Bonus Smiles S2E5: Jeff Cady

Jeff Cady isn’t a stranger to running or to exploring the beauty of the backcountry. While others were learning how to make sourdough in their kitchens, he was traversing the Snowqualmie section of the PCT in Washington State. From hiking to fast packing, it's no surprise that his adventures would continue into the world of ultramarathons. In fact, this Halloween at the Javelina Jundred race, his eyes are on his first 100 mile buckle.   Tune in to learn how Jeff found his way into ultras and the music that powers his runs!

Bonus Smiles S2E4: TrailCon Special

This special episode seizes the kairotic  moment between two races–Broken Arrow and Western States. We’re keeping the vibes high and showcasing what public radio music is about–human curated jams you won’t find on commercial stations and that can’t be replicated by algorithms.     We’re coming to you fresh from TrailCon–the conference that brings together pro athletes, brands, and every day runners in the Olympic Village at the Palisades Tahoe Resort. We asked our guests one question: What would your walk up  song be for a race?
