S5 11: November 2023

Join hosts PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA for another hour of Lost Map goodness, including (not due to popular demand, or indeed any sort of demand) a reboot of long-lost regular feature, First Gig Worst Gig.

It’s November, the nights are fair drawing in, and LAURA reckons it's the start of winter already. PICTISH TRAIL is still in a summery mood, and tries to pay Laura a compliment on her hair - but ends up talking about his own greasy locks for possibly too many minutes. Thankfully there’s some new music to keep you entertained - the obligatory track from LOST MAP PRESENTS WEIRD WAVE, an archive track from EAGLEOWL, as well as some new music on PostMap Club from TWO WHITE CRANES, VICTORIA HUME and SUSAN BEAR.

There’s no featured interview this month, but we have resurrected an ol’ fave - FIRST GIG WORST GIG, in which artists tell us about the first gig they attended as a punter, and the very worst gig they’ve ever played themselves. It’s a bumper edition of the segment, with confessions from both SEAMUS FOGARTY and ALEXIA AVINA, who conveniently have new releases out this month on vinyl. PLUG PLUG PLUG.

S5 10: October 2023 - Sulka + more

Incredibly, this is the 50th episode of the Lost Map Podcast. We’ve only just realised this, while writing these show-notes… so there’s no actual mention of it in the episode. Thought you might wanna know anyway. Are you even reading this bit?

PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA gather together once more, to chat about all things LOST MAP - with exclusive first plays of tracks from LOST MAP PRESENTS WEIRD WAVE, and SEAMUS FOGARTY, as well as some new music on PostMap Club from FIRESTATIONS, KINBOTE and SAVAGE MANSION.

Our featured interview this month is with Glasgow-based songwriter & guitarist, Lukas Clasen, aka SULKA - whose brand new album, Distractions, has just come out on vinyl. He talks us through how the band came together, the making of the album, and the stories behind the songs.

S5 09: September 2023 - Ten Years Of Lost Map, Part 2

In possibly their most “method” episode yet, established actors PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA accurately portray the overwhelming sense of hangover from last month’s 10th ANNIVERSARY shows. They should win a Podcast Oscar, if such a thing exists.

Somehow PICTISH TRAIL and LAURA have survived Lost Map’s busiest month, celebrating the label’s official 10th anniversary. But if you thought all the milk had run dry from our birthday celebrations … well, you were probably right … but we’re still squeezing the udders for one final dusty spray of cherished memories.

There’s chat about all the fun times had at HOWLIN’ FLING!, and our experiences at GREEN MAN festival, as well as a trip down memory lane, playing our fave tracks of the past ten years by MANUELA and TUFF LOVE.

We’ve also got brand NEW tunes from our PostMap Club - including the second single from LOST MAP presents WEIRD WAVE, the return of SEAMUS FOGARTY, plus a fresh cut from SULKA’s forthcoming album Distractions.

Hooray. It’s another episode of the Lost Map Podcast! LAURA opens today’s show with some light mastication, before indulging into full-on manifestation. What does that mean? Who knows, but PICTISH TRAIL is near by to mop up the juice with his super-dry chat about tax thresholds.
