The Drop

Believe in the Run

A running podcast from Believe in the Run, The Drop is brought to you by hosts Thomas Neuberger, Robbe Reddinger, and Meaghan Murray. But this isn't your typical running podcast– we'll talk about running (of course), but also discuss a wide range of topics, from pop culture to pigeons (not real) to picking up trash here in Baltimore. We also interview elite athletes, industry insiders, musicians, coaches, and more. Follow along as we also discuss our own running highs and lows, as well as our favorite shoes and gear.

113 | Erin Azar aka Mrs. Space Cadet
The second most famous runner we've ever interviewed (I mean, who can top Kipchoge?), Erin Azar is the running queen of Tiktok and Insta reels. Probably because she's funny as hell and puts out the most relatable running content that we've all experienced at some time in our run journeys. We talk about how she got started, where she's going, and the wild world of being a social media star.
