Welcome to MARMCAST: Epsiode 17!! The boys are back!! And we are organised!! All of the ideas we had when we started the pod, but were replaced with chaos, have been brought back into focus. Sort of.

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 16!! And Andy is... still ill.

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 14!! There has been another forced hiatus for MARMCAST last week, with Andy ill and MARM injured... Which means that a guest appearance at Telford Parkrun is going to have to be rainchecked. This means apologies are in order and a phonecall to Telford Harrier, Laura, is in order.

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 13!!  MARMCAST has rocketed back up the podcast charts and MARM and Andy are left to dream of an evening in the O2 at the British Podcast Awards.

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 12!!  Fresh from a triumphant holiday in Wales for Andy, and a less triumphant break in Cornwall for MARM, the boys discuss their varying fortunes as parkrun tourists.

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 11!! It's absolute chaos at MARMCAST HQ this week. Tim has been left in charge of guest booking again. His star booking pulls out mid recording, and his Goldy on the Guitar competitor won't accept his call. Which leaves MARMCAST.... in big trouble. Not what you'd expect from a podcast that has recently gained a vote for the Listeners Choice Aw...

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 7!! The series is flying by and Andy and Tim are hurtling through their race schedules.

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's episode 4!! The Running Podcast that was once the Number 1 Running Podcast in the UK is sinking fast. Now in 4th place, Tim and Andy are left in limbo.

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 3!! Having gone live this week Tim and Andy are delighted to discover they are the Number 1 UK Running Podcast in the charts. Or they might not be.

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's episode two!! With Andy well and truly introduced we welcome on our first caller to play Goldy on the Guitar.
