World's Toughest Mudder is almost upon us ... which is a very strange thing to say in June since it has always been in either December or November!

I met Wil Chung last year at WTM and discussed having him on the show to talk about the venue of Belvoir Castle since he has had a lot of experience there as a prominent member of the European TM community!  I also wanted to have Fran Chiorando on as well since she lives with an American and is hyper aware of cultural differences and knows about my interest in trying new snacks!

We talk about cultural differences, some slang, travel tips, touristy things to do, food and snacks to try, obstacle differences, updates in the recently distributed information pack, and some information about this year’s venue, Belvoir Castle!

Start – 2:22 – Intro

2:22 – 5:40 – Quick News

Next weekend we are either doing the episode on the book that we got back in March or there is a first timer to running WTM that we may reach out to about an interview!
