I’ve been here a long time, happy to be Senior Editor. My kids are ok with me being a nerd (at least I think so, but they’ve left home, so, like, who knows). Hubby rolls his eyes. Covering Outlander and a variety of other current shows, movies and books.
Ending the first season (we hope not the only) of Men In Kilts, we are taken to the sacred ground of Culloden. Far from being some ancient battle with no meaning for today, Culloden continues to ring through Scotland, marking a period “before” and a period “after,” when the country was forever changed. Sam and […]
One bonus Outlander has given us is an introduction to many talented people, some who are involved with the production and some who aren’t. The Scottish Highlands seem to be an incubator for the talented and creative, and it’s always amazing to come across them. One such person is Clare Campbell, who opened what is […]
One more episode! This week’s episode, focusing on clans and tartans (although not much on the latter) was, as usual, quick paced, witty and informative – and somehow better put together than last week’s. Sam and Graham’s banter – on a ski lift (to where, though?) with Graham’s fear of heights on show again; in […]
by Samantha Kraupner Samantha is an Outlander super-fan, and has traveled around the world to events. She is also my close friend, photographer and travel pal for the events I cover, and co-host of The Outlander Gab on the Air. When Sam Heughan announced on Twitter that he would be participating in a virtual event, […]
Tonight’s episode of Men In Kilts took us sightseeing – by bike, boat and plane, and of course, the ever present camper van. But truly, half an hour is not long enough to even scratch the surface of the beauties of Scotland – and I’m sure Sam and Graham would agree. Almost more than any […]
Hard-core Trek fans know this secret already. But for those of you who enjoy the shows, and especially for fans of the first season of Picard, you may be feeling like you missed something. Who the heck is Raffi Musiker? And Agnes Jurati – what’s the backstory there? Romulans? What was that deal? There is […]
Episode 5 of Men In Kilts aired tonight! We’re in to the second half of the show’s first season – what do you think? Would you be interested in a season 2? As is, or with changes? It’s fun, it’s a diversion – but is it here to stay (that is, if Sam and Graham […]
This week, Men In Kilts took a walk over to the supernatural side – ghosts and cemeteries, witch hunts, pagan ceremonies. This was my favorite episode so far, as I am definitely a believer in energy from the beyond (Abraham Lincoln’s wife Mary once appeared to me, from the top of the staircase in their […]
General consensus seems to be that Men In Kilts, the new Scotland travel show starring Outlander’s Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish, is definitely a hit! But there were a couple of issues people mentioned after the first episode – not enough kilts, and not long enough! The second and third episodes, which focus on sports […]
What do you say about non-Jamie/Claire Outlander couples? A good amount, apparently! The winners are in for the 2021 poetry contest. While we didn’t have a huge volume of entries, we certainly had lots of great ones. The judges, myself and my radio show co-hosts Alyson Bailey and Samantha Kraupner, were completely split on who […]
