Big Jock 94 ,

Best podcast ever

Been listening since episode 94 , and have downloaded the entire catalogue , listening to episode 41 now

Gotthe bug !

I listen now and then to his radio show, then tried out the podcast. Best to start at No1. It gets better as you go on. Basic but informative. I feel I am part of the family now. Talks about pipe bands and associated items and issues. He is looking for ways to improve which is great. Growing all the time. Well done B Rab. Harvey

Awesomeness !
