With John, John, John and John Now - non-John and his Sandy Balls

An opening nichetacular niche with a little parkrun history brought to you by Danny and joined by Bev and Nigel once again whilst Nicola is away. There's the best bit of community at Hagley parkrun in Christchurch NZ, Bev ambassadors for 5k Your Way at Kingston parkrun plus Danny and Nigel pop to Storeys Field reborn at Brook Leys parkrun in Cambridge.

There's marshal marshmallows, Danny goes honey nuts, a very niche once in a parkrun lifetime opportunity, we say hello to a new listener, a tactical Christmas wish, Nicola went west side to Moss Side at Alexandra parkrun in Manchester and Danny did 10-years straight at Riddlesdown parkrun in Croydon.

No fireworks, just good ol' parkrun chat. Should every 50-milestones be a Thing? Have you seen Match of the Day? Are you a hugger or a handshaker? Plus both Nicola and Danny are too tired to tour far far away (Nic Nic at Lister Park parkrun parkrun and Danny at Queen Elizabeth parkrun parkrun). Sacreligious, we know.

Guten Tag! It's a German Unity Day special once again, where Danny went to the awesome Allerpark parkrun in Wolfsburg and the georgous Georgengarten parkrun in Hannover. There's naughty candidates, a permanent parkrun CEO announcement, Storm Amy impacts and much more in this week's episode. Not forgetting Nicola did a non-Thing at Lister Park, Bradford for her 750th parkrun.

Early birds Nicola and Danny mostly stick to parkrun, with AI, wildlife attacks, Elvis festivals at Porthcawl parkrun, memory lane trips and parkrun Australia's main sponsor Medibank's number one tourist suggestion as just some of the topics. There's also some last minute 5k app and API access updates.

Nicola and Danny give some feminine cl-apps about the 5k app becoming parkrun official. Danny takes Jem up the Arsenal, there's a new **** blanket (aka dry robe), an intense mintense suspense story, and they both stayed local 'cause life.

Danny is back with Bev, Dolly and Nigel once more. There's geneology, accidental absences, first-timer introductions, the parkrun primary initiative, socks, Things, reluctant cancellations and Danny popped down toward the New Forest for Fordingbridge Recreation Ground parkrun and forgot the bridge.

Dolly or Bev? It's Bev! In fact both are standing in for Nic Nic this week. There's also an additional live audience of one. Danny expands on his thoughts about the media's superlative hooks and the precedent setting. We say farewell to Co-op, talk Joe Wicks at Town Moor parkrun, chat about the junior parkrun survey 2025, say hi to the new Storeys Field parkrun and recap the perfect day at Durlston Country Park parkrun.

We're back and ready to chat! Nicola and Danny reflect on what's happened in parkrunworld during their summer break. There's unexpected first finisher tokens, a loving tribute, general thoughts and oversight. There's Patrons' Things, and the pair let you know what they got up to in their absence.

It's been seven years of your favourite parkrun podcast! There was a frog chorus up at Vogrie parkrun, Conwy parkrun returns to a little controversy, there's photography woes, the sugar people didn't come out to play, Nicola did a THING with her 250th different event at Trentham Gardens parkrun in Stoke-on-Trent and Danny Jones wound the clock back 60-years at Aberdare parkrun in south Wales.
