone while Martin “Turbo Banana” Compston is somewhere between Vegas, Greenock and Dublin. But fear not—there’s no shortage of brilliant listener stories, wild detours, and even a wee tearjerker or two.

We've a misheard lyric that may forever ruin a Nelly Furtado classic, tales of disastrous new car day and a chilling story involving a near-miss with Myra Hindley and Ian Brady.

Plus we welcome a Restless Natives rainbow baby to the world. 

Don’t miss next Wednesday’s episode – it's an important one.

BONUS: Bro & a Brush with Evil

This week, whilst Martin's back filming, Gordon's only gone and roped in the most resourceful of rascals, a man who embodies what Restless Natives is all about, the sporting hero, maverick and icon, tennis' most loved bad boy, Nick Kyrgios. 

Nick and Gordon chat having a peak at shower partners, eye watering bills, sharting next to Andy Murray, maintaining a sense of normality whilst at the top of your game and Nick answers the important questions: did he have a lunchbox? And, should fish be skin on or skin off?

It’s your Friday Bonus Ball – and the boys are still together, but apart, Martin in Dublin and Gordon in Tisney Studios, opening up the inbox to find more brilliant correspondence from our resourceful rascals at home and overseas. 

They're reminiscing about Germany and Greg McHugh's wine chat, more new car day nostalgia, the never-ending wrath of being the “Scottish guy on set” and will Dua Lipa re-ignite the gnome business?

BONUS: Dua Lipa, A Lion's Push & Germany Memories

It’s another week of mischief, mayhem, and top-tier nonsense – and the boys are back together (just about).

Martin’s beaming in from a mystery porta-cabin somewhere near Dublin, Gordon’s dashing between gigs, and we're chatting the art of blagging a wrap party, David Coulthard's dart game, Martin's lad giving him a cracking one liner and Seve Ballesteros autographs some fish and chips.

Chocolate Slabs, Seve Ballesteros Autographing Fish and Chips & "School's closed bro"

It’s your Friday Bonus Ball – and Emun Elliott is back for round two!

Following a belter of a main episode earlier this week, Emun kindly stuck around for more chat, confessions, and casting horror stories. From humiliating Coke ad auditions to the trauma of packed screening rooms, he takes us through the unglamorous reality of trying to “make it” – and why the struggle never really stops. Massive thanks to Emun – and roll on Martin’s return next week.

BONUS: Shirtless Auditions & Drama School with Emun Elliott

It’s another week of mischief, mayhem, and top-tier nonsense – but this time, we’ve swapped Martin’s majestic eyebrows for another Scottish icon: Emun Elliott.

Actor, national treasure in the making, and Edinburgh’s answer to Colin Farrell, Emun joins Gordon for a cracking chat full of showbiz highs, gritty theatre lows, and even why he's addinf sawdust to his scripts. From his breakout in Black Watch to the sun-drenched (and very sweaty) sets of The Gold: Series 2, this is a man with a story for every continent.
