In this episode, Andy and Jo interview our youngest guest on the pod so far: nine-year-old Oliver Smith.
Oliver, a keen triathlete, set out to raise funds for The Brain Tumour Charity in January 2026 by running the equivalent of nine marathons in four months.
Little did he know then that this would lead to him running with his local MPs, meeting Joe Wicks, completing London's Mini Marathon, being interviewed on TV, going to a film premiere AND meeting his film idols.
On 30 July he was treated to The One Show's 'One Big Thank You'. This episode is his backstory.
You can read his story on our website here and visit his fundraising page here.
