How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? This week's episode is popping off! There's a Yesvember dichotomy, San Francisco says welcome back to parkrun, there's maybe flies on wood and seals in waterfalls, concerns on changes to parkrun culture, and Danny learns all about Newbury with his visit to Victoria Park parkrun.
It's stacked and packed this week! It's Yesvember. We prove a husband wrong. We learn about Allerheiligen. There's Celebrity Traitors and The Great British Bake Off. There's the new Parkrace app. There's Baby Wonky Bears. Tiny Steve makes tiny history. Nicola wore Hallowe'en fancy dress. And 'King' Danny had a Coronation Park parkrun-filled morning.
An opening nichetacular niche with a little parkrun history brought to you by Danny and joined by Bev and Nigel once again whilst Nicola is away. There's the best bit of community at Hagley parkrun in Christchurch NZ, Bev ambassadors for 5k Your Way at Kingston parkrun plus Danny and Nigel pop to Storeys Field reborn at Brook Leys parkrun in Cambridge.
There's marshal marshmallows, Danny goes honey nuts, a very niche once in a parkrun lifetime opportunity, we say hello to a new listener, a tactical Christmas wish, Nicola went west side to Moss Side at Alexandra parkrun in Manchester and Danny did 10-years straight at Riddlesdown parkrun in Croydon.
No fireworks, just good ol' parkrun chat. Should every 50-milestones be a Thing? Have you seen Match of the Day? Are you a hugger or a handshaker? Plus both Nicola and Danny are too tired to tour far far away (Nic Nic at Lister Park parkrun parkrun and Danny at Queen Elizabeth parkrun parkrun). Sacreligious, we know.
Guten Tag! It's a German Unity Day special once again, where Danny went to the awesome Allerpark parkrun in Wolfsburg and the georgous Georgengarten parkrun in Hannover. There's naughty candidates, a permanent parkrun CEO announcement, Storm Amy impacts and much more in this week's episode. Not forgetting Nicola did a non-Thing at Lister Park, Bradford for her 750th parkrun.
Early birds Nicola and Danny mostly stick to parkrun, with AI, wildlife attacks, Elvis festivals at Porthcawl parkrun, memory lane trips and parkrun Australia's main sponsor Medibank's number one tourist suggestion as just some of the topics. There's also some last minute 5k app and API access updates.
Nicola and Danny give some feminine cl-apps about the 5k app becoming parkrun official. Danny takes Jem up the Arsenal, there's a new **** blanket (aka dry robe), an intense mintense suspense story, and they both stayed local 'cause life.
Danny is back with Bev, Dolly and Nigel once more. There's geneology, accidental absences, first-timer introductions, the parkrun primary initiative, socks, Things, reluctant cancellations and Danny popped down toward the New Forest for Fordingbridge Recreation Ground parkrun and forgot the bridge.
Dolly or Bev? It's Bev! In fact both are standing in for Nic Nic this week. There's also an additional live audience of one. Danny expands on his thoughts about the media's superlative hooks and the precedent setting. We say farewell to Co-op, talk Joe Wicks at Town Moor parkrun, chat about the junior parkrun survey 2025, say hi to the new Storeys Field parkrun and recap the perfect day at Durlston Country Park parkrun.
We're back and ready to chat! Nicola and Danny reflect on what's happened in parkrunworld during their summer break. There's unexpected first finisher tokens, a loving tribute, general thoughts and oversight. There's Patrons' Things, and the pair let you know what they got up to in their absence.
It's been seven years of your favourite parkrun podcast! There was a frog chorus up at Vogrie parkrun, Conwy parkrun returns to a little controversy, there's photography woes, the sugar people didn't come out to play, Nicola did a THING with her 250th different event at Trentham Gardens parkrun in Stoke-on-Trent and Danny Jones wound the clock back 60-years at Aberdare parkrun in south Wales.
A musical number this week. Sporific speech. Parental milestones. Strange behaviours. 10 Year Health Plans. Things. Nicola celebrated in 250 green at Chevin Forest parkrun north of Leeds and Danny finally made it to Sheringham parkrun in north Norfolk and had a smashing time.
It's a quickie. Cat floof, Two Tunnels, beewolf wasps, little hugs, Bushy's Octogenarian meetup, McFly, HPTT logo memories, Nicola coaches Poppy at Armley parkrun and Danny wants to protect Kingston parkrun.
Small measures, Enyas, parkrun concludes the parkrunner Support Ambassador role, Pinetums, Nic Nic edges closer to her Thing by running the paths at Rushcliffe parkrun in Nottingham and Danny records chaotic good at the new Brickfields Park parkrun in Bath.
Stoic Bev, Bridge experiences, 'the gift of parkrun', our condolences to Frimley Lodge parkrun, the CEO job, hot comments, Nicola had sun and sea at Withernsea Promenade parkrun on the north-east coast and Danny fulfilled a profile promise a few months later than intended at Morden parkrun in south-west London.
Impersonation, cat emojis, Hampster Dances, Newport parkrun's Chris Davies becomes an MBE, Things that change to Not Things, the 7th annual 'Matthew Storey Convention', Trentham Gardens parkrun gets big, big bridge race FOMO, Nicola forgets how cancellations work and pops to Roberts Park parkrun north of Bradford, whilst Danny was at the hive of activity that is Hove Promenade parkrun in Brighton & Hove.
Gotcha Days, voelunteer sashes, horrific arbitrary milestone shirts plus the wrestling pandas of WWF UK partner with parkrun UK. Nicola keeps up her tourism by visiting Wynyard Woodland parkrun and spots Regal Lenny, whilst Danny was over in The Netherlands in rainy Swamsterdam at Amsterdamse Bos parkrun and then was Whit Me Now over at Beatrixpark parkrun in Almere.
Bridging gaps. Lumps in throats. It's Volunteers Week in the UK. parkrun hits 11-million registrations. A new participant makes parkrun a 'habit'. Nicola overcame FOMO by going to Riverside parkrun in County Durham and then Newark parkrun. Plus a big Thing for Danny as he went to Stockholm, visiting Judarskogen parkrun and then his 500th different event at Haga parkrun. (And a nice mention for Meon Valley Trail parkrun, Wickham just before that).
Magical birdsong apps, more pontificating, Danny's memory has got rusty, parkrun take shoelaces up a notch, Nicola shows concern for all our funnels backing up and Danny did a bit of history deepdiving after If I Fitzmaurice Park parkrun, I Sitz Park parkrun.
