RUNcensored
Hosted by Gary House
Two British runners host an unfiltered weekly podcast on trail and ultra running, mixing casual banter with in-depth interviews.
An unfiltered UK-based podcast covering the world of trail, fell, and ultra running. Episodes alternate between two main formats: casual, wide-ranging chats between the two hosts on recent races, gear, and running culture, and long-form interviews with legends of the sport and industry insiders. The tone is informal and often humorous, like a conversation you'd overhear between two running mates in a pub.
“The podcast's key differentiator is its blend of historical reverence and modern-day banter. One episode might be a detailed exploration of a 40-year-old fell running record, while the next is a chaotic chat about running underwear and the World Cup. [AncgFyV2w9Q, XsC6qeHWUvM] This dual identity, combined with a distinctly British sensibility, sets it apart from more polished, globally-focused running podcasts.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Interviews are relaxed and conversational, often conducted in person in scenic or relevant locations like the ASICS Base Camp in Chamonix. [6QFugbpiCK8] The hosts have a customary opening move where they ask the guest to introduce themselves in their own words. [XsC6qeHWUvM] They use open-ended, exploratory questions to guide the conversation, often picking up on a guest's comments for natural follow-ups rather than sticking to a rigid script. They build rapport by touching on personal interests outside of running, like a guest's favorite football team, before diving into the core subject matter. [XsC6qeHWUvM]
The show is co-hosted by Gary House and Ben Mounsey and features a mix of guest interviews and two-hander 'chat' episodes. The atmosphere is consistently relaxed and conversational, whether they're interviewing a guest or just catching up.
