Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 31!! The boys have been running in the cold and wet. Andy is cock a hoop with his home made butter and Tim is wearing a hooded blanket.  The boys chat to Alex Bodin, a new Youtube Ultra Runner who has experience of the Manchester Marathon and may very well be the most inept guest on Goldie on Guitar in its short history. Truly, truly awful. As well as chatting to Alex, it's always good to catch up with an old friend, as the Doc makes his first post Christmas return, and quickly forms an addiction based WA group. The boys review the traditional Curtain Raiser at the Warwick Half Marathon (Charity Shield) and wonder aloud where the missing llamas were. Music: "Walking Down the Hill" by Ron Ward's Strange Machine.

Andy discusses his own decision to postpone his marathon attempt, whilst Tim takes Andy through the Boddington 10 Miler and updates on his Runna experience. The boys build up to the traditional Curtain Raiser at the Warwick Half Marathon (Charity Shield) as well as posing the Big Question, "Which part of your Running Kit can you NOT do without?"

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 29!!  This week Andy and MARM discuss...running. That's right, for a very decent amount of time, they actually talk running. The boys chat to Running Royalty, the King and Queen of the Long Run, Parkrun, Anyrun - Dawn and John Broom, from Youtube channel The Two Running Brooms. Dawn and John take us through their running experience, as well as treating MARM to a game of Mr and Mrs. Goldy on the Guitar guest Steven, talks about playing for the Blues as a Villa fan playing the hardest game yet of Goldy. MARM and Andy book their next event, live on air and they finally cover the The Big Question: "What has Running Given You?" Music: "Got It" by Jade Starr featuring Liz Aday.

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 28!! 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.

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.

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.

Ian and Emma talk logistics and the highs and lows of being Race Directors. www.cotswoldtrailevents.co.uk Parkrun Parables and Andy's sack take a pounding, whilst Tommy from Glasgow take on Goldy on Guitar. (MARM doing his best to avoid going full Billy Connolly.) A full review of the Cardiff Half Marathon might leave shockwaves on the 2025 Race Ladder, but with several races still to cover it's all to play for in 2025.
