    Great listen when out for a long run. Don’t know how they stay so cheery and fresh for two hours every week. Love listening to the interviews. My favourite podcast at the moment.

  • Late to the Tea Party

    I’ma little ashamed at how long it took me to find this podcast - having seen episodes shared on social media by friends, I was vaguely aware it existed but I’m sorry to say my lack of enthusiasm for tea on some subconscious level prevented me from pressing ‘play’. What a fool I was.

  • More than a running podcast

    Long time listener, patreon, devotee.

    I love Eddie and Gary and their crazy antics. The random chat, life challenges, tears, laughter, innuendo and even some running chat. There is nothing better than T&T to ease you through the long miles on the trails. I’ve learnt so much from the coaches, guests and Eddie & Gary, some it about running. Most of all I’ve felt closer to the community I love.
