Group Round Tables

The group round table podcast are fire! Great topics and even better laughs.
Clan Dad

Must listen

This podcast is on the shortlist of never-deletes. I would listen to the whole podcast even if Marcus was interviewing a dead squirrel. He doesn’t interview dead squirrels - he has great guests - that’s just how much I enjoy his approach.
Brian R from Chicago

Marathon Inspiration

Who knew I needed Marcus when I was marathon training? Great podcast.

Inspiring & Motivating

Marcus brings on inspiring & motivating runners from around to world to his podcast. His own story is inspiring and motivating as well. I always enjoy these episodes on the run.
Lyutsik

Incredible podcast

Marcus has not a regular interview podcast. That’s an amazing conversation between two people. Therefore it is not insight of just one persons journey but at least two. Such a motivational and inspiring podcast from which one can learn so much!
