  • The Best part of Wednesdays

    I found the Big Rab Show through the guys over at the Chanter Rant. I’ve been faithfully listening since 2018. The topics are relevant, varied, and interesting.

  • A 5 star piping & drumming podcast

    This is a fantastic podcast with fantastic guests and amazing content. Rab is a jovial character who keeps it positive and informative throughout. He sets the gold standard for piping podcasts. My only small wish is that he would play a little more music occasionally. Thanks Rab for all you do, you Legend!!

  • Integrity, Ethics, and Grace

    Integrity means everything to me. Nothing in life is worth trading integrity for. It’s genuinely our most valuable asset. I will always do everything in my power to live my life with the integrity described in the poem below because living a life worthy of being described like THAT is what AWESOME looks like to me — and that is how I rate Big Rab and his show!

    She had integrityIn her bones and Was clothed In grace.She was beautiful;Not only in howShe looked,But in who she was.
