The Run Down Podcast is created by Bookhounds, a running club AND a reading group. Bookhounds is a monthly book subscription box delivering running inspiration to your door.
In The Run Down we review our 'Book of the Month'. The show is hosted by Char Binns, Top Dog and Jak Smithson, Sound Hound and we invite a special guest from the world of running to join our reading group every month.
