Episode 14: Evil Becky Burke

from Cultra Trail Running · host Art Byram

One of the challenges of Ultra Running is keeping a positive attitude when things go bad. Becky Burke is an accomplished ultra runner who has faced and overcome many low spots in during her races. She shares what it's like to be in a dark place and introduces us to "Evil Becky" her calorie depleted race persona. To help with the discussion this week we week we invited our Patreons Christina Chin-Hing and Jimmy Mac to come and join us in the studio to act as co hosts as we interview Becky. This show is a combination interview and the typical Cultra hijinks. We enjoy listening to a few Cultra Karayoke songs, and get into an intense game of Cultramatic. The CULTRA trail running podcast is a place where we can get together and discuss all the fun shit that happens on the trails, that most normal people don't care about. CULTRA's headquarters is located in the belly of the beast coast, Glastonbury Connecticut, so most of our stories involve North East Trail running or North East Trail runners. The language used in this show is very explicit and raw like the trails we run on, so don't listen to this with your kids, and if that stuff offends you too much, or if you are a triathlete, or are on some really weird ultra runner fad diet, and can't take a joke, this is definitely not the episode for you. We don't have sponsors at this point, instead we like to recognize the folks that support us. This week we recognize our Patreon Supporters Brian Vanderheiden, Christina Chin-Hing, Clayton Collins, Dan Haggerty, Geoffrey Miller, Jim McCusker, Jimmy McCaffrey, Joseph Nuara, Kristijan Begic, Michael LoPresti, Michelle O'Neil, Stephan and Superfan William Gibbs. Thank you all so much for your support. We had a lot of fun recording this episode and hope you enjoy it.

On the Floor with Little Fern Little Fern Salon Step into the world of Little Fern Salon, where two hairstylists, Female co-owners, serve up behind-the-chair secrets every other week. From the chaos of running a business to heart-to-hearts with clients, nothing is off-limits in this unfiltered look at salon life. Expect juicy stories, unexpected twists, and a touch of drama, all served with a side of wit and style. Each episode is a reminder that no day—or conversation—is ever ordinary in our little corner of the world. XOXO, Fern Girlz Explicit Tales From The Rabbit Hole Mick West Tales from the Rabbit Hole is an interview-style podcast focusing on people whose lives have been affected by the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Guests will include both former and current believers in a variety of conspiracy theories, as well as debunkers, skeptics, and the investigators of those theories. I’m Mick West, a debunker. I wrote the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole – How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories using Facts, Logic, and Respect. This book came from my experiences running Metabunk – a debunking forum. Over the years I realized simply presenting corrections to people is not enough. We need effective communication, and we can’t do that if we don’t listen to and talk with each other. I’m hoping this podcast will help bridge that gap. Explicit Nerd on the Street Kaori Akari and Jason Rayn Welcome to our block!

Explicit Running In Slow Motion with Sidney & Tamra Smith You Hear Good Things podcast network Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe. This isn’t a marriage podcast (their union ranks a generous 5 out of 10, after all), but it is a refreshingly honest, smart, and funny take on relationships, ambition, and everyday chaos. From real talk to pop culture and unexpected interviews, it’s a joyride of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud observations. Explicit
