I'm Steve Boyette, and this is Pod Runner.

Hey everybody, welcome to Pod Runner in over an hour at 105 beats per minute, called Globe Trotter.

I called it that because there's a definite world music vibe to the core of this mix,

with Middle Eastern, Indian, South American, Spanish, and more influences throughout.

The tone and energy remain fairly steady throughout the mix, and though the energy intensifies as it goes,

it doesn't really work up to the big peak that most of the faster BPM mixes do,

which I think is more appropriate for a walking speed mix.

These mixes are more walking companion and less drill instructor yelling at you to keep going.

Right tool for the right job, you know?

I highly recommend checking out the playlist with this mix on podrunner.com,

not only because I think the music is great and worth exploring,

but also because two of the tracks are free downloads.

They're both from Impers, an artist I think is terrific.

His ending track on this mix, Coastline, is just gorgeous.

Other great work here comes from Liam Thomas, Clangstein, Luca Dracar,

Billion Watchers, Lexi Rose, and Roman.

The overall feeling is very open and breezy, like a nice outing in the sun,

which I hope will be your experience with this mix as your partner.

If it is, please visit the Donate page at podrunner.com.

Listener contributions are the only thing that keeps podrunner going,

so that not only can these mixes stay available to make your workouts more efficient,

more effective, and more fun, but they can do it without commercial interruptions or sponsor distractions.
