Welcome to MARMCAST Episode 19!!

How is Andy this week? It's a long running saga and MARM suspects he's still milking it. But tonight the boys travel further into Austen territory and now believe Goldy to be a returning cad who has faked his own death.

Parkrun Parables throws up a tale of Andy based overtaking.

The boys guest this evening is Youtuber and oft times Ultra Runner Rachel D, who takes us through her inspiring running journey, before hanging up mid interview.

The boys review their races at Holdenby and Oxford respectively. Will the Race Ladder yield a new leader?

Music this week is provided by the Indigo Sunsets with an unlisted track, "Always Find A Way".

Welcome to MARMCAST Episode 18!!

Can Andy really be ill? AGAIN?

Just a sort throat this time, but nothing's gonna stop him.

Tonight the boys interview Ian and Emma Davis from Cotswold Trail Events, the team behind the revered Broadway Marathon and the Cotswold Century Way 1oo mile race. Ian and Emma talk logistics and the highs and lows of being Race Directors.

Parkrun Parables and Andy's sack take a pounding, whilst Tommy from Glasgow take on Goldy on Guitar. (MARM doing his best to avoid going full Billy Connolly.)

A full review of the Cardiff Half Marathon might leave shockwaves on the 2025 Race Ladder, but with several races still to cover it's all to play for in 2025.

Music this week comes from Pete Johns, "Work in Progress".

Welcome to MARMCAST: Epsiode 17!!

The boys are back!! And we are organised!! All of the ideas we had when we started the pod, but were replaced with chaos, have been brought back into focus. Sort of.

Andy is better, we have a special guest who is absolutely Bigger Than Running (it's AUBREY!!!) and we get Simon from the Centurion Running Club to play a ridiculously easy game of Goldy on Guitar.

Andy reviews the Big Bear Petsall 10K, Andy thoroughly empties his mail sack and we discuss our exciting upcoming races.

AND to top it all, we are played out by the Indigo Sunsets, with "Never Leave Me".

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 16!!

And Andy is... still ill. It's quite a saga, but he's fresh from the excitement of supporting wife Claire at the Worcester City Run and that will have to do in the absence of any runs himself.

This week we chat the Andy Raynor, Youtube's FOD Runner, a legend of a runner who is creeping towards 10,000,000 views since beginning his channel on a whim. A hugely talented runner and reviewer, it's great to have Andy to chat whilst he unloads his dishwasher.

And we also welcome Mike Duffy from the Chasing the Finish Podcast to play Goldy on the Guitar, exposing Andy as being stuck in the 80's.

MARM discusses his recent relay antics and the usual music contributions, this time coming from the heavy metaller Gary Hubbs with "Fandango".

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 15!!

Andy is still ill!! And h'es taken the painful decision to avoid being centre of attention at Worcester this weekend. MARM is taking part in his first relay event, and has some explaining to do after his phantom injury didn't ruin his Kenilworth Half Marathon.

Joining the pod this week is runner Andre Runz, who talks about his running journey, passing MARM on a canal and winning a place in the New York City Marathon!!

The boys face up to the fact that The Listeners Choice award at the O2 has slipped through their fingers and with it the chance to meet Raworth. There's always next year.

Remember to get in touch at [email protected] - we'd love to hear from you!

This weeks' music comes from The Indigo Sunsets "Shooting the Breeze"

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 14!!

There has been another forced hiatus for MARMCAST last week, with Andy ill and MARM injured... Which means that a guest appearance at Telford Parkrun is going to have to be rainchecked.

This means apologies are in order and a phonecall to Telford Harrier, Laura, is in order. After a failed attempt to get her to play "Goldy on the Guitar" (she played 4 weeks ago) a phone call to Freddy is in order.

Freddy's Youtube channel "Freddy Runs" is already hugely popular and a 15 min chat to Freddy himself proves why, fresh from his GNR5K success.

A full mailbag, a chat about the Timberhonger 10K, MARM's injury update and some music from Darren Anderson. It's good to be back!

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 13!! 

MARMCAST has rocketed back up the podcast charts and MARM and Andy are left to dream of an evening in the O2 at the British Podcast Awards. How will they behave and what will they say when they win?

More realistically, will Kate win "Goldy on the Guitar" and will the boys have the tact and diplomacy to ask the age of their veteran running guest? Will Kate recognise all of Andy's themes, or will it simply come down to the fact that she was significantly cooler than he was 40 years ago?

Andy and MARM also would love to hear from all listeners of MARMCAST. What would be your "Ideal Race". Distance? Location? Surface? Swag Bag? Number of Runners?? It's up to you.
