Running Commentary

On one of the hottest days of the year, Rob and Paul head for the cover of the trees in Highgate Woods. Featuring what happens when runners swim, Rob’s book being on track, when comedians don’t gig, the weird whistle of a wizard in the woods, old muscles and hangover habits, and good and bad dinosaurs. By the way, at the end Rob’s mic gets very spacy - thanks for salvaging something there Steve!

Our friend, Magic DJ and My Mate Bought A Toaster podcaster Tom Price returns for a sunny run around the local parks and wetlands, and a chat about… well, a lot; powered vehicles, Hugh Grant, the women in Tom’s life - Wife, mother, someone called Adrienne, an old Welsh lady, and Gwen Stefani - and the scary stories of why Tom hasn’t been running, and Paul won’t do yoga.
