Jo Stewart is the Co-Founder of Stewart Brewing, Edinburgh's original craft beer brewery, I was delighted to catch up with her at The Edinburgh Grand earlier in the year. I've been pals with Jo for a while now but never knew the story behind the business, one she set up with her husband in 2004. Stewart Brewing is in strong growth, trading internationally and enjoying strong relationships with some of the big retail players. I was keen to hear more about the backstory, building a business, brand and team, how you separate life and business when working with your husband, and the challenge Jo has faced working in a male dominated industry - as well as their very recent journey to Gin! Tune in to hear more about the newest member of the Stewart family, The Collector Gin - more strong branding and clever innovation, can't wait it a try (thanks Jo!)https://www.stewartbrewing.co.uk/@stewartbrewingThis episode is kindly sponsored by Breaking Strain Events - a Scottish adventure company helping you explore the world outside your comfort zone, they offer Arctic Treks to Finland, climbs up Kilimanjaro, adventures in the French Alps as well as bespoke challenges for Corporates and Charities.

It was on one bright summer's day in 1836 that a group of boys out hunting rabbits on Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, made a very bizarre and macabre discovery. Could it have been linked to one of the city's most infamous murder sprees from only a few years before?

In June of 1836, a group of boys set out for Arthur's Seat looking for rabbits. In a small opening in the rock, almost hidden from view, they found something else. Seventeen miniature coffins, each one containing a small wooden figure, dressed in hand stitched clothes. But who put them there, and what did they represent?

The boys are about a week into the Fringe

Phil talks to Sofie Hagen and Mark Cooper-Jones and nearly climbs Arthur's Seat.

In Edinburgh in 1836, a group of boys who were hunting rabbits came across a small alcove and found something very peculiar- 17 small caskets containing 17 small dolls. Immediately thought to be connected to witchcraft, these dolls have been a mystery for the ages- with new theories cropping up as recently as the 1990's and suggestions of a possible connection to some very notorious serial killers.

2012 #10: Have We Got Bewes For You? - Craig Campbell and Helen Keen. Richard met the unLikely Lad Rodney Bewes yesterday and is still trying to work out the fact and fiction of the astonishing things that he revealed. And if Edinburgh ever becomes a deserted wilderness (and it seems to be getting that way if ticket sales are anything to go by) then Richard's guest is the most likely to survive - it's a man who can run up Arthur's Seat with a rucksack full of bricks, rafter and biker Craig Campbell. Craig has tales of Canada, Devon and touring with Frankie Boyle, as well as revealing what it's like to live life without TV, how he can drive in any weather conditions and what happened when he ran over a badger. There's a great stand-up set from the brilliant Helen Keen and it turns out that Richard isn't the only person who can see Colin, as Campbell can too. But that doesn't mean he's really there.
