  • Beast Coast Awesomeness!

    A few months ago I fell upon an episode about the 2024 Frozen Snot, where I apparently unknowingly met Grayce. Haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Eric yet. But I am really enjoying the content and having it based in PA, and talking about the races that I’m familiar with is awesome. Looking forward to Frozen Snot in February as I’m sure you guys are too. Great stuff, keep it up!

In the course of the last 12 months, I have watched and listened as both Eric and Grayce have grown as hosts becoming more comfortable on the air, lifting the weight of nerves and making the podcast so easy to listen to.

  • Must listen for Beast Coast runners!

    Grayce and Eric host an awesome show that is both entertaining and knowledgeable - interviewing some incredible people not only in the Pennsylvania trail running scene, but the northeast region as well. A one stop shop of training tips, race reviews and FKT information…as well as quirky jokes, Eric’s “fun facts”, and more often then not, very heartfelt conversation. I never miss an episode! It’s never to late to become a hair in the mullet 🤣

    They are a great team, who not only interact well with one another but have a genuine interest in their guests and the stories they want to tell.

    They cover topics that are relatable, loved and exciting - which means you never know if you will end an episode laughing, crying or accidentally hitting that “registration” button... more
