About This Episode
The Brass Neck Podcast: Episode 14 With Kevin Brannigan "The Anaphylactic Shock Factor".
“Glasgow has a reputation for being rough, dangerous and intimidating, all of which can be true. What isn’t spoken about enough is the heart that runs through the city and the people who live there.
Our humour can be harsh and we laugh at things that shock other people but that all comes from growing up in a place that hasn’t always been easy to live in.
Nothing great ever came from taking the easy road and my next guest knows all about that. He took every experience good, bad and ugly and instead of letting it define HIM used it to inspire HER and out came Big Angie.
A power house from the East End of a Glasgow who who fights with her tongue and takes no prisoners. Would this have been possible without Barrowfield? That’s not for me to say so I asked the man himself.
I’m Jack Jester This is The Brass Neck Podcast and my next guest is… Kevin Brannigan!”
