Good evening everyone,

I would like to listen to a podcast instead of music for my next run.

Would anyone be willing to share some of their favourites to inspire me?

Depends what you’re in to. The main ones I listen to are:

Metal Up Your Podcast - a fantastic duo in the music business who discuss all things Metallica and the wider music business.

Casefile - for all things true crime

Everybody is Awful - a very grumpy and not always politically correct US comedian ranting about anything from Facebook posts, inspirational quotes, dating profiles and people at the gym.

Peter crouch podcast is decent and funny, lasts about 45 mins but obviously talk a lot of football 👍🏻

I love podcasts for when I drive and agree True Crime Casefile and Serial are both brilliant. I decided to listen to one the other day instead of music and found it a little eerie listening to details of a grisly murder whilst running alone in a field...! Maybe stick to the upbeat ones!

I listen to happy place (with Fern Cotton). It is such a lovely accompaniment to beautiful scenery whilst running.

BBC Sounds App - Desert Island discs, The Food Program, Gardener’s Question Time, Woman’s Hour, World of Mouth - & many many more. BBC radio4 - more choice than I will ever have time for! 😄

Dr Rangan Chatterjee has some really interesting guests who are inspirational for more exercise, life changes etc

Saturday Live (Radio 4) is good because you get a mix of everything, different guests each week, one celeb's inheritance tracks, as well as listener's stories. Each podcast is around 85 minutes so might last you two runs.
