parkrun adventurers podcast

Are we out of a job? With artificial intelligence taking over much of our lives, just how long is it until this very podcast is hosted by Hal and Deep Blue? At least one more week, we believe. So until then, join us to hear about Mel's visit to Calembeen parkrun and Olly's... well, Olly. We hear from Alison at Russell Park parkrun, NZ, while Tracey shares a video from Chermside parkrun. So whether you're an adventurous spirit or just looking to add a little excitement to your parkrun routine, this podcast is for you! Disclaimer: some of this description may have been written by a computer.

This week, Mel’s South Australian adventure concludes at Oaklands Estate Reserve parkrun with celebrations and a roving report from Sarah from the Westside.

We hear from Lyndell out at Kirra parkrun and Rachel returns with more Club Corner.

And we have some announcements!!!

Be sure to tune in.

It’s a summer holiday edition of the pod this week with Mel back in South Australia adventuring to Goolwa parkrun and Thorndon junior parkrun. Olly donned the RD vest, welcoming adventurers from afar, while Tracey sent us a roving report from Scribbly Gums Conservation parkrun. We had lots of newcomers at Dazzas, the Obi has gone to an old favourite, and there’s a new boy in town … a birthday boy!

This week, while Olly was playing removalist, Mel decided to breakout and head north to Cowra parkrun. We have roving reports from Perry Hall parkrun, UK, Living Colour parkrun, Sth Africa and Osbourn Metropark parkrun, USA plus Rachel is back with more Club Corner. While all goes to plan at Dazza’s, there is controversy in the Consolidated Club Report, with a shock frond result leading to a bit of a soapbox moment.

Mel & Olly have returned and one of them had adventures. Can you guess which one? The Chanel 5 News Crew were out and about over the break with PK at Lochiel and Alison at Warwick Racecourse parkruns on Christmas Eve, and TOC popped in ‘on the run’ at Torrens parkrun on New Years Day. There’s a new segment to enjoy. Surprise! Dazza’s returns with an added bonus, and the time capsule has been refilled and stuffed back into the cupboard.

While Mel and Olly enjoy a well-earned break, the Office Lady drops in to bring you a summer lite version of the pod.

She shares week 1 details of the 14 parkruns in 14 days road trip she and Luke are currently on, tells us some interesting stats from the festive season, and delves into the Dazza’s content.

And we hear from a whole bunch of the news crew who share their 2023 parkrun goals.

It’s the office Christmas party and there’s merriment a plenty! In our final show for the year we hear from Sarah at Dawesville parkrun while Mark catches up with Lyndell at Mount Ainslie parkrun.

We have listeners and news crew dropping in with bon bon jokes, ugly Christmas shirts galore plus mail, obi’s and looking back on future predictions.

This week there are records a plenty and we all stop to bathe in the glory that is the greatest state. That’s right, while the cat’s away… Simon Mackley joins Mel in the host chair. We hear from Tracey at Surfers Paradise parkrun and Alison is back with a report from Hamilton Park parkrun in NZ. Dazza’s has an all abilities theme, the Obi envelope turns up somewhere rather pretty, and we’ve all moved on from kick-yay.

It’s all about the beach this week! Tune in to hear about Kick-yay and Cuddle-ball and why Olly is so tired. Mel gives a recap of PoW parkrun and #parthwalk. The Channel 5 News Crew bring us roving reports from Prince of Wales parkrun and Melkbosstrand parkrun. Plus, we have a Guerilla Report from Casula Parklands. Dazza debates crunchy vs smooth, there’s a shock result in the Consolidated Club report, and Siri is back with all her wisdom.
