Kirk DeWindt is someone who we admittedly didn't know as much about before listening to The Running Public .

With Virtual World's Toughest Mudder happening last weekend we wanted to have someone from the event on to talk about it. Mike and Katelyn also had an unrelated talk about how they never really had the chance to actually talk with one of the event Zoom hosts Carlo Piscitello despite being in a group message with him for the past year. It was a slight pivot but we were super excited to finally have Carlo on. He is every bit as friendly and funny as you would expect and he warned us that he can be...

We hit episode 200 without missing a single weekend! We have put a mind blowing amount of hours into this show and felt that we should celebrate it in the same way that we did for episode 100 back on October 2nd 2018, by doing it live! Live content is very different from how we usually record so the setup was a bit distracting for us. We didn't edit the episode to keep the live feeling while listening, but don't take this as a sign of laziness because the post credit content took 40-50 hours to ...
