Welcome to the Pilot Episode of the Banff Spy Podcast.

Banff is in the northeast of Scotland about 1 hour north of Aberdeen by road.

The members of the Banff Spy podcast team are Iona Reid, Producer, Beth Sivewright, Senior Reporter and Richard Broom who makes the tea.

Although we'll be talking to people about Banff, Macduff and the surrounding area, we will also have a global reach.

In this first segment of our very first podcast, we'll be talking to Angela Smith, a Macduff-based Yoga teacher, Rebekah McVey who is a reporter at the Aberdeen Press and Journal newspaper, Stewart Stevenson, our local Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) and Alan Judd, a world renowned journalist, author and film maker.

After listening to Segment 1, please listen to Segment 2, which follows.  In Segment 2 we'll be talking Karen Adam from the SNP, to a former GCHQ officer, a career paramedic and Beth, our very own Senior Reporter will be reporting on the Covid-19 epidemic and how it affects schools in Scotland.
