The Running Loose Podcast is back... and it's Glorious (Goodwood)!

After a short break, Francesca Cumani and Vanessa Ryle return with a brand-new series! They chat camping, skinny dipping, all things Goodwood, Instagram "thirst traps" and the new gambling rules shaking up racing.

Plus: how can one good horse completely transform a trainer's career? And should racing bring back old-fashioned match races between the sport's biggest stars?

There's also plenty of the usual Running Loose chaos - including birdwatching, gardening, life advice from an 80-year-old, and a teaser about Vanessa's mystery date that you'll have to wait until next week to hear...
