Episode description

We live in a world where the old gods have seemingly been tamed by the one God, & for the last 100 years the twin lords of order - reason & science - have declared the one God dead. But those of us who run know there is something deep & mysterious about the marathon distance. It seems to be a strange attractor, pulling anyone remotely interested under its spell. & if there is an old god attached to the marathon, Boston would be its primal home. It may seem strange to talk of old gods attaching themselves to a city, but Boston has always had a very witchy past w/ Salem less than 20 miles away. Before you start thinking this episode is gonna head down an occult path, rest assured, it is more love & light than dark & twisted. 
Because as we dive into here, the Boston Marathon's 127 year history is deeply magical. Join us as we get vulnerable, tapping deeply into the myth & mythos of the world's most storied & special marathon. It is my pleasure to bring to you the episode we call That Old Boston Magic.
