Welcome to Podrunner. I'm Steve Boyette, and coming up is an hour of relentlessly

uplifting music at 152 beats per minute, called Positive Charge. I always hope that Podrunner makes you feel good about your workouts, but I hope this one makes you feel especially glad that you took the effort.

We can always use some positive energy, and right now that's especially true.

The energy ramp up is also a little different for this one.

There's the relatively mild opening section you're probably used to if you've been listening for a while.

It ramps up

pretty steadily to the halfway point and then it starts the peak. The peak intensifies for

about 15 minutes and then the last 15 minutes is a long uplifting feel-good finishing

sequence. So the peak comes a little early and lasts a little longer, and the ending sequence does

the same.

In terms of the way the energy levels and the uplifting vibes act together, I think the

timing works pretty well.

Let me know what you think.

It worked out that the first four tracks in a row are from the Like That Underground

label, and I want to give them a shout out for their quality music.

I use them a good bit on Podrunner.

The music labels are listed with their tracks on Podrunner playlists,

which I am happy to send to you every time a new mix goes online,

along with Mix Links, Background Info, Merch Discounts, and more.

It's all bundled together on the runtime newsletter,

which you can sign up for at podrunner.com. And by way of super clever segwee, also at podrunner.com,

you can listen to a ridiculous and very organized amount of fixed and varied tempo mixes,
