    The Movie Squad X RTP

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a bazillion times - this is a very special episode of Run To Paradise. Not only is it a gajillion times more hi-fi than any of the other episodes, but it contains two ACTUAL experienced broadcasters. They may not be runners, but goddam the Movie Squad can field a conversation. I can’t describe the relief, the feeling of containment and safety, knowing that Simon or Tristan would deftly guide the conversation back on track, with a laugh, without any awkward silences, and without me having a minor panic attack while I scramble for a relevant question while realising I haven’t been listening to anything my guest has said for the last 5 minutes. This is The Movie Squad X Run To Paradise! We review and discuss running in cinema. Not running in cinemas, but feel free to discuss that among yourselves :) We cover Chariots of Fire, The Jericho Mile, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Tracktown, Run Fat Boy Run, Brittany Runs A Marathon. We also discuss the running techniques of Tom Cruise and…well mainly Tom Cruise, and whether hitting the wall a shitting yourself should be represented more in cinema. The answer? Absolutely! As my ol’ Dad used to say “there’s always Tom Cruise” Thanks for listening! Run To Paradise is a Tarkine sponsored production, and was recorded in Boorloo on the traditional, unneeded lands of the Nyoongar people. And enormous thanks to RTRFM and the movie squad. I love you so much.

    S4 Entrée - THE SPEED PROJECT SOLO with Jonty Brown

    Shit a brick it’s been a while! Most grovelling apologies sweet handsome princes and princesses, I’ve been so busy being a "musician" that I simply have not had time to make podcasts about running. Lets call this a little appetiser - a tiny bowl of audio pretzels, a small platter of sonic antipasti - to wet your ear before the steaming hot main course is poured right into your auditory canal (yum!) Here’s a tastefully lo-fi catchup with Jonty Brown, just weeks before he embarks on the notoriously chaotic, painful and sort of punk-looking-guerrilla-ultra-race, ‘The Speed Project’… SOLO. Gross. Thats 550 kilometres through the desert from LA to Vegas. Bugger that for a joke. You’ve gotta be an absolute mentalist to do that, or Erchana, who probably did it while playing hoop stick because apparently she's made of some very kind, caring, enthusiastic alloy.  In the very competitive race to be the most elite athlete from Yorkshire who is also a barber, surfing instructor and motorcycle mechanic, Jonty is probably the winner. It’s not a hard competition, but he is the winner none the less. Congratulations Jonty! Oh he’s also the first type 1 diabetic to run a 100k ultra marathon, which (unlike being the fittest surf instructing, motorcycle repairing barber from Yorkshire that I know) is a very very hard thing to do. If yr in London or have the internet, check out his shop/community hub Runlimited. Unless you’re not interested in running in which case I’m so sorry you’ve read this whole piece of silly writing. Now get out there and seize the day! Or  just search for something you’re actually interested in on the internet. I positively don’t care. This is a podcast for Tarkine, the West Australian running company :) more eps coming more regularly soon x
