Full episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com For episode 036, I headed up to London to meet the inspirational Charlie Dark: runner, musician, DJ, thinker, leader, teacher, speaker, poet and much more. He's a member of seminal Mo’ Wax band Attica Blues, and founder of Run Dem Crew, the running community that has been the inspiration for and catalyst of the entire urban running movement that has taken off globally over the last decade. And if you do know Charlie? Then you’ll probably know the bare bones of the story. You’ve probably also read the same or similar interviews with Charlie countless times over - how he started RDC, the Nike years, his towering influence on the scene and so on. So understandably I was pretty keen not to go over the same old ground with Charlie during our time together. And I’m happy to say that what we’ve got here is a different Charlie Dark chat. One in which we cover plenty of old ground, sure, but also found out where Charlie is now, and what his plans are for the future. As you might expect from this legendary wisdom-dropper, there are plenty of though-provokers to get your head around in this one. I really enjoyed this one. Big thanks to Charlie for coming on the podcast, opening up and getting right into the spirt of the Looking Sideways podcast. Hope you all enjoy it. As ever thanks to Scott Nixon (www.scottnixon.co.uk) for post-production help and Matt Ward (www.linguistine.com) for the theme tune.
