A running podcast from Believe in the Run, The Drop is brought to you by hosts Thomas Neuberger, Robbe Reddinger, and Meaghan Murray. But this isn't your typical running podcast– we'll talk about running (of course), but also discuss a wide range of topics, from pop culture to pigeons (not real) to picking up trash here in Baltimore. We also interview elite athletes, industry insiders, musicians, coaches, and more. Follow along as we also discuss our own running highs and lows, as well as our favorite shoes and gear.

I have been an avid listener to The Drop for well over a year now. I listen to this podcast when I’m walking my dog Millie and when I’m commuting to work. It is entertaining, interesting and informative. If you enjoy a good conversation between friends then this is the podcast for you.
Cory the MS Science Teacher · May 2026
As a trail-forward runner, I’m enjoying the Dirt Division episodes - good content and great guests. What would make it even better would be if Taylor stopped interrupting so much. When he kept interrupting his co-host, I figured they were having technical issues, but when he interrupted Sophia Laukli during pretty much every answer, I got frustrated because I wanted to hear what she had to say.

I love the Friday podcast. It’s chaos with a touch of running talk. Perfect for my runs. I consistently do not listen to the Monday podcast. I find that the amount of times that the BITR crew cut off their guests when speaking is hard to listen to. Gives their interview style a choppy and uncomfortable feel.

Great podcast that is perfect to listen to while running or doing any activity. If you love running and all the gear behind it you need to listen to this podcast!!! Plus you can also watch on YouTube to get video content
VinodJ181 · Apr 2025
Not sure what’s happened but a show about running and their influencer life, that was entertaining, has become chock full of medical misinformation and conspiracy theories. Maybe the old “no birds” joke became real or their hoping for a Rogan audience. In the new studio someone should write “podcasters that aren’t doctors should not give uniformed medical advice”. Seriously, I listened since its inception, watched the videos and participated in grit and this is tough. The running community practically runs on alternative medicine scams and that’s bad enough. If you try to fix an ankle with magic, maybe the worst is your out $20. Having people breezily spout nonsense that could literally kill someone if they listen to it instead of their doctor is not ok. Saying something is bad, based on uniformed opinion one week and then sorta saying you didn’t mean it the next, but then sorta doubling down again does not absolve the potential damage done. I like these guys (and gal) and will still watch the YouTube reviews bc they are qualified to talk about that. As for the pod, it’s not enough to fast forward pass the woo and misinformation. It’s time for me unsubscribe.

Enjoyed the podcast in the beginning but noticed as time went out in interviews and topics that Taylor does seem to make the conversations about himself, hopefully with time they’ll let guests and other co-hosts contribute and be able to expand on topics. Let’s right the ship!
