Don't you hate it when your favourite podcast does a live episode? Well, that's what we did!

This is a BUMPER edition of bullshit including guests Nicola Forwood, Matt Garner, Rhys Jenkins and Hannah Phillips.

We also get into cliché inspiration, running advent calendars, falling over, holiday flexing, birds, inline skating, teeth and death.

And we announce our free race place winners! Hope you've got a long run booked in... 

We've entered a race! Doesn't sound like a huge deal, but we're super looking forward to this one, despite it's very dubious premise.

There's a whole lot of cheating going on it seems, and we still really really don't get it.

Don't forget to email us for a chance to get a free race entry!

We did RACES. Stories from the back, stories from the... front? What's going on?

Announcement! Competition! Mental shoes! This episode has these things in.

Also results rage, strava rage and maggot rage. Gross.

We're joined by Wild Ginger Running's very own Claire Maxted about being a running media mogul!

There is also chat of thick puddles, corgi training regimes, pretend dog injuries, long kit names, and shoe whales.

Also, if you're a race organiser or shoe manufacturer, we've got demands about things that we want. Please make it happen.

"I don't like it" is a strong theme for this episode as we get annoyed about things that no one else cares about.

Amy went on holiday, Pippin went on an adventure, Stu ran in circles.

Costumes, lady lube, Sergey Bubka, more naked runners, pick up trucks, and the most bizarre shoe concept ever are also mentioned.

Amy is all about the shocking reveals in this episode. She's done a thing, and is planning to do more things!

There are some unexpectedly passionate rants about bovril, giving up, and not understanding other languages.

Running is the rain is obviously fun, but sometimes it just goes too far.

We also talk about the devil's bargain, a pumpkin revelation, a mental health crisis masquerading as a race, and ask if you've started a race at a weird time?

We start this episode too hard for Amy, who is under the weather yet again.

Our guest is the fabulous Jake Fedorowski, who has written The Guide to Non-Binary Inclusion in Running, an awesome resource for race directors.

We also get into some incredible chafing, barefoot running, half-compliments, a surprisingly accepted naked runner, and a whole lot of running gender chat.

We speak to Kathryn Donovan for the lowdown on just how hard races are to organise, and there is a lot more paperwork than you think!

The rest of the episode is very managimous as we musically mock Amy, advise more unseasonal tea, Amy's withdrawal, cancelling our own races, trail run pedantry, solid bear safety advice, funky feet, and we finally make a positive impact on the running world, but in a VERY Running is BS way.

Welcome to the Amy Genders Rant Podcast. She's got a lot on her chest this week, and this is her free therapy session.

There's also more toilet chat, a lot of potential slander, things worse than magpie attacks, and just when you thought the Marathon Majors couldn't get any worse... #TeamRed
