As MarathonDan raised this elsewhere, I thought I would sound off. Podcasts: is there a decent running one? In my view, no. 
There's the cowboys who stole the title of this forum, whose podcasts often last over an hour. There's one about parkruns, which is OK, and at least brief, but one of the presenters is a radio presenter by trade, so he loads it with the tropes of his profession: "shout-outs" and so forth. There's also an even worse one about parkruns, whose presenters came to do Seaford Beach parkrun, and I listened to that episode, but never again. It was ego, ego, ego.
This is the problem. Any idiot can start a podcast, so every idiot does. And they expect me to devote hours of my time listening to their drivel. This is true in other areas too: tech, music (I might make an exception for the Tom Waits Song by Song podcast, which can be interesting, though the presenters and guests are painfully "woke", as the young people say), literature and, dare I mention the word, politics.
