Nordic special days and a swather of launches had Mel’s tongue in a twist but not before she surprised Peppertree parkrun with a visit. TOC, meanwhile, returned to what he loves best, supporting Nagambie Lake in country Victoria. Lyndell was interviewing Mandalorians at Cleveland parkrun, and Calum sang us a Mersey tune from Burnage. We also have all the usuals with an extra helping of Rachel.

Tatooine in and hear Mel and Simon recap Bells Parade and Kedron, as well as the galaxy of launches and roving reports from across the universe (Victoria juniors in Glasgow, Walvis Bay in Namibia and Warwick in Qld). Then Rachel brings us some clubs from around the cantina. It’s a longer one this time, for an adventure far, far away.



 




 








 

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…

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!

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…

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!
