- Katie; do your own podcast!!
The male cohost really has a dismissive and condescending attitude. I don’t know their dynamic but it made me uncomfortable how he talked to her to the point I couldn’t listen to the podcast.

I started a podcast from 2023 because I’m interested in running a marathon. I couldn’t listen to the whole thing because the male co-host is mean/negging to the female co-host. Maybe, I’m not fully getting their dynamic.

Always brightens up my Friday listening to Katie and James. Entertaining informative and great for any training run

Good podcast and useful topics, enjoy the episodes. Only feedback would be that sometimes James speaks much quieter than Katie and can be hard to hear!
