Thoughts on a Run

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!

Hey, puds, want to hear a trifle and a brandy snap argue about whether you can peel off a sticker using a coin? We thought not, but either way, this is the podcast for you! Don’t waste your candles on vibes, but do giddy up jingle bulbs and twinkle all the way as Missy gives some incandescent chat on fairy lights. Hannah lowers the tone with some tip tap toilet water waffle - specifically, she settles the debate around whether it’s gross to fill your drink bottle up using the bathroom tap. Feat. an unnecessarily long and detailed lecture on how to put fairy lights on a Christmas tree (vertical lines NOT horizontal wraps!). Run, don’t jog, and get these potable jollies in your ear holes.

That’s a wrap on Thoughts on a Run! Just kidding, akin to a Hills Hoist clothesline, this podcast will survive the apocalypse. Following some running advent challenge chat, lollygagging and lollies in the shower, speculation on the worst-kept secret of Missy’s real name, and a cameo from our slammy kitchen door, Hannah gives the stats on Spotify wrapped. Does anyone play the pod to their pets or plants? And, remember, Spotify doesn’t count scones. It’s hoists ahoy as Missy gives a full rotation to Australian icon of suburbia, the humble Hills Hoist (more than meets the eye). A simple backyard staple or status symbols?? #tistheseason #grimefivetimes

As a grown-up, you don’t get many lucky dip opportunities, except for this podcast - it’s a risk every time. The Hooney Mooney’s have hedged their bets and are running every day of Advent, and by golly, is it an event (absolute scenes!). If you make it out of the labyrinth that is our opening chat, come hither and thither to somewhere that’s green. Reward gratification validation of notifications and subshrub, undershrub, and shrublets are on the menu this week in Missy’s tip top topiary chat - Like a sculpture but made of tree. Hannah, delves into the depths of nutrient poor bogs and gives the snippy snap on the Venus fly trap - hinged lined lobes and all. It’s a rambling, brambling aMAZEing episode, knot to be missed!

This week, “yeah, it was a kerfuffle.” Hannah is not a professional, and Missy can’t say the word ‘visualisation’. Learn about Hannah and Missy’s next running challenge (hint - it’s festive)

Then it’s a jingling, jangling, towering good time as Hannh topples some jolly Jenga chat. Missy’s thought has nothing to do with butterflies or colours. Instead, picture an apple in your head…. That’s right, folks, this is the aphantasia episode! No mental images and/or inner voice, no worries. Even if you can’t see this podcast in your mind, you know it’s bangin’. And remember, for the love of all that is good in this world, keep your poles to the left.

This is not a drill! The beacons are lit, and the Mooneys are coming to your aid! The gals have a good ole chinwag post Round The Bridges feat., cow bells, PBs, a cheeky code yellow, and a Bunnings sausage. Following a round of running-event bingo, Missy emits some towering chat on everyone's best stripey pole, the lighthouse. Hannah gets her bits out with some steamy, foaming, fizzing, bubbling babble and explosive chatter on “the bombdiggity of bath time” that is the bath bomb. Full foghorn, get this in ye earholes and sea what you think.
