8 SEP 2026 · Ruaridh Ormiston speaks to The Fly Fifer. This week on The Fly Fifer Podcast, we head into the heart of the Highlands for a proper chat with Ruaridh Ormiston. Ruaridh comes from a Highland family with generations of history around farming, Highland cattle, Highland ponies, horses and working on the hill. The Ormiston family have been connected with Highland pony and cattle breeding in Badenoch since the 1800s, with a remarkable story that includes the early days of pony trekking in Newtonmore, working ponies, deer stalking and the changing face of Highland rural life. Ruaridh has spent much of his life around horses and ponies. His family connection to pony trekking stretches back to his grandfather Ewan Ormiston, who helped establish pony trekking in Newtonmore in 1952. Ruaridh later took over his own operation before moving to the Newtonmore Riding Centre at Biallid Farm. But there's much more to the story than horses. We get into Highland cattle, farming, deer, ponies, horses, the realities of working the land and what it means to keep traditional Highland skills alive in a modern world. We also talk about the Strathmashie Fold and Ruaridh's long involvement with Highland cattle, as well as some of the newer technology being used in modern cattle management. It's a conversation about family, tradition, farming, animals, the Highlands and the people who keep rural Scotland moving. No script. No corporate chat. Just real Scottish chat, your chat your way.

18 AUG 2026 · This is the real Marvin Baird, sitting at home, on his terms, having a raw and honest conversation about life, addiction, recovery, family, mistakes, survival and trying to find himself after 22 years of addiction.
No studio lights.
No script.
No frills.
No “Happy As Larry” taglines.
Just Marvin. At the time of recording, Marvin had been 1 year and 1 week clean. And there’s an important question running through this conversation: Is Marvin still an addict? Marvin doesn't see himself that way anymore. He sees himself as a survivor and we do too. it takes strength determination and love.

11 AUG 2026 · MEN CRÈCHE: SHOOTING THE SHIT
No script.
No plan.
No preparation.
And quite possibly… no adult supervision.
This week James & David are doing something a wee bit different just sitting down, shooting the shit, talking absolute mince and generally being a pair of dafties. No serious agenda. No big topic. Just two blokes having a blether, taking the piss, laughing at each other and probably wondering halfway through why we ever pressed record. 🤣 Sometimes you don't need a plan. Sometimes you just need a cuppa, a camera and a complete lack of common sense. This is Men Crèche exactly as it should be honest, relaxed, unfiltered and occasionally bordering on ridiculous. Stick the kettle on, grab a seat and come have a blether with us. Because let's be honest… we're probably talking shite anyway. 😂

It's about second chances, addiction, recovery, employment, community, dignity, being seen and what can happen when somebody gets an opportunity to change direction. Sonny's story is a reminder that a person's past doesn't have to define their future. We talk honestly about life on the streets, the revolving door of homelessness, the support that helped Sonny move forward, his work with Invisible Cities and why telling people's stories can make such a difference.
No judgement. No bullshit. Just real chat. That's exactly what The Fly Fifer Podcast is all about. If Sonny's story makes you think, laugh, question something or look at homelessness differently, please hit LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE this episode.
