Martin Compston launches new Restless Natives podcast with Radio X DJ Gordon Smart

Line of Duty star Martin Compston has launched a brand new podcast with close pal and Radio X DJ Gordon Smart.

Restless Natives: The Podcast is an exploration of their friendship, family and the mad lives they lead between London, Scotland and Las Vegas.

This double act carved out a reputation through their respective careers in film, TV, newspapers and radio. Whilst the podcast is packed with copious amounts of high jinx, it's also an exploration of fame, coping as parents and husbands, and their masterplan to launch their own business.

Each week they’ll call upon their black book of contacts and wise advisors to seek help with their latest ambitious quest, which will hopefully be more successful than Martin’s gnome-selling venture.

Martin said: “Just what the world doesn’t need. Another actor with a podcast! In all seriousness, we’ve been talking for too long about doing this, now it’s actually happening.

"In the true spirit of the original film, we’ve got big dreams and ideas, now it’s time to get going. I’m so excited about it.”

Gordon adds: “I am shamelessly riding on the coat tails of a national treasure. That said, without me, Martin would never have been voted Scotland’s Most Stylish Man in 2014.

"Let’s hope that kind of successful partnership continues and we’re still pals at Christmas.”

You can listen to the trailer for the podcast here. The first episode of Restless Natives will drop on Wednesday, August 10 2022.
