'Dirt Church Radio' is a locally produced show with a focus on trail running- basically running done in New Zealand's great outdoors.
But don't get the idea that this podcast is a collection of split times and energy bar reviews and training notes and protein shake recipes and sneaker specifications! Finding passionate, interesting people to talk about the things that give them a buzz is generally a pretty good recipe for audio success. And the feature interviews with runners that are the centrepiece for each Dirt Church radio episode reveal a collection of interesting characters whose paths into trail running have often been long, circuitous and full of ups and downs.
We play some of Episode 7 featuring the American ultramarathon legend Dean Karnazes, and speak to Matt Rayment and journalist Eugene Bingham, the hosts and creators of Dirt Church Radio.
