Red Bull, the world-renowned energy drink brand, recently launched a new running podcast where hosts Erin Azar (from Pennsylvania) and Ayo Akinwolere (from London), celebrate the extraordinary and the everyday stories of running around the world.
In each episode, each one of the hosts interviews a different person and then, the hosts comment on the stories told by the interviewees. In the April 14, 2022 episode they interviewed Coach Adolfo Salgueiro and Estonian freestyle skier and Olympic medalist Kelli Sildaru.
Past guests include Alphatauri Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly, British poet and novelist Helen Mort, eco-explorer Mario Rigby, hijab-wearing pioneer runner Rahaf Khatib and ultrarunner Dylan Bowman, among others. As of Thursday, April 14, 2022, Coach Adolfo Salgueiro has become part of this select group.
“The podcast producers found the story of my experience running with my dad since I was a kid – explained Coach Adolfo – and contacted me through my website. Everything happen very quickly, and, in a few days, Erin and producer Philippa Geering were interviewing me. It was an enjoyable conversation about running. I couldn’t be happier with the result.
“During the conversation, when we were talking about my experience starting to run with my dad in the mid-1970s, as a pre-teen, Erin requested we called him to join into the conversation, which he did.”
