Radar Stemma Turns 1: Behind the Scenes and Stats
In its 52nd episode, the hosts celebrate the milestone with fun statistics, behind-the-scenes stories, and the most-mentioned running brands.
Radar Stemma has hit the 52-episode mark, celebrating a full year of uninterrupted weekly broadcasts. The crew opened up about behind-the-scenes moments, inside jokes, unexpected metrics, and the topics that drove the biggest discussions among runners.
52 episodes blending information and runner sociology
Marking one year of uninterrupted weekly broadcasts and reaching 52 episodes, Radar Stemma has turned its weekly news roundup into an essential hub for the endurance community. Humorously dubbed by the hosts as a true "sociological study of human behavior in running shoes," the show has established a format that balances market analysis, race updates, and the casual vibe typical of post-run banter.
The team's retrospective revealed curious insights into brand presence on air. Among reviewed shoe releases and covered events, Mizuno and Olympikus emerged as the most frequently discussed brands of the year. Meanwhile, Nike maintained a constant presence, spanning iconic tech launches to corporate restructuring tracked by the global market.

Behind the mic and inside the production numbers
Beyond traditional manufacturers, the survey highlighted brands that had not yet appeared in discussions, such as Altra, Diadora, Karhu, Reebok, and Topo Athletic. In the running content creator space, journalist Sérgio Rocha led all mentions and citations across the twelve months of recordings.
Behind the cameras and microphones, the show's crew features journalist Yara Achôa coordinating topics and scripts since the debut episode, Carlos Guimarães extracting analytics, alongside Biel and Guilherme handling video editing and post-production. In the studio, the host panel formed by Fabio Bessa, Cado Santos, and Thiago Kawamura frequently brings on guest experts to enrich technical debates, including appearances by Juliana Cassino, Cado's partner at the Milk agency.
From World Marathon Majors to training banter
Throughout its first year, Radar's discussions spanned the global marathon circuit—covering São Paulo, Boston, Berlin, Valencia, Seville, Durban (South Africa's Comrades Marathon), and stops in Japan. Episode 42, memorable for its creative cover art and fast-paced mix of random topics, became a hallmark of the lighthearted style that defines the show.
The show's core mission remains centered on equipping amateur and professional runners with technical knowledge and critical market insight, ensuring quality conversation for athletes during their weekend long-run meetups.
