Welcome to the Kexp Runcast. I am John Richards, your host, and a tradition here on The Runcast is to have our friend, fellow runner, and great DJ, Kevin Cole, take over for one of the Runcast, and he's going to do just that. So stay tuned for Kevin. He is here and ready to go. Take it away, Kevin.

Thanks, John. Appreciate the opportunity to host the Run cast and be a part of a tradition. I've got a lot of great music. I'm excited to share along with a couple special guests. I'm going to get right into it with two really empowering songs. First up, Cloud Cult, I am a force field. This would be a good one to warm up to a bit and to start your run.

Call me Christopher.

I've been going to solve all of my problems with imaginary friends who are there when

I need them.

And I've been seeing back sons and I've been hearing

demons and they say that they are here because I'm pushing down my feelings wrote a letter

to my future self what the hell I think you're gonna get better with a little self-esteem

and there's a little kid inside me trying to remind me that I am a force field

I am a force field and I and I I I'm

I'm

the

I'm

I'm

I'm

I'm alone.

I guess it's something that I accidentally learned from my dad.

So I'm hiding in the words with a shovel and some photos digging up feelings I never knew I had.

And I've built me a tree fort with a trapdoor where I'm feeling inside and I knew I had and I built me a tree for

with the trapdoor

but I'm the only one I ever catch

and there's a little kid inside me
