Description
In April 2015, a viral post on Facebook about the Boston Marathon kicked off a wave of controversy. In this week’s episode, we explore how that controversy turned into a full-blown movement. Today, a league of at-home vigilante race investigators are changing the way we police marathons online for everyone to see. The story takes us from a race in Pennsylvania to the Boston Marathon to a set of spreadsheets (yes, really) to a runner in a suburb in New Jersey. For those outed online, we wonder if the punishment fits the crime.Additional Reading:“Dozens Suspected of Cheating to Enter Boston Marathon” by Kit FoxMarathon Investigation, Derek’s blogEpisode Credits:Host: Rachel SwabyProducers: Kit Fox, Rachel SwabyEditor: David WeinbergTheme music: Danny CockeHuman Race editor-in-chief: David WilleyHuman Race is a proud part of Panoply.Follow us on Twitter (@rwaudio) and Facebook (Runner's World Audio).
