Mirroring the book's format, each episode represents a mile of the marathon MacCallum ran as a Hail Mary pass of communication to her father, a recovering alcoholic and thirty-two-time marathoner himself, after he experienced a near death relapse. With original music by Brandon James Gwinn, DRY RUN features a cast of fifty-one (Casting by Tessa Faye Talent, LLC) and is narrated by author, Nikki MacCallum.

Customer Reviews
A must listen
I loved the book when it came out and if possible I love this podcast version even more. You feel like you’re running along side Nikki the whole time, and the actors voices bring each chapter to life so you feel like you’re sitting in the room with her. A powerful story of love, family, and alcoholism that is a must listen for everyone.
Obsessed
Can’t listen to it fast enough. Love this story. I feel like Nikki is my BFF just by listening to her story.
