I really enjoy listing to your podcasts. Wondering if you could date them?

Ah, yes, Ren – I appreciate that feedback. It’s funny, when I listen to other podcasts I often wish I had a date to refer to, and now I’m doing the same thing myself.
Thanks so much for listening! I’m so glad you enjoy them.

I don’t do gadgets when I run, but your podcasts have- several times- made housework much more fun.

Ha! That’s awesome! I, too, listen to podcasts when I do housework – and when I run I listen to the wind/traffic/ocean/my breathing/etc.

Discovered your podcast the other day via your intro on RunRunLive. Looking forward to the interview on the next edition. Listened to the first podcasts during my run last nigt and was inspired to take my shoes off halfway as I was on a grassy path where it was pleasant to do so. (See also latest blog entry.) I’m so pleased to have a woman podcaster to listen to during runs again since the demise of the GeekGirlRunner one. Thanks for putting the show together.

Hey,
Could you include a non-proprietary download link for the podcast (for those of us who don’t have and don’t want iTunes, but want to listen to the pod on our devices)?
Thanks!

Eddie – thank you so much for your note about having a download link for the Run Barefoot Girl Podcast – and I apologize for taking ages to respond! Your words prompted me to include an MP3 link with each podcast post, so you’ll find all of them on http://runbarefootgirl.com/podcasts/ and the same links on each blog post I write announcing podcast publishing. Thank you so much – it takes a village to raise a podcast, eh?

As a girl who wears run skirts, I aspire to own a Nuu Muu dress. I must save for it. I am a 5 finger and barefoot runner not a lot of running but maybe 10 miles of trail, clay, track, beach activity depending on the mood.I appreciate your show, thank you.

Thanks, Karen, for your note! Sounds like you enjoy your activity and give yourself lots of variety. Good for you! I hope you get a Nuu-Muu dress – they’re fun.
Thanks for the compliment on the show! ~Caity

As I listen to more of your shows I wonder why being barefoot is such a big deal. We went barefoot every summer and after school unless zories/flipflops were necessary for rigid extablishments. As I reflect I remember some family members chiding my mother about our bare feet insisting that we have come far enough financially and socially that bare is no longer necessary or acceptable. I also remember some of my worst foot pain as a child was when I visited relatives that insisted on shoes. I stepped on a nail that went all the way through the sneaker and out the top. I developed curved pinkie toes that rub in shoes. I banged my toes on the front of shoes when growing so fast that my mother couldn’t keep up and damaged the bed of two toes so that the nail does not to this day grow properly.
If its cold just wear thick socks. My nephew chose tumbling and martial arts based on the fact that he did not like shoes. One of my adult sons has always preferred bare especially since the pain of army boots.
Keep your show coming.

Karen, extremely belated thanks for your post. I agree – being barefoot shouldn’t be such a great big deal.
I’m sorry to hear about all the negative circumstances you had as a child with shoes, and I imagine it’s so common, unfortunately. I hope children in the future will have opportunities, like your nephew, to choose barefoot living (even if only for a martial arts class once in a while).
BTW, my son takes Aikido, which requires bare feet. The only problem we have about it is the teacher insists on perfectly clean feet… which is fine for kids who wear shoes all the time (their feet are encased in shoes that keep them pink-clean all day). My son’s feet are always so dirty because he prefers to be barefoot.
I hope you’re still enjoying the Run Barefoot Girl show!

Great podcast. Is there a non-itunes, regular rss podcast feed for android?

ditto the rss feed. It’s a standard cross platform way of distributing a podcast and I’d love to see it available for this podcast. Nice work on it!

ah I see now, the itunes link is actually an rss link. Perhaps you could repeat the link on the podcasts page somewhere using an rss icon and then we non-apple people will know what to do. Cheers Caity.
