Sarah and Simon squeeze in to discuss upcoming festivities. Sarah tightly shares about her time on the North Island of NZ, while Simon breathes in to talk about a unique parkrun experience for him. There are roving reports from Bowen, Wynuum and Parrs Park parkruns. This episode is filled with celebrations and we learn about the importance of double checking your own luggage before leaving home.
Coooeee, Adventurers – Mel and TOC have been doubling up at parkrun – so we have a shorter pod! You’re welcome. That hasn’t stopped them discussing all the things – like big number twos, missing glasses and stinky tops. Luckily the roving reporters bring some stability at Haigh Woodland, Wöhrder See and Renmark parkruns. And can you guess the Who Am I? Four points if you can.
Simon tells us about his many adventures over the last month, while Sarah shares news of her visit to the newest parkrun in the west. They talk Unity Day, launches, and a future prediction. Will it be right? There are roving reports at Neale Park & Henley Lake, Abbey Park and Coolum Eco parkrun. Reginald talks all things Swedish and let’s not forget, it’s time to get booking your pALM adventure for 2026!
We wish to advise, that due to recent office restructures, this weeks pod may be a little longer than usual. Jokes. It’s really because Mel and TOC are back and like a yarn. Blah, blah, blah, change of staff. Blah, blah, blah, palm location announcement. Also those roving reporters love a chat *eyeroll* *hug* *laughing face*, namely at East Brighton, Pallara and Merredin Peak parkruns. Tune in for all the things.
It’s Simon & Sarah’s time to turn up the volume and mix things up this week. Sarah shares all about her adventure to the nation’s capital, while Simon recaps his P-Index achievements. There were roving reports from Lyndell at Scribbly Gums Conservation, Toc at Point Hut Pond and Alison at Caroline Bay parkrun. There’s a swather of launches, percentage wars and yet another new segment. Plus there is something else you may just want to hear, so keep your ears open.
In a busy week, Toc & Mel try get their heads around parkrun launch policy as the marathon factor comes to Sydney. Our roving reporters have been busy as Alison checks in at Halswell Quarry, Dave has a visitor at Averley and Ali bring the news from Wimpole parkrun. Dazza flies in, then stops to count the numbers, Reginald goes O/S and six countries have launches. It’s a marathon episode.
Join Simon and Sarah for lots of positive parkrun news. There’s discussions about Singapore’s events, brutal punishment, and Simon even accepts a challenge! There are roving reports by Yvette at Central Burnaby, Callum at Coronation Park and Tracey at Workman’s Beach parkrun. There are launches, new club members and let’s not forget, Streaky September is just around the corner!
Cooo-eee Adventurers! Roles were reversed this week with TOC heading west to the South and Mel in the West and then staying west. The office is looking cleaner, the Big Apple is ripe for the picking but a cancellation closer to home brings discussion. There are roving reports from Downsview in Canada, Billericay in the UK plus a magical report and celebration from Trentham Gardens. Reginald champions Ireland and with that, the office door is locked up as the Victorians head North.
Office standards are questionable as Mel & TOC return to their comfy chairs. But, what isn’t messy is the enjoyment Mel had at Belair National Park parkrun recently, and TOC’s tourism antics over the last month. We’ve got you covered with news from Te Awa in NZ, Central Lakes in Kingsland and Burnage parkrun in the UK. Plus, Reginald brings us lots of country info from the USA. Now all that is required is a new Cleaner …
After quite a few weeks, Simon shares his parkrun morning mishap while Sarah recaps her recent holiday. We have roving reports from Lyndell on Hamilton Island, Johan at Windhoek and Callum at Dolgellau parkrun. There was a swather of launches, a world record and travel trips discussed. Was that a new segment? Yes, that’s right. Tune in to hear what it’s all about.
This weeks episode is full of celebrations, milestones, speedsters and that’s just the intro! We have news from the Tame Volunteer, Sarah drops into Palmeston and Ruth Perkins Boogie-woogies over at Malmö Ribersborg parkrun. You’re going to want to listen in to this one!
Toc is in the swivel chair this week, after setting a new record at Panboola Wetlands parkrun. Mel stayed local with all the layers at Toolern Creek. We bring you lots of news from The Netherlands Special Day and the NT, which includes roving reports from Katherine Hot Springs, Gungahlin and Burrum Heads Beach parkruns. There’s lots more – but you’ll just have to listen to find out.
In this episode we discover what Mel lost at Reynella East parkrun and hear Simons reflections on Hidden Vale. There’s Ascension Day chatter and a report from Puolarmaari in Finland. Plus lots of mail in the inbox.
Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, Zip-A-Dee-Day, My oh My it’s Tracky Dacky Day! But you won’t know what on earth we mean until you listen. What you will also discover is Mel and Toc excited about new Merch, a swather (yes that old chestnut) of overseas launches, inspirational emoji interpretation and the conversion rate of the British pound. Plus, lucky listeners will get to hear all about Leeton Sport and Recreation Precinct, Hidden Vale and East Otago High School parkruns.
Sarah and Simon team up for another week to bring you the latest in the parkrun world. There are roving reports from Lyndell at Highfields, Ruth at Pont y Bala and Heather from Taree parkrun. There’s mention of a rodeo, lots of launches, endemic species and let’s not forget a tongue twister or few.
With FOMO from last week, Simon joins Mel on Level Two with a View. Mel celebrates at Peppertree while Simon revisits Fodder Forest parkrun. We have roving reports from Lyme Park and Potternewton parkruns’ in the Uk for two special 250 celebrations. Meanwhile Reginald has their Eurovision pants on.
Special guest host Danny Norman from With Me Now pod joins Mel this week on Level Two with a View. Danny adventured to Stuntney Estate parkrun while Mel revisited Berwick Springs. Across the ditch Alison was joining the nuptials at Hagley, while Reginald has begun a new ‘round the world’ trip. Join us for loads of laughs, and marvel at our efforts in pronunciation. We did our best and our best is good enough.
Toc and Mel have returned from New Zealand to enjoy running back on home soil. But not before they caught up again at Pyramid Hill Golf Trail parkrun. Amongst the news from around the globe were roving reports from Calum at Market Bosworth Country, Ingrid at Australian Standing Stones and PK pops in from Port Broughton parkrun. And that’s not the half of it!
Simon and Sarah are both back with a belly full of Easter eggs. They discuss the many records broken this week across Australia and Budgie makes an appearance back down under. There are roving reports from Warrandyte River Reserve and Shrewsbury parkrun. Let’s not forget, a snippet from the founder of this event that brings us together each week.
