Last year, Din\\xe9e Dorame, a citizen of the Navajo Nation, made her podcast debut as a guest on the Ali on the Run Show. Today: She\'s a podcast host of her own! At the beginning of 2021, Din\\xe9e launched her show, the Grounded podcast, which explores the intersection of running, community, land, and culture. On this episode, Din\\xe9e reflects on how the show has changed her life, and how she has found her voice and interview style along the way. She talks about being a recipient of the first-ever Tracksmith Fellowship program, and about being seen in the running community for all that she is, and not as simply "the Native runner." Plus, Din\\xe9e offers an update about how her own running is going, and the latest developments in her Accessory Navicular Syndrome. And she shares stories about interviewing some of her first guests on the Grounded podcast, including the legendary Billy Mills, Jordan Marie Daniel, and Meb Keflezighi (who surprisingly FaceTimed Din\\xe9e \\u2014 who was in her pajamas \\u2014 before their interview).
