In this episode, recorded on a walk through Eglinton Country Park, founder Barry Robertson shares the real story behind The Grey Hill — from his years working in Scottish theatre, to the 40 pence royalty statement that changed everything, to building the store, app and audio theatre model from scratch.

Barry talks candidly about:

• Why he left theatre and what led him to audio drama
• The royalty realisation that made him rethink the whole model
• How The Grey Hill works — ebooks, audiobooks, and audio theatre, all in one app
• The Six Scottish Stories bundle and the six Scottish locations behind it
• Working with Equity and ITC to build fair contracts for creatives
• What's next: author events, live digital events, and new theatre partnerships

This is a video podcast episode — recorded as a walk-and-talk, with natural pauses to take in the surroundings. Best enjoyed watched rather than just listened to, but works either way.
