  • Brilliant!

    On episode 5 and Esther has busted out the singing much to Zoe’s horror. As an avid Ghastly Women listener, I can’t wait to see how long it takes Esther to break Zoe and have her joining in for a duet. Brilliant pod! Thanks both!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S01 E09 - Tastes like something scraped from a hutch...
Q: What trends are you seeing in fitness advice online, especially around running?
The guests explain that online fitness advice has become tribal and heavily influenced by who looks the part, which can mislead people into following non-evidence-based practices unless they seek balanced, research-backed guidance.
S01 E08 - This is not me!!!
Q: How did running help you cope with the trauma you described?
Running provided a structure for healing, offered moments of peace, and allowed the speaker to reconnect with themselves, eventually becoming a diary of recovery and a catalyst for rebuilding life after the incident.
S01 E04 - Ivo Graham and his wonderful orange tracksuit
Q: How did you get into it? When did you start running?
Ivo discusses his early days of running with his dad in Sydney, his fond memories of those times, and how they influenced him.
