The Parkour UK Podcast
Stories from interesting people across the UK Parkour community! In each of these podcasts we discuss how the guests discovered Parkour, what they think makes a great community, transferable life skills gained by the sport and how Parkour can fit into one’s adult life. We then delve into their unique experiences with the sport and try to coax out as much information as possible that our listeners might find useful, with a particular focus on anyone interested in giving Parkour a go.
