hello and welcome to Runners only with
00:00:02
dom Harvey uh as you can see in the
00:00:05
background that's my logo for the
00:00:07
podcast Runners only with dom Harvey
00:00:09
that was launched oh come on
00:00:14
never work with children or animals come
00:00:16
on as you can see in the background it's
00:00:18
the logo for my podcast Runners only
00:00:20
with dom Harvey which
00:00:22
um I'm this sounds cheesy to say but I'm
00:00:25
incredibly proud of the podcast was
00:00:27
launched in March April 2022 at the time
00:00:31
I decided to call it Runners only with
00:00:33
dom Harvey because
00:00:34
it felt um like the podcast Market was
00:00:37
quite congested and it felt like that it
00:00:39
was necessary to have a niche and
00:00:42
running something that I'm passionate
00:00:43
about I love talking about running I
00:00:45
love running I love hanging with other
00:00:47
Runners so it seemed like a perfect fit
00:00:49
for a podcast
00:00:51
what's happened over the last
00:00:53
um 18 months or so since the podcast
00:00:55
launched is it has grown in ways that I
00:01:00
could never have foreseen and never have
00:01:02
imagined
00:01:04
um the caliber of guests we've had the
00:01:06
download numbers the listeners the
00:01:08
feedback everything has just um it's
00:01:11
blown me away quite frankly and it's
00:01:13
been overwhelming and one thing I've
00:01:16
noticed is that a lot of the guests that
00:01:18
come in
00:01:19
um the first thing that they say when we
00:01:20
open the conversation is they'll make a
00:01:22
comment about them not being a runner
00:01:24
some of these guests include the Mad
00:01:26
Butcher John Hart formal black coach
00:01:28
Susie Cato Rachel Hunter the list goes
00:01:30
on and on and on so all right and
00:01:33
there's messages every other week like
00:01:35
this message from
00:01:36
Saucy Susie this is not written with a
00:01:39
negative context but have you considered
00:01:42
changing the name of your podcast to
00:01:43
remove the runner's only title I I
00:01:45
didn't listen at first as I thought it
00:01:47
was related more to running or Sports
00:01:49
how wrong I was
00:01:51
and how amazing every podcast is imagine
00:01:54
if others out there are like I was
00:01:57
Dom you are helping and empowering so
00:02:00
many I think you've only just scratched
00:02:02
the surface of your podcast tuning thank
00:02:04
you for what you're doing how you're
00:02:06
doing it and for being you
00:02:09
so for Saucy Susie and the literally
00:02:13
hundreds of other people that have DM
00:02:14
for me I I honestly get at least a
00:02:16
couple each week from people saying I'm
00:02:17
not a runner I put off listening because
00:02:19
I'm not a runner I don't like running
00:02:20
blah blah blah
00:02:23
um I thought it's time for a change a
00:02:25
Rebrand this is very exciting
00:02:28
Runners only with dom Harvey is no more
00:02:31
it is now the Dom Harvey podcast same
00:02:36
guy actually the same content as well
00:02:38
the Dom Harvey podcast
00:02:40
so what does this mean exactly well to
00:02:43
be honest very little uh not much is
00:02:47
going to change it's going to be the
00:02:48
same amazing guess
00:02:49
similar sort of conversations to what
00:02:51
we've been having and in all honesty my
00:02:53
love of running hasn't hasn't changed so
00:02:55
if there's Runners that I'm interested
00:02:58
in that I think have got a great story
00:02:59
that is worthy of sharing they'll still
00:03:01
be on the podcast
00:03:03
so the motivation for this is
00:03:05
potentially broadening it so any guests
00:03:08
that are put off coming on because it is
00:03:10
a running podcast will no longer be any
00:03:12
potential listeners that are reluctant
00:03:14
to listen because they hate hearing
00:03:15
about running maybe it'll rope them in
00:03:17
and potentially some new sponsors as
00:03:19
well so it's a very exciting change for
00:03:21
me personally in the podcast uni 18
00:03:23
months in just um a name change a
00:03:25
Rebrand if you will and I cannot thank
00:03:28
you guys enough for the support so far
00:03:30
and hopefully the support moving forward
00:03:33
so Runners only with dom harveyors no
00:03:36
more let us now the Dom Harvey podcast a
00:03:39
big change but also very little change
00:03:41
and wonderful to have you guys along for
00:03:43
the journey let's go
