My extreme hobbies - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

Two iPM listeners take their hobby to extreme.

Rachel ran a marathon when she was a teenager. Then a few years ago she challenged herself to run 26 marathons in 3 years, one for every letter of the alphabet. Twenty down, and six to go, she takes Luke for a training run.

Meanwhile, Mary wanted to make a difference so for 18 months has been protesting, on her own, outside a government department dressed in a badger outfit. Luke finds out why.
