Fun, informative and the place to go for all things parkrun
A weekly hour (plus) of all things parkrun. The banter between Danny and Nicola is very entertaining! You get all the latest news about parkrun. They love parkrun, but they are independent so will praise and criticise. Keep up the great work!

Superb parkrun content
It’s never light and tight… but it’s always interesting and informative. Essential listening if you enjoy parkrun. Sometimes I’ve taken a break when the politics of parkrun have been a bit too much and I know it must be hard for Danny and Nic to keep it going at those times, but it’s great that they tackle those tricky topics and don’t shy away from being a critical friend. A fantastic podcast.
