Podcast Idea

[Joe the Middle Aged Athlete]

OK. I listened to Fdip 214, and Steve's desperate request for us to
create a podcast. I have thought about the idea for a few months, and
I'd like to see if anyone out there can help.

My thought is that I start a podcast called "The Race Report" or
something like that. My initial thought would be that runners from
all over the globe could submit race reports to me for podcast
publication in one of 3 ways. First, they could email me a report for
me to read on the podcast. Second, they could submit their own voice
recording of themselves during the race and/or after the race
dictating their race report. Third, I could interview them for 10 or
15 minutes to really explore what their experience was like.

I think I'd like to start with only road races, since that is where my
experience and obsession is.

I have done ZERO research to see if there is another podcast doing
this. I haven't heard of one, so maybe this would be unique.

So here is where I ask for your help. First, let me know what you
think of this idea. Second, if you'd like to be one of my test
subjects, please send me a recent race report, either written out or
as an audio file, to j...@middleagedathlete.com. I look forward to
seeing what you guys think.

Outstanding man!! Don't worry if there is another podcast out there on the same theme, just go for it!  There is NO competition in podcasting; and we're psyched to have your voice added to the mix!

Let me know when you're up and running, I'll give you a good mention of Fdip...and be sure to let Nigel know about this!

Run long

Hey Joe, I assume this will highlight reports from recent races and that's always riveting. Have you considered a section of "most memorable race reports" or "first races" or something similar where people relate stories of a race long past? I find as time goes by that certain races stick in my mind more than others and become more and more meaningful to me - and could maybe be of more benefit to an audience than my last race run. Just a thought.

Just want to add my support to this

I definitely get inspiration from that part of Fdip when Steve reads
out race reports. A podcast devoted to that kind of thing would be a
great idea.

Great idea for a show. I don't think there's anything like this at the moment. Nigel Runner is the guy to ask, of course, but I'm pretty sure this is a new idea.

Thanks to everybody for your input, feedback, and offers to help! I
hope to be getting started soon. I had a few folks send me race
reports, but I need more!

I thought I would try to have show themes, like "1st Marathon," "Worst
Marathon," "Ultra Races," "5ks" etc.

The reports don't have to be brand new, so don't worry and send them
in. My email is j...@middleagedathlete.com.
