The first ever Boston Marathon podcast, presented by the Boston Athletic Association and media partner WBZ-TV. We invite you to join us as we bring you stories, the people, and the issues, that make the Marathon what it is, both today and through history - in Boston and around the world.
A show about and for marathon runners. Hear from other marathon runners, race directors, medical professionals and suppliers about running marathons. We feature segments dedicated to upcoming races, training programs, equipment and stories about how the marathon has changed people's lives.
Imagine a zombie run 5k with Dorothy Parker and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie leaping over the prone bodies of Ernest Hemingway and Jonathan Franzen. Kurt Vonnegut is sitting in a tree, smoking a bent Pall Mall, looking down upon the mass of humanity with humorous disdain. Haruki Murakami (a Boston Marathon regular since the 90s) is sitting at the finish line, medal around his neck, petting a cat. This is kind of like that. But also a guy from Vermont talking into a microphone.

Fox Sports host and comic Rachel Bonnetta (“Lock It In”, “@Buzzer”) and comedy writer Rachna Fruchbom (“Fresh Off the Boat”, “Parks and Recreation”) are here to share their love for two things: sports and DRAMA. Sure, they obsessively root for Cleveland (the Browns and the Cavaliers, respectively), but they get even more excited by those crazy moments in sports that become almost legendary. We all know the sensationalistic scandals about cheating, gambling and sex, but Rachel and Rachna want ...

It's the Hall of Shame finale and Rachna is going to need Rachel to contain her fury (or not).
