Connor  Smith  writes : "The recent episode  as we are joined by Jay Akerley will be the final episode of this season
The podcast has now reached over 1,000 listens and has had listeners in 37 different countries around the world.

In the future, I am hoping to have 4 episode blocks on a specific theme with experts in that field. They would be posted all within one month - to save the month waiting period per episode. A similar format to the international rock gardener.
Cheers for all the support, and I hope you have enjoyed it thus far!"

Thanks to Connor  for  all his  work on the  Scottish Rock Podcast - we  wish him even greater  success  in the  future!
