The Bailey And Harding Ultra Sound System – Details, episodes & analysis

Episode 73 is here, and it's two hosts one mic today as our heroes record in the same room for the first time. That room is a room in the house of a third host. Not weird AT ALL.

There are features a plenty this week with the return to Hall of Fame (running local) and Hall of Shame (people who shame the music lovers) plus Damian has a dilemma that we absolutely don't want your help with and some big stuff to plug at the end. We have some amazing questions from our lovely listeners as well as a few pretty decent playlist additions, all wrapped up in a big shiny runners bow. ENJOY!

In this very special legends episode Allie chats to Alan Bateson AKA The Running Monk about his journey from alcoholism to ultramarathon runner.

We recorded this a year ago (I KNOW RIGHT??) and have been sat on it waiting for another bank holiday, but we thought we would release it now even though its been a while because it's got some super important themes in it and Alan is just bloody inspiring isn't he. Sorry it's a bit out of date - we will do a follow up if you like this one! Let us know!

Welcome to episode 63 when once again we go (H)all in with with our good friend Ultra Damo!

This week we are talking poles, poshness and the annoyance of getting cursed on a run - has that happened to you? We want to know! We have some excellent questions from you lot (please keep them coming) and some exqually excellent advice from Damo PLUS it's the debut of our new feature Know it, Hall? A quiz that has been designed just to humilate and humble our guest host. Spolier alart - it works. Other spoiler alert - some of Allies answers are, indeed, WRONG.

Into Ultra is inducted into the Hall of Fame - you can find out more about the excellent work they do here: https://intoultra.org.uk and We find out what happens when cats from other gardens breach the boundary of Damian's shoffice.

Welcome to episode 62!

This week we are thrilled to be joined by journalist, book editor and commissioner and extremely incredibly good ultrarunner Kirsty Reade!

Kirsty has basically done every hard race ever including Dragons Back, Cape Wrath, every single European mountain race ever invented and she's funny and she hates all the same stuff as we do. This week we ask what the heck is going on in Madeira, rant about binfluencers (again) and we launch BAILEY AND READE INVESTIGATE - the investigations arm of the podcast. Have you got an ultra-mystery you would like solved? Then send it our way and we will do our best to rip it to shreds without getting sued!

If you have any questions for ANY of our guests, then please send them our way on the usual channels.

Welcome to The Debrief!

In this special episode Allie talks to (at) Damian about her 108 mile adventure on the Pennine Way - which although a lot shorter than his, is defo way more brutal. This ain't no one way conversation though as we get into what it takes to mentally get through those races and why the Pennine Way is just so hard to run on. There are some proper good nuggets in this one, so make sure you share it with all your friends and neighbours and let us know what you think in the comments!

Welcome to episode 60!

This week we meet our next guest host the wonderful Paul Albon!

Welcome to episode 58 - the first of our maternity leave episodes with super host Damian Hall.

This week Allie gets to know Damian and all his weird secrets. Who else mentions they "helped" with a double Paddy Buckley at the weekend without mentioning that by help they meant "ran most of a Paddy Buckley"? Overachieving nonsense as always from his end. We also discuss ideas for features (Allie's are better than Damo's), oily race companies and naughty hikes. Don't forget to send in your questions for Damo for next month's LOL fest!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!

We are 57 episodes old and 52 weeks old and 1 year old!!!

This week we send Anna off on maternity leave with a big old trip down memory lane, reliving some of our fave moments from the last year, dropping some big stats and losing our shit over a picture sent in by a listener - you need to check Instagram to see this it is INCREDIBLE. We also introduce you to another two of our great pod cover stars and check in on the all-important playlist - oh and there's also a conversation about matted pubic hair. Honestly, we don't know how it happens either - ENJOY!

Welcome to The Debrief!

This week Allie talks to Dean Cox - otherwise known as the podcast pet - about his epic journey from half marathon runner to 100km finisher.

Back in 2023, Allie and Anna picked Dean from obscurity and have been training him in the dark arts for the last 30 weeks in order to get him to the start and hopefully the finish on the London to Brighton 100km race. Here Allie and Dean talk about the training plans he followed, his highs, lows and what he learnt on this 30-week journey, plus he chooses three songs for the playlist.

Proper inspiring stuff, this. Prepare to get teary.
