We've had a fantastic run, won awards, received commendations from the Scottish Parliament, Auditor General, MSPs and have been endorsed by press, industry and individuals & establishments we hold in high esteem.
We've interviewed & hosted some incredible & inspiring people, organisations & events; worked with a team of truly talented broadcasters & producers; and have consistently evolved our productions, app, VR studio & social media content to entertain our listeners, followers & Friends of The Pod.
Thank you to every single person who has been a guest on the show, to everyone who has produced an episode of the show, to those from far & wide who have worked in collaboration with us, to our listeners and to those individuals who have always supported & championed our work.
As bittersweet as this moment is to say goodbye, my work in audio journalism, broadcasting & podcasting will be continuing into the future with the podcasts & projects I'm producing across my network at Jonsan Media (https://www.linktr.ee/jonsanmedia). And I for one, can't wait to see how it all turns out.
