Episodes

  • Ask us anything and we will Jackass around, but also... provide a explicit and raw unfiltered answer. Trail running or listening to music—can provide comfort, relief, or a sense of well-being. They help you cope with stress, clear your mind, or even provide moments of joy. However, they aren't a structured, professional approach to addressing underlying psychological issues.

    Therapy, on the other hand, is a formal process led by a trained professional, like a therapist or counselor. It involves specific techniques designed to help you understand and manage deep-rooted emotional or mental challenges.

    We remind ourselves that we don't have to choose one over the other. But Also... Is King Crimson really a King?

  • Oh, snap what's good fam? You got a fully assembled CULTRA news team tonight. Art put the call out, was like “news team assemble” and we were like oh shit who are we fighting? Well, we’re fighting boredom, and this is a 112% Grade A Bonafide Fresh Jackass episode where we go all in on the Patreons as well. We touch on some fairy smut, Leadville and Ann Trason’s domination at said event, all of our Homies that went and did Twisted Branch 100k over in NY, we do a deep dive on shitty weather, concerts, joining a cult, childhood myths, the emergence of Pickleball, and eating high calorie foods like DONUTS while we run… damn, it’s a good show.

  • What does it take to run 100 miles 100 times? How about doing this 300 times? Ed Eddinghausen aka "The Jester" has run distances of 100 miles nearly 300 times and is seeking to break the record for the most 100 mile runs completed in one year. Many of us seek to work out our personal issues as we run. Some fight this battle internally and others seek to make a connection with fellow runners as our defenses are stripped away. The Jester shares his practice of helping others overcome obstacles during his runs as a mutually beneficial way of life that improves everyone’s state of mind and gets us all closer to the finish line.

    If you or your family are in need of assistance please call: 211

  • Vin Capp from Happily Running joins Phred and Jimmy Mac (sans AFB and Ding Dong) and they hardly discuss Tesla Hertz Run, Beast of Burden, Shore 2 Shore, Water Gap 50k or Virgil Crest. They do get into a great riff on self reliance, Phish, and the Olympics. Phred speaks so much, and so well in this episode that Cultra management has allegedly insisted on a urine sample. The greatness of this episode cannot be denied, but will be questioned in perpetuity due to the cloudy test results. Basically three dudes talking shit about the man, and occupying a groovy space on the matrix known as Cultra.

  • Delightful Maine ultra runner Lila Gaudrault joins us to tell how it felt to run 72 miles in 12 hours at Notchview, and a week later run her first ever 100 mile distance as she raced the Vemont 100 securing a tacit 2nd place photo finish. Lila was the ME XC high school champion as a Sophomore and Junior then stepped away from XC in order to choose a longer path in Ultra Running, and we are so glad she did! Don't miss it!

  • After an amazing Cultra classic cold opening, Jimmy Mac, Ding Dong, and AFB try really hard to stay on topic, but end up talking way too much about trashy novels, L. Ron Hubbard, palm personal lubricants, and the showing of tattoos. We do spend time ruminating about the oldest 100K in the USA, The Jack Bristol Lake Waramaug 100K, and the amazing folks that shared the day. We also take some time with our Patreons, and post up an opportunity to become a #CultraPortaPodcastFamous Patreon

  • Antonio Tovar is a Field Experience Representative for HOKA and he joined Connecticut's #1 Running Instagram poster and coincidental HOKA super fan Runner Rob @Robsroadtoultra Amatruda, Phred and AFB as we tear a wide gaping hole in everything you ever thought about running shoes. Tovar is a wealth of shoe knowledge and he is not afraid to talk shit either! We answer all the technology questions, and ask the question "is Altra, HOKA's little bitch after introducing a non zero drop shoe?" We rage against the NIKE machine and ultimately trick Tovar into disclosing company secrets, which will be rebranded shortly into the JOKA ONE ONE DOOKIE (112), complete with BYRAM sole, short term memory foam, reach around technology, and the happy ending cushioning. Did Cultra finally sell out, sure, but its so worth it!
