Podcast

Welcome to Chafing the Dream, the official podcast of The Flying Pig Project. Every episode is a conversation with someone who has a story worth sharing. Sometimes we’ll talk about running, sometimes we won’t, but we’ll always laugh and keep things real. My hope is that you’ll laugh, learn something new, and leave feeling like your time was well spent.
