Running Scared
The Running Scared podcast is a deep dive into the horror and thriller films that had you running away but coming back for more. Hosts Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts guide you through the films offering our opinions and insight - but mostly opinions - about what we found hair raising, hilarious and downright haunting. We also create original horror audio narratives intended to motivate joggers (aka jogcasts). Please note each episode contains spoilers.
