Running Scared Media
Welcome to Running Scared Media!
In this collection of shows, we will bring you stories straight from the people who live them. Imagine lacing up your shoes, hitting your favourite route, and joining us as we literally go for a run with inspiring athletes. This isn't just a recording; it's an innovative, in-the-moment experience, capturing raw, authentic conversations as they unfold. Our brand is built on these real-time, unscripted interviews with real people, cultivating a trusted community where you're directly with the source, sharing in their journey. Through these unfiltered conversations, you'll hear their triumphs, struggles, and "why"—all while putting in your own miles—and discover what truly motivates someone to push their limits, conquer challenges, and find joy in every step.
Whether you're training for your first 5K or your next 50K, every step has a story.
Explore all our amazing shows, including:
- Running Buddies: In-depth interviews with incredible runners.-
- Sole Sisters with Justine and Kylie: Candid conversations with inspiring female athletes.
- Rucking Around with Ari: A dedicated show for all things rucking.
We also create original horror audio narratives intended to motivate joggers (aka jogcasts).
