Eric Murray kidnapped a swan (true story) || Runners Only! Podcast with Dom Harvey
Episode Description
EP15 Runners Only! with Dom Harvey & Eric Murray (Part 1)
This is part one of my very first ever two-part podcast. Eric came over and we just yarned for over two hours so I decided to split it in two.
I do need to include a warning here- towards the end we get into a fairly intense discussion about mental health and depression, and in particular the suicide of his good friend Olivia Podmore last year.
If you find any of this triggering, here are some numbers you can call to reach out:
