Hi, I’m Tanner Campbell. I’m a media personality and Stoic philosopher (please don’t interpret this as a boast, it is just my job and I think it provides useful context). I’m moving to Dundee next week, moving my wife and our son along with me, and we’re looking to put roots down in Dundee.

I’m 43, married, a parent, so I’m looking for platonic friendships with people who appreciate a simple life and, I don’t know a better way of phrasing it, wholesome family-friendly type activities.

I enjoy whisky, but I’m not a drinker and I’m not looking for friends who are big into the pub scene or nightlife.

I’m boring. Awkward at times. ADHD. Pedantic at times. I like the outdoors because I enjoy being out in nature, not because I like doing anything specific outdoors. That means I’ll go on a hike, and enjoy the hike, but not because I enjoy hiking as an activity. I don’t care much for sightseeing but the novelty of travel makes travel very appealing to me. Especially spontaneous travel.

It might matter that I’m an immigrant from America. I’ve lived in the UK for three years, I’m planning on becoming a citizen. I’m self-employed.

I like pizza. I’m trying to convince my wife to let me adopt a sausage dog. I used to be a professional audio engineer and I’ve worked on some b-list movies. My biggest pet peeve is when people cross at a crosswalk that’s still on wait, but only if they do it in front of me and my kid while I’m trying to teach him to wait for “the green walking man.”

If I seem like your kind if person, connect with me. Maybe LinkedIn is best for that? Or Instagram? You can just message me here too. Either way I’m easy to find.

I’ve only been to the city a few times now and don’t have a lay of the land yet, but it’ll be home in a few weeks. I’ll be up tomorrow for three nights to get a flat sorted and I’m looking for pizza shop recommendations. Some people are shoe heads, others geek out on movies, but me… I’m a pizza fiend. Would love your best pizza spot recommendations 🍕

Edit: about to hit Edinburgh and just checking on this. THANKS for all the recommendations!!! Can’t wait to be a fatboiiiiii for a few days. Cheers!

Hello future neighbours. I'm moving to Dundee in September and, as the title says, I'm looking for a full service video production studio (multiple camera angles, sets, lighting, all the things).

I need to hire this studio once a month, for two full days, to batch record podcast episodes. I also need them to handle all post-production editing and mastering.

This would be a long-term relationship I'd be looking to build as this podcast is a central part of my work.

Any recommendations? Google isn't turning much up in Dundee proper.

Thank you.

Edit: it doesn't need to be central, I have a car and I can travel, but I am trying to avoid having to travel to Edinburgh or Glasgow for this... I prefer working with locals whenever possible. So, in or around Dundee is my aim.

We presently live in Maidenhead in England. We've had our eye on Scotland for a little over a year now and last week my wife got the word that Tayside NHS wanted to hire her (after a great interview). So, we're on our way.

Dundee is a city I've been to a handful of times, but always on business.

Driving around last week, it occurred to me that I really don't know much about the city in terms of... well pretty much anything.

My wife and I have a small child, he's just two, and so we're looking for an area that feels safe.

I will tell you that I drove through a lot of areas that looked like they were not that. But looks can be deceiving.

I've identified Broughty Ferry north of Queen Street, and the "West End" south of Blackness and between Bellefield and Windsor as areas that LOOK (to me) like nice places to live.

But, again, looks aren't everything.

We've also found something northeast of town in Burnside of Duntrune, but that lacks proximity to... pretty much everything.

We'd like to keep our rent below £1200/mo, so we're not looking for the bougiest areas... we cannot afford them.

I work from home. We have a car. Our son needs a nursery. We don't have to live in Dundee proper, but we'd like to. We'd like to be around other families with kids. We're not interested in nightlife. Also, if it matters, I'm 43, my wife is 35.

Where should I be looking?

Cheers.
