# The Drop

The Drop is a road running and marathon podcast hosted by Thomas Neuberger, Robbe Reddinger and Meaghan Murray. Co-host chat about shoes, races and running news, plus brand and athlete interviews and a weekly trail spin-off called The Dirt Division in the same feed; most episodes run 75 to 120 minutes, about twice a week.

## What it is
The podcast of the shoe and gear review site Believe in the Run. The main episodes mix first impressions of new road shoes with race-weekend trips, running news and a lot of off-topic banter, while The Dirt Division covers trail shoes and gear. It suits runners who want to hear shoes talked through at length before they buy.

## Why listen
- Regular talk on new shoes such as the Nike Alphafly 4 and Adidas Adios Pro 5, plus picks for the most overrated and underrated shoes of the year.
- Interviews with people inside running brands, for example Tracksmith's CEO and product chief.
- A separate trail strand (The Dirt Division) on trail shoe trends, packs and belts and how shoes are developed.
