Danny's joined by special Aussie guest TOC from the parkrun adventurers whilst Nicola is away. The Beeb are at it again, we hear about the 'Blast Off Challenge', there's a junior parkrun record, we send Brighton & Hove parkrun our condolences, TOC popped to Newborough parkrun in the state of Victoria, Danny had all the best laid plans at Oaklands College parkrun in St Albans and we get our Nic Nic fix from Skinadin parkrun on the Isle of Skye.

Caricatures, po-tar-to, parkrun Global's Head of Event Delivery James Kemp is retiring, a Welshman wins parkrace in Rome, Saturday Night Beavers, Nicola baptised trouts and scaled Clippomanjaro at Vicar Water Country Park parkrun in Nottinghamshire whilst Danny went to Norfolk and North Walsham parkrun's 3rd birthday.

Nicola blocks, Danny eats lots of protein, there's dates data, lingo, p-Index investment and Danny is now Car-did after visiting Grangemoor parkrun in Cardiff.

The last of the inaugural chat (for now), there's a Stats update, King Charles III pops in for a parkfaff, Colin Thorne is the oldest parkrunner at 101, there's adoptions, Nicola sailed over to Sale Water parkrun in Greater Manchester plus Danny would and did Lingwood parkrun near Norwich.

Coincidences, entitlement, legal chemicals, records broken, Nicola mooooved around Doddington Hall parkrun in Lincoln, whilst Danny once again became Lon-Done at Ingrebourne Hill parkrun.

With great breaks comes great catch up. Conglomerate ethics, alphabet protection, farewell to Chrissie Wellington, inaugurals cancelled, Slough handclaps, Christmas visits (featuring Melton Mowbray, Great Yarmouth, Lincoln, Sloughbottom and Blickling), super niches, dicey icey tourism and Patrons' things.

Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year! It's the last pod of the year with chocolate choices, some Top 3 parkrun Moments of 2024, Facebook issues, St Nic Nic popped to Pontefract parkrun and Danta Claus took to the trails at Trelai Park parkrun in Cardiff.

The impacts of Storm Darragh, the subjectivity of humour, a heap of arbitrary and thing comments, Nicola popped to a muddy Armley parkrun and Danny bumped into a familiar face at the super friendly Brundall parkrun near Norwich.
