Summary
Today we’re joined by the amazing soul singer/songwriter and super mum - Talia Dean. Talia was first on our screens on The X Factor in 2017 and has gone on to have an amazing career in the music business. Her mentor? None other than Queen Rock Legend Brian May.
Talia is known for expressing her emotions by writing deep and honest lyrics, but she also processes her emotions by going for a nice run!
She may not have the gear, and sometimes go running in her pyjamas, but to be a runner you just have to be the person who gets out there...
Even if you do get distracted by a duck on the way.

| 0:09.0 | Hello there. Welcome to RunPod. I'm Jenny Faulkner and today, well, I'm very excited to be joined by someone who has just started her running journey recently, really really even after being diagnosed with a pretty |
| 0:21.8 | serious degenerative inflammatory arthritis right she is amazing i met her a few years ago i can't |
| 0:28.1 | remember exactly when but it was a few years ago she is such a brilliant singer and she first came to |
| 0:32.5 | her attention on the x-factor i think it was 2017 and since she has worked with Brian May, as the lead singer in a |
| 0:40.6 | band he put together called King's Daughter. She's released solo music, she's doing a load of |
| 0:46.8 | stuff on her own, but more than that, she is a mum and she is a runner. Welcome to Run Pod, |
