Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 27!! Happy New Year!!

This week Andy and MARM discuss their Shop Bought, Pizzas, Andy's Outdoor Oven aspirations and the dangers of double cheesing his dough. Driving in the snow and Bin collections are also covered in inordinate detail within the first 30 mins.

With the cancellation of the nation's parkruns, Andy has a 10K at Boddenham to report back on, the very first race to make it to the top of the 2026 Race Ladder. So far, our runaway leader.

Goldy on the Guitar guest John, has the bad manners to have the wrong surname, so that Tim wastes a perfectly good sausage gag and MARMCASTERS flood Andy's sacks with their Hidden Gems. (thank you)

The Big Question next week: "What has Running Given You?"

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 27!! Happy New Year!!

This week Andy and MARM discuss their Christmas and New Year's experiences. 150 Party Poppers vs Ronan Keating and a polite retreat.

Both of the boys have been parkrunning, Andy has finally done some tourism, despite being a reluctant passenger in the back of a family car.

As well as Parkrun Parables, the boys are very excited to welcome Todd Quiney, creator in chief of "Q on the Run", the youtube channel in which FIVE brothers share their very rapid running journey. So excited are the boys by Todd's availability, they load him up with Quiz after Quiz.

Welcome to MARMCAST! It's Episode 26!!

This week Andy and MARM celebrate Christmas early, by discussing their secret wrapping escapades and whispering about what Santa may (or may not) be bringing this year. Also discussed are Movie Guilty pleasures, with some common themes.

As well as Parkrun Parables, a bursting mailsack and a few shoutouts, the boys play Goldy with an unexpected guest as the wheels very quickly come off the pod.... But aren't they always the best episodes?

Another old friend breaks away from his evening out to pop in and say hello and the boys share their 2026 bookings exclusively with MARMCASTERS.

Don't forget to let us know which races are amongst those "hidden gems."

Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you so much for your support!

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 25!!

This week Andy and MARM celebrate their 25th Birthday on MARMCAST. Not their 25th, but the podcast's. I hope that's clear.

As well as reminiscing about what THEY were doing at 25, Andy and MARM also imagine a new Ultra Race that they will be setting up as the first of a MARMCAST series set in Austria.

As well as Parkrun Parables, advice from Dr Ian, a bursting mailsack and a few shoutouts, the boys play Goldy with Simon Francetti (not an associate of David Dickinson).

The finale gives the boys the chance to review their races of 2025, including the winner of the coveted "Best Thunderbox" - a real hidden gem.

Music: Paul Gillion - (We Built it From) The Floor - From the album "Echo Road".

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 24!!

This week Andy and MARM start with Celebrity Hatred (again). The list is growing and growing with some surprising frontrunners. Will there be a brand new "Hatred Ladder" starting to build, or will Monty Don hold firm at the other end?

Andy discuss a load of bollards at his parkrun, whilst MARM has a shiny PB.

With the mailbag full to bursting, Dr Ian weighs in with a voicenote, and MARM decides he's going to be locked in a basement as the lads hit America (all expenses paid)

This week's guest Pete gets to play Goldy on Guitar and discuss Stranger Things, whilst Andy sulks and the 9 Locks Challenge is reviewed, with MARM discovering a nasty surprise as the Swag Bags are emptied.

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 23!!

This week Andy and Tim discuss Celebrity Hatred (again) then Celebrity Love Ins, Dreadful TV and other bizarre ramblings, that probably aren't strictly about running.

Black Friday's secret purchases get a mention (AGAIN) in fact, they have arrived.

This week's guest Andrew (another one) gets to play Goldy on Guitar and The Broadway Half and Full Marathon is reviewed and revisited, despite the pain of both races.

Most importantly, where is Dr Ian and what can he do for this rash?
