Filth

Globetrotting fun now, from the US, Spain and back to Scotland with stories of snakebites, horny expats, mystery Korean dishes, sinister taxidermy and the cut-throat world of tournament table football. It’s Irvine’s short story collection from 2007 - If You Liked School You'll Love Work.

It's not quite been 84 years like Titanic, but it's well past podcast o'clock, so here we go again. This time we discuss a story of secrets, identity, Michelin star food and a weird voodoo-like curse that passes your hangovers on to some other poor c*nt.

Hungry? Why wait? Grab a bowl and help yourself to a large serving of our new episode, covering Irvine's short story collection from 2009, Reheated Cabbage. Maybe take some napkins too, because with tales including traumatic amputation by locomotive, afterlife buggery and a Begbie family Christmas dinner, things will get messy.

We review the 1999 film, co-written by Irvine Welsh and Jimmy McGovern, that tells the story of the 1990's Liverpool dockers strike.

Wake up, it's time for your next love injection.
