BLETHERS FROM MAC THE PICT
Our new Podcast series is live!
​
Meigle and Ardler Community Development Trust are delighted to go live with their occasional podcast series
called Blethers from Mac the Pict.
Each episode will be recorded with Meigle and Ardler residents, groups and businesses in mind but through our Buzzsprout platform, we also hope to attract a wider audience.
New episodes will only be available on Buzzsprout for approximately 90 days but the MP3 file for each episode will always be available on the Smart Village afterwards so you can easily catch up if you miss any.

Our second podcast features interviews with lots of local people which has been just fantastic. Now that we can start emerging safely from COVID-19, the Trust felt it was very important to ensure that all of our local residents had a better understanding of what might be available to do, both for their children and for themselves. This is a long episode but so worth the listen!
