Halimah Marcus Rides on the Level (with Liam Billingham)

About this episode

Halimah Marcus discusses her love for cycling and horseback riding while reminiscing about college with Sebastian Langdell.

The first Thursday of each month, Secretly Sporty takes a recovery day and releases an episode of Rest Day Radio.  And in our first edition, Electric Lit editor and author Halimah Marcus comes on the show to talk about her love for cycling and horseback riding.  She and Sebastian reminisce about their time in college together, trade stories of traumatic moments involving horses, and discuss how writing is a lot like a long uphill bike ride (in a good way!).  They’re also joined by podcast producer and host Liam Billingham, who swaps notes with Halimah on the best Peloton classes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
