CroftworkEpisode 3 - Jamie McIntyreIn this episode we talk all things woodland crofting with Jamie McIntyre. Jamie is a freelance forester and community development worker based in Ardnamurchan, though most of his time is spent supporting the Woodland Crofts Partnership (of which SCF is one of 4 partners). He's had a long interest in smaller-scale, rural development forestry and in particular 'family forestry' models such as woodland crofts & woodlots. He was, for a time, woodland crofts officer for HIE/FCS when the model gained 'official' support following the 2007 Crofting Reform Act, but has been self-employed for the last 13 years. His wife was...

Anatomy of an AgencyEilidh McIntyre | Finding success after Olympic goldTo the rest of the world it may look like winning an Olympic gold is a catapult into a new world of opportunity. When you look beneath the surface, that isn't always the case. With 340 gold medals awarded in Toyko, topping the podium alone wasn't a right of passage to recognition beyond sport.Three years on in Paris, we caught up with Olympic sailing Champion Eilidh McIntyre to ask her what has changed - and what hasn't - since she received gold in Tokyo, as well as her advice for the next generation of athletes coming through.

Out of the Shadows with Eilidh McIntyreS1: Ep8: Mike McIntyre: My Shadow!This is the way I always wanted to close the first series; by speaking to my shadow, my hero, my inspiration... my Dad! Mike McIntyre overcame devastating defeat at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics to win gold, against the odds, at Seoul 1988. For my whole life, I've wanted to emulate his achievement and, in Tokyo in 2021, I managed to win my own Olympic Sailing gold. Two in one household! I know, crazy! We've never properly sat down to talk about the significance of it; how I felt growing up in his shadow, how he felt when I achieved my dream. It's ti...
2022-12-1954 minOut of the Shadows with Eilidh McIntyreS1:Ep7: Emma Wilson: Surf 'n Home TurfEmma Wilson is making waves in the British sailing team as our number one windsurfer! She won bronze at the Tokyo Olympic and has sights firmly set on gold come Paris 2024. Windsurfing runs in the family with Emma's Mum Penny, formerly Penny Way, competing at Barcelona and Atlanta. But while that link has its natural advantages, Emma explains it also has its trickier moments! As she chats with teammate Eilidh Mcintyre for the penultimate episode of the first series, Emma lets her guard down and displays a shyness behind her competitive exterior. Does this come from the obvious 'shadow' in her...
2022-12-0532 minOut of the Shadows with Eilidh McIntyreS1:Ep6: Moe Sbihi: Immature Blurs, Golden OarsThe athletes on this series all have a "shadow" looming large over the sporting careers; whether parent, sibling, team-mate or partner. But what if the shadow is the sport itself? Feeling an outsider in a sport which has chosen you, rather than the other way round. That's the case for rower Moe Sbihi, one of Team GB's flagbearers at the Tokyo Olympics. He's won three Olympic Medals - one from each of the last three games - including gold at Rio 2016 in the iconic Coxless Four. But Moe's carried a weight with him his whole career and now finds himse...
2022-11-2152 minOut of the Shadows with Eilidh McIntyreS1:Ep5: Liz McColgan: Flipping the ConceptWe're flipping the concept on Episode 5! Rather than speak to another athlete who's lived, and burst out of, someone else's shadow, we're talking to the shadow themselves! Not that there's anything dark or gloomy about Liz McColgan; a World Champion and Olympic Silver Medalist over 10,000 metres, Liz was one of Britain's finest long-distance runners and, as you'll hear, a fantastic guest! Now she's a hugely respected coach and - the reason why she's on the pod - the Mum of Eilish McColgan, the brand new Commonwealth 10,000 metres champion! Join Eilidh Mcintyre as she delves into this very unique relationship; three...

After Jonny Brownlee and Matty Lee, she welcomes champion boxer Galal Yafai, who sensationally won Gold at Tokyo in the men's flyweight division. As the commentator on the radio said at the moment of victory: "Superfly, Galal Yafai!!!" Galal's story is quite incredible. He comes from a fighting household with his two older brothers, Kal and Gamal, both respected champions in their respective weight divisions. The shadow is obvious; little Galal was always fighting up a weight, in his own household! What did this teach hi...
2022-10-2437 minOut of the Shadows with Eilidh McIntyreS1:Ep3: Chemmy Alcott: Chasing Dreams, Building Brands.On Episode Three, Eilidh's joined by Britain's most recognisable skier; the amazing Chemmy Alcott! Like the other guests on this series, she's had to force her way out of the shadows (both of her parents were distinguished athletes) but fuelled by an insatiable desire to carve a career in a niche sport and succeed where so many would fail, Chemmy conquered many metaphorical mountains. Perhaps more familiar these days as the face of BBC's Ski Sunday, Chemmy has lived a remarkable life; full of incredible dreams and devastating setbacks. She tells Eilidh about leaving home as a child to trai...
2022-10-1045 minOut of the Shadows with Eilidh McIntyreS1:Ep2: Matty Lee: Golden Partners and Best Mates.The Olympic Gold Medalists keep coming, with Eilidh joined on Episode Two by the incredible Matty Lee! Already a world class diver, Matty's profile took off when teamed with Tom Daley for the 10 metre synchro event at Tokyo 2020. Inevitably, there was huge focus on his more illustrious partner, hence getting Matty on the pod to tell his own personal story of coming "out of the shadows". Since Tom's Olympic debut, as a 14 year old in 2008, he's been on a journey towards Gold. But it took the partnership with Matty to fulfil the dream. And while Tom took most of the h...
2022-09-2643 minOut of the Shadows with Eilidh McIntyreS1:Ep1: Jonny Brownlee: Housemates and Rivals.The series launches with Eilidh in conversation with fellow Olympic Gold Medalist, the amazing Jonny Brownlee! He's one of the most decorated triathletes in the world but Jonny still lives in the shadow of his older brother, Alistair. They work together as a team - two brothers who live together, train together and wear the same national vest - but compete as rivals. There's a lot we can learn from this weird and warming dynamic. Jonny's refreshing take on this sibling rivalry should inspire anyone who finds themselves with underdog-syndrome or any sort of inferiority complex. Make no mistake, wit...

During their chat Eilidh opens up all about her career and partnership with Hannah Mills, as the 25-year-old prepares to make her Olympic debut in Tokyo.
But there's also a great deal of reflection on the pain that came before that, namely missing out on Rio 2016. That is something that still fuels Eilidh and is a time in her life that she admits broke her.
