Race weekend, believe it or not, just got even more exciting. In case you missed it, Grandma's revealed that Kara Goucher and Des Linden would be recording a special live version of their podcast during race week this June.

It sold out quickly - and if you missed the boat the first time around and still aren't over it, you are in luck. They just added a second show!

The two host the Nobody Asked Us podcast, which covers all things running like their hot takes and of course, they tackle some things going on in their lives too. What a perfect fit for the 50th anniversary of Grandma's Marathon.
