If you were listening last week, you'll know that my interview with Trey Hensley about Flatt and Scruggs at Carnegie Hall was the 500th episode of Bluegrass Jam Along.

To celebrate I thought I'd put together an episode with a few of my highlights and favourite moments from those first 500.

You'll hear from:

• Alison Krauss, on two different car journeys with Tony Rice
• Wyatt Rice, on recording Church Street Blues
• Bryan Sutton, on the journey all musicians go on
• Gabe Witcher, on leaving Punch Brothers
• Brittny Haas, on joining Punch Brothers
• Chris Eldridge, on Bela Fleck's Drive album
• Bryan Sutton (again), on Doc Watson and his influence
• Sarah Jarosz, on her album Blue Heron Suite
• Sara Watkins, on I'm With Her's Wild and Clear and Blue
• and Mike Marshall, on playing with Tony Rice and what he learned from other musicians

This journey has been a lot of fun and I can't wait to get stuck into the interviews I already have lined up for the next set of episodes.

Thanks to all my guests and to all of you who've listened over the past four and a half years.

If you want to hear a bit more about my journey with the podcast, check out this interview I did with Daniel Patrick from the Mandolins and Beer podcast.

Finally, if you know anyone who you think would like this episode, please share it with them!
