The main site is at www.blokeology.io but the good people at Libsyn host the podcast and so this microsite exists with just the podcast episodes.
Hop over to the site and you will find all the podcasts there plus loads more posts covering evidence that I hope will help your health, fitness and lifestyle.

Episode Notes
In this episode, we launch into the Summer Shorts for the month of August. The episodes will be around ten minutes long as it's time to get outside, enjoy the open air, take our holidays, and most importantly, catch up on some reading. So, each Summer Short will cover a couple of books that are recommended and one book that I'm going to be reading myself.
This week we have:
80/20 Running: Run Stronger and Race Faster by Training
Slower by Matt Fitzgerald
I’ve mentioned this before. I’m a big fan of Matt’s - his writing
is lucid and revealing. It helps that he’s confirming all my
pre-held convictions and biases. In short, runners run too hard and
don’t rest enough but the truth is, as is normal, more complex than
the simple title of the book. One of my Eight Essential Running Books for
Blokes.

Factfulness by Hans Rosling with Ola Rosling and Anna
Rosling Rönnlund
The quote on the front from Bill Gates is pretty darn good. I
already knew of the website gapfinder.org. There’s a test
there. Take it. I got 8 out of 13 which shows I’ve still got plenty
to learn. See how you get on.

The Confidence Game by Maria Konnikova
This is all about the psychological principles that underpin con
artists and how we get conned. I'm looking forward to lots of
stories of imposters but I’m also hoping to get plenty of insight
into the underlying psychology of the con.
