Your best ding dongs are back with the same old silly sing songs. If you make it past an extremely laborious story, Missy absolutely sends it with some roaring good rhetoric and cool convo about arguably the most underrated Olympic sport: curling (yeehaw let’s do it!). Hannah gives it the old jingle jangle and get’s chattering about chatter rings, a Kiwi classic that is not only practically indestructible but also immediately entertaining and peak annoying (just like this podcast). Grab some cinnamon and give this a hoon in the pan.

What’s ridiculous but super earnest at the same time? You guessed it, this podcast! Hannah does a bit of faffing about (which is on brand) and Missy’s a smelly, moody, broody, cover goose. Tall flopping figures, chaotic flailing, and undulating tall boys, that’s right, this is the inflatable arm man episode. Crazy inflatable arm Han flails through her thought (jk Missy is a big fan). Then, love is in the air, when Missy gives the goss on everyone’s fave 3rd century Roman Saint, Valentine. She serves all the spicy, or should I say vinegary, details of his martyrdom while Hannah sings intermittently and concurrently. There’s also a sneaky, cheeky, and very exciting running announcement this week that’s just waiting to slip n slide down your ear holes.

Two years of this! Happy second birthday Thoughts on a Run! We had the best time clip-clopping (running) from Hamilton to Cambridge. This week, Missy gets monumental and a little bit inspiring as she gives it all that on the Boston Marathon - specifically the women who claimed their spot in one of the worlds oldest races.They ran so we could run! Hannah brings up the rear with some scintillating sequel theory chat (it’s part of the point of the podcast). Does she pull it off? Jury’s still out. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or have just started listening, we’re grateful that you’re here, thank you. If there’s one thing we’ve learnt in the past two years it’s don’t slip over, but go on, slip this over your ear holes.

What’s black and white and red all over? A stingray eating a pie (with tomato sauce). What has that got to do with this week’s episode? Very little. Hannah’s astonished that she made it to the end of the balls. More importantly, on the eve of Thoughts on a Run’s 2nd birthday, it’s twins all round and absolute scenes because Hannah and Missy have THE SAME THOUGHT! It’s tangy, it’s saucy, it’s gloriously glossy, it’s the Ketchup vs Tomato sauce episode. Brace yourself for copious condiment chat and a surprise cooking segment that (for once) doesn’t feature jacket potatoes. Be good and we’ll ketchup later.

Happy FriYAY, the old bags are back. Stutters and misspeaks galore this week and Hannah has clippy eyes. Missy gets sweaty as she smokes through some fragrant perfume prattle. Head notes, heart notes, base notes, that’s right, we have an accord! Hannah rolls on into some piping hot chat, getting loud and windy as she drones on about the legendary bagpipe. Whether you're striding highland hilltops or AC/DC -  bagpipes get the job done. Remember, perfume ya pits and get this in your flapjack.

This episode we take it to the limit and then surpass it. Incompetence, idiocy, arguments, babbling, muttering, rectangles vs oblongs, patent vs patent - there’s something for everybody!  Hannah didn’t stop her tracker till she was sitting on the toilet. She also spins a mean yarn and whirls off some fast facts about everyone’s fave ‘handhold’ toy - fidget spinners. Missy has a rootin’, tootin, nootin good time as she honks on about our best mate and anthropomorphic emperor penguin Pingu - it’s elite. Noot this in your ear holes and listen for however long you want.

Dive head first into this week’s episode (but please don’t fang it headfirst down a slip n slide). Happy to be back and giving it all that, Hannah won’t let her crockery joke end and doubles down on her dumb little explosion hand following a fist bump. Enigmatic as ever, Missy has a yarn about the best known, most visited, the most written about, and most parodied work of art in the work; the Mona Lisa. Hannah then slips into something more comfortable as she slides into some kōrero on the classic, chaotic, historic, iconic backyard banger that is the humble slip n slide. Don’t put all your incredibly expensive eggs in one basket, but to pop this badboy in your ear holes.

Happy 100th episode! Your singing sillys and beanbag besties are back with the beans, beans, nothing but beans chat you’ve bean waiting for. All hands on deck as Hannah baffles (heavily) with some sloshy-washy, groovy snoozy, vinyl bladder, waterbed chat. Missy continues her literary tear and drops the wonderful on the most-seen film in cinematic history, The Wizard of Oz. It’s magic and mayhem; Dorothy needs help and cries a lot (but don’t we all?!), but just like this podcast, it’s a film for the ages. Sometimes you have stink face, but this inane babble is sure to put a smile on your dial.

Get under a table, unlock your ears and start your year with something sweet. Puzzle possession, pouring rain, Parkrun PBs, the Black Eyed Peas, this episode has it all. Happy Birthday 2026 and Happy New Year, everybody. Some might say we’re in our golden age of podcasting, and this week, Missy lets it rip (literally) on the golden age of detective fiction. She’s Missy-marpling out and is on the case of the locked-room mystery. Hannah comes in hot - you'd better sit down, strap in, and buckle up for some grape chat, as she tries to convince you that just you, a table, grapes, and the chime of the clock will bring good fortune at the turn of the new year. Whodunit? We done it! Howdunit? You’ll have to listen and find out!

This week, we have created a monster. It's an emotional time for Missy as she works through the fact that Hannah has run more KMs than her in 2025, and Hannah mispronounces several words. Over 300kms later, that’s a wrap on the advent challenge! And the Hooney Mooney’s bang out some stats from a MASSIVE year of running. Name bigger red flags than a sea-faring vessel called ‘Cyclops’ and a pilot described as a ‘disoriented flight instructor’, we’ll wait. Hannah sets sail on some sensational storytelling as she gets to the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle. Missy is three sheets to the wind as she gets down with one of the greatest Gothic novels of all time. That’s right, this Frankenstein yap. Stay safe, be kind, and we’ll see you next year!
