To our FTK community, thank you for sticking with us this past week. It’s been the toughest period we’ve faced since starting in 2022, and we don’t take your support lightly.

In our recent apology episode, we said we’d make real changes, not just talk about them. This week is the first step. We’re genuinely proud to welcome Tess Marks as a permanent host alongside Brett and Joel. Tess brings a perspective and energy that will make the show better, and that matters right now more than ever.

At the start of this episode, we address everything that’s unfolded. We’re not brushing it past or softening it, we’re owning it. What was said on our network was hurtful, and it didn’t reflect the kind of platform we want FTK to be. Brett, Joel and Tess talk through it openly, and more importantly, we outline the changes we’re making to ensure we do better. That includes a clear commitment to better represent and support women in the sport we all love.

We know FTK has a voice in the running community, and with that comes responsibility. This past week has been a hard lesson, but it’s one we’re taking seriously, and using to improve.

The rest of the episode gets back to what we love: racing, community, and the sport itself. Brett and Tess recap their half marathon efforts from the weekend, and we roll into Give Some Kudos and TWHSOITWTWATSA.

We’re still here, we’re learning, and we’re committed to being better.
