2.38. The Sister Episode, Des Edition

Des Linden and Kara Goucher
About this episode

We have a very special guest for this episode, and you won't want to miss it! In fact, this might be the episode to watch on YouTube if that isn't your normal routine. [Don't forget to hit subscribe while you are there.]

Introducing... Natalie Steele, Des's older and taller and wiser(?) sister!

She joins the show to spill all of the dirt on Des while gushing on her a little bit too. You get an inside peak into their lives as sisters as Kara asks all of the questions you might want to know, including:

  • Who was the biggest troublemaker as a child?
  • Who had the most boys after her?
  • How much did they fight over the landline phone before caller ID?!?
  • How were they as teammates on the high school soccer team together?
  • What did she think of Des moving away to Arizona State and the Michigan?
  • What's it like as a spectator for Des at big races from the Olympics Trials to winning Boston?
  • What would surprise us to know about Des?
  • Where did they get the adventure travel genes?
  • What is she most proud of about Des's journey?

This one is full of so many laughs and all of the feels. Get to know Des in a whole new way through Natalie's eyes!

For this one, we send a special thanks to Brooks Running for being the best presenting sponsor a podcast could have. Go stock up on your favorite Brooks shoes to support the podcast!

And don't worry... Kara's sister episode is coming as the last episode of 2024, releasing on December 31st (Season 2, episode 40). Stay tuned...
