Episode 378 - Run the World

It’s a blue moon pod – which means Olly is back to join Mel at Level 2 and bring us up to date on Disney princesses, Welsh launches and sailing. If that isn’t exciting enough – TOC slips in the back door to chat to Run the World creator, Travis Ireland, giving insight into how the innovative platform was created and his journey to find love for parkrun. Rachel dips her toes in the water, Dazza goes bat crazy, and Tassie seems to be the place to be. Tune in…

Episode 377 - Purple Patches

Back to regular programming at Level Two with a View with Mel upping her p-index at Wilson Botanic parkrun while TOC was offering auroras with the sunshine over at the Stump. We chat about the new ED/EA volunteer credits, discuss the Voronoi map, cover May celebrations with the birthday boy, catch up on a swather of launches plus… Johan reports from Piggly Wiggly, Lyndell splits herself between Oakey and Capestone Lake and Marvellous Mark shuns Bushy for Gunnersbury parkrun. Tune in to find out why!

Episode 376 - palm24

It’s PALM24 week, where Mel, Olly, TOC and Simon are joined by a crowd of listeners for a live recording of the pod. After a recap of the morning, Olly chatted with Eman, our on-the-ground PALM organiser, South Toowoomba RD and all-round-good-guy, while Mel interviewed Robbie Hawkswell, founding co-event director and video content creator extraordinaire. Simon was back at the helm of the annual quiz and TOC made a surprise announcement. And even though none of us saw her, somehow Rachel got hold of the mic…

Episode 375 - Outback parkruns

Join Mel underground at Coober Pedy and TOC on the tree stump as we celebrate Nicki Clark in a yellow 1000 volunteer shirt, Shultzy stars on the radio and there are April Fools Day pranks. Lyndall joins us from Harris Avenue, Sarah visits Centennial Park, Tracey goes north to Mackay and the Local Weather Expert explains spinny-roundy things to us. Bec checks in from the remote Cobar parkrun and we chat through all things PALM24 and Longest Run. Our Obi this week is a bloke who walks on water!

Episode 374 - details, details

This week, Mel was auditioning for the Tourism Tasmania Ambassador role in Launceston. Simon was very Scribbly. Tracey talked to Rory and Hilary at Des Connor juniors and PK was going all Radelaidean at South Parra Reservoir. Rachel Parked, Reserved and Oval'd. We celebrated John Day becoming the oldest person to reach 500 parkruns and the Obi went to ... (you'll just have to listen).

 

 

 

 

Episode 373 - Geographical Inaccuracy

Q. What do you get when you cross a rodeo with a hot air balloon spectacular?

A. Mel’s amazing tourism adventure!

This week Mel visited Braidwood showground parkrun, which incidentally wasn’t the location for either. And TOC is backing it up and keeping the recording south of the Murray.

If that’s not confusing enough, Tracey is at Underwood Park parkrun for no particular reason at all.

Hopefully Rachel has her spreadsheet together!

Episode 372 - Don't follow Mel!

What do you get when you have two hosts recording in the Greatest State?

A. Geographical confusion! Oh wait. That’s just Mel. TOC seems to know his compass points, even if he can’t judge his travel times.

Moving on … Mel returned to Cyril Curtain Reserve parkrun with the Melbourne Crew, while TOC was a week early at Ipswich parkrun.

And Rachel inspires some memories of dress up days from the past.

Episode 371 - Out & Moving

With both our hosts returning a tad late from their adventures of the weekend, there's lots to catch up on. From the ups and downs around our adventurer community, to the very long, long runs and walks down under and across the ditch, people have been busy! Hear about Mel's triple treat of Stebonheath, Thorndon Juniors and Adelaide Airport, Olly's Batemans Bay return, plus roving reports from Tracey at Broadbeach Waters and Alison at Gordon Spratt Reserve. After that we'll need another coffee, thanks Dazza!

Episode 370 - What's in the Box?

It’s Simon’s week in the co-host seat and apparently the weather up in Kingsland isn’t as great as they’d have us believe. Never mind. Mel had a lovely warm run at Ball Park parkrun while Simon splashed it out at Chermside. We bring you some thoughts about Codes of Conduct and perceived barriers to participation, plus muse over the Adventurer growth in the UK. And we award an Obi to someone who didn’t even visit Dazzas! Because we can …

Episode 369 - When Paris met Harry

Join us this week as we bring some big discussions with a rollercoaster pod episode. While Olly and Mel give their views on the stats controversy, they also recount their adventure to North Wollongong parkrun. But not before Olly brings news of his own. Lyndell the Legendary lifts the mood with a report from Ipswich, Queensland parkrun, Rachel remembers pods of bygone eras, and we end on a lighter note with celebrations of all descriptions.
p.s. yes, he did check the envelope!
