Toc returns to the host chair to an inbox overflowing. Mel loves the emails that mention her Magpies and discussions continue about Number Checkers. We hear from Calum at Holyrood, PK joins from the new Drage Reserve and Lyndell the Legendary celebrates at Golden Beach parkrun. Did you Tu-Tu up last week? Dazzas was full of colour, just the way we like it!

This week Mel has a familiar yet new voice on the pod. You'll need to be patient to see who's who, so listen up now.

All the fun was on the Bellarine this week with Mel partying at Portarlington, and TOC travelling down via Emerald Lake parkrun. Coincidentally, we have a roving report from Emerald Lake as well as one from St. Albans in the UK and Neckarufer in Germany. Plus - all the usual banter. There’s even an announcement at the end. The clue is in the title. I’m not saying it’s a good clue…

We found him!! No, not Simon – although he’s here with Mel this week after gatecrashing Sirromet’s party. Fresh from a Vergara visit, Mel has challenges on the brain trying to keep Reginald engaged, so he doesn’t run away like the previous unpaid staff. The roving reporters are busy, reporting in from Gordon Carmichael Reserve, Beeeevahhh (Belvoir) Castle and Tamborine Mountain. Oh yeah … and we found Budgie.

We’re feeling patriotic this week! Mel revisits Sale parkrun and TOC adventures north to grab a new event at Huskisson. We have NZ stats, Royal news from the UK, plus roving reports from Beverley Westwood, Hanmer Forest and Birtinya Island parkruns. Reginald is feeling passionate, Charles emails with a Tassie update and the launches roll in. Oi Oi Oi!

Simon’s back from leave to join Mel on Level Two. While he recaps his holiday break, the roving reporters join in from Ashburton Domain, North Harbour and Queens Domain parkruns. Plus, there was a swather of launches across the world. Listen in and remember to look out for the listener challenge.

It’s a new year of podding and we are out of the gates with Melissa & TOC, catching up on their Christmas & New Year parkrun holidays. Our roving reporters have been busy too! This week we feature Ali Sheppard from Hellbrunn and Bushy parkruns, as well as Lyndell the Legendary at Gainsborough Greens.  

It’s our Christmas edition and Mel is joined by Simon, Toc & Sarah to recap their highlights and achievements from 2024, and look forward to what may come in the new year.  Crack a bon bon, put your party hat on and enjoy our festive banter as we wrap up another year of the parkrun adventurers.

A surprise co host pops in to talk about the weekend away for Whitemark Wharf parkrun. Simon goes to another Birthday celebration, at Minnippi parkrun. Budgie's plans are changed. Two parkrunners break Australian records in longer events. There's a new first, with ANZ Pioneer achieved. Roving reports from Callum at Wendover Woods, Lyndell at Underwood Park and Em from Whitemark Wharf. Reginald checks in with regards to cancellations. Dazza had some creative Mo's and NZ adds yet another new parkrun.

Join Mel & TOC as they navigate the weekly parkrun news, rightly or wrongly, from across the globe. Sarah takes one small step towards South Beach Recreation Reserve, Alison follows a Southern Path and Tracey choo choo choo’s off to Old Esk Railway Station parkrun. Listen in, B4 it’s old news…
