Please can you ensure that the "artist" field in the iPOD download is consistent? Sometimes it's "Tom Williams & Martin Yelling", sometimes it's "Tom" and sometimes it's "Martin Yelling & Tom Williams". This makes it harder to find the right episode to playback. Otherwise, great show. Thanks.

With just two years until the opening of the London Olympics we spoke to Britain's last marathon medalist Charlie Spedding and talked to the head of the BBC's Olympic website Mark Coyle. Tony's Trials returned and we launched the Marathon Talk Smackdown.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your comment.
It should be consistent from now on. The 'artist field' info is taken from the editing software we use (Garage Band), initially we weren't aware of that and so it varied depending on which computer the specific episode had been edited on. From now on it should always come up as 'Tom Williams & Martin Yelling'. I don't think that we can alter episodes that have already been published however.
Hope that solves the problem?
Kind regards
Tom

Posts: 32The Charlie Spedding interview is my all-time fave.
I cannot recommend his autobiography 'From Last To First' highly enough. Honest, open, & easily accessible...

Posts: 14I've just read the book too and found it a very interesting read. To read about the number of injuries and set backs that he had, and his ability to overcome these in the end was very motivational. Well done!
