Meet Lucy Boulter — business communications expert, music journalist, soon-to-be co-author of a business book, and (most importantly) my mountain aunty.

Lucy and I met the proper Lake District way: on a mountain. When I was five years old, she joined one of my mum’s group walks up Souther Fell… and somehow never left!

We talk about friendship, belief, confidence, mountains, words, and the strange magic that happens when people walk together long enough.

So here’s your warning: climb a mountain and you might catch the hiking bug… or accidentally pick up an aunty.

Please welcome my mountain aunty, my word-wizard friend, and one of my favourite humans on Earth — Lucy Boulter.

This week on Frankie Moves the Mountains, Frankie is joined by Gary McKee, better known as The Marathon Man. Gary shares the incredible story behind his record-breaking running challenges, the mental strength it takes to keep going when it hurts, and how endurance sport has become a powerful force for fundraising, purpose and inspiration. A truly uplifting conversation about resilience, community and pushing beyond perceived limits.

For his very first episode, Frankie sits down with Richard Warren OBE, a remarkable volunteer with the Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team in the Lake District. Richard has given nearly 40 years of service to mountain rescue across Cumbria, holding multiple senior roles within WMRT and the regional association. His commitment to keeping people safe in the fells was recently recognised with an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.

This episode showcases three powerful things.

The extraordinary achievements of a man who has spent a lifetime serving others.

The curiosity and courage of a nine-year-old who has already walked nearly 900 mountains.

And the emergence of Frankie as a confident, as well thoughtful podcast host. A remarkable pairing for a brilliant first episode
