RUNcensored
The RUNcensored Podcast with Gary House and Ben Mounsey
Produced by Chris Davies, Eastwood Media
Welcome to RUNcensored — the no-nonsense running podcast where chaos reigns, the laughs are real, and nothing is off-limits. Hosted by trail runner and coach Gary House and fell running legend Ben Mounsey, this weekly show is packed with unfiltered stories, bold opinions, and brutally honest banter.
Whether it’s a world record at the London Marathon or a meltdown halfway up a mountain, Gary and Ben tackle the highs and lows of running with humour, heart, and zero ego. If you’re into trail running, ultrarunning, fell races, or just enjoy hearing two mates take the mick out of running culture — this is your new favourite podcast.
What to expect:
• Trail tales & race fails – from DNFs to daft ideas that somehow worked
• Epic guests – including elite athletes, adventurers, and everyday legends
• Hot takes & debates – hydration vests at 5Ks? Robot marathons? We’ve got thoughts
• Community questions – funny, weird, relatable Q&As from listeners
• Gear & training chat – occasionally useful, often ridiculous
• Unfiltered conversations – running, life, mental health, and whatever else comes up
No coaching plans. No polished performance talk. Just a proper chat about what it’s really like to run, race, and mess it all up — and maybe laugh about it later.
🎧 New episodes every Tuesday.
🐾 Suitable for trail warriors, road runners, and anyone who’s ever cried into their race vest.
RUNcensored: Running, stories, and absolute chaos — uncut and uncensored.
