Thoughts on a Run

It’s all hands on deck in taper town because Hannah gets a fright and Missy gets a cramp (twice). This week doesn’t suck but Hannah does say “wet cupping” far too many times (and it gives us the ick) as she gets into the long, the short, and the circle back of cupping therapy. Stick around while Missy takes the second star to the right and straight on till morning with some flight-full, fantastical, and fairydust fuelled chat all about the boy that won’t grow up. Tick tock beware the crocodile clock, you’ll be swallowed hook line and sinker because this is the Peter Pan episode! Think fast, steady, and happy thoughts for us (but not with the good cups) and get this in ya earholes.

Missy went pretty hundys, Hannah was much more sensible, but we’ll have quiche and everything will be fine. Wiggling, winding, squiggling, and squirming, Missy explores the super common yet infuriating experience of earworms. It’s a journey full of bangers! Hannah wraps, weaves, and slings some saucy, sumptuous, and tasselled talk on the long rapturous history of scarves. Fashion meets function, once, twice, thrice.Power walk, head down, swing those arms and get this in your ear holes - we’re fizzing to be your favourite earworms ;)

We’re not gigglers, but this week may get you hissing and hawing. Missy is calendar correct and Hannah has an eclipse of moths in her tum. After what seems like 100s and 1000s of incorrect guesses, Hannah serves up some tasty chit chat on the classic Kiwi Xmas gift that is the Griffins Sampler Biscuit Box. Fun fact, not all biscuits can live together (looking at you pongy peppermint). Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a Charazard. That’s right folks, this is the Pokémon Go episode. Missy does not ‘catch em all’ but she does hatch some ballin’ Pokémon kōrero. Remember, repetition always makes the joke funnier (jk, it frequently doesn’t).

Missy makes a big hoohah celebrating her 50th parkrun. You can run it, you can walk it, you can jog it. No one cares how fast you go and you’ll never be last! This week you get the origin story and evolution of UK Time Trials into the Parkrun events we know and love today. Hannah refuses to use her twin magic and is at the end of her rope, jump rope that is as she gives the double on skipping. As humans we like routine, and we like belonging. So, be like Jorothan, stop playing with the mat, join the TOAR community and whip this in your ear holes.

This week, it’s silly sausage energy and giggles out the gate, but “we’re not here for assumptions, we’re here for cold hard facts.” Twinning and winning as Hannah and Missy both guess one another's thoughts! (what are the odds?!?!, pretty high tbh). Hannah does a sheet job addressing the top-sheet or not-to-top-sheet debate, it’s tip top. Missy raises the bar as she sprints, bends, twists and lands some soaring pole vault chat. Change your sheets and plant, jam, and convert our energy in your ear holes.

Off to a singing start this week with a simple yet important PSA out the gate - if you run, you’re a runner, no other criteria required! When is a podcast not a podcast? When it’s a talking book. Missy narrates the long and the short of the Audiobook, it’s a real page turner. In chapter 2 of this episode, Hannah regales us with some flapping, fun, flag-tastic facts (when she’s not tooting all over town). National flags are part of the essential fabric of the Commonwealth Games and this pod raises some solid chat. Hoist it in ya ear holes, athlits.

Hannah thinks she’s all good and Missy has doubts. It hasn’t all gone to custard, but we do get in a pickle and make a racket about racquet sports. Hannah smashes, serves, and fizzes through some chat about one of the world’s fastest growing sports; the glorious game of Pickleball! Missy reaches new heights (approx 10,000m of elevation) and traverses 3 countries as she tackles the mythic ultramarathon trail race that is the flagship UTMB. She’ll be coming ‘round the mountain when she comes - yeehaw!Grab a banana and prepare to hear the word ‘pickle’ too many times.

This week, we’re good as gold and the yaps go this way, that way, forwards and backwards over the briny sea. Missy sails through some shipwreck history as she gives the goss on the sinking of The General Grant in 1866, served with a side of lost gold. Hannah bags some insulating chat as she snuggles down and zips through the origin of the sleeping bag. Don’t be a disappointing island…Hannah makes the time to do something embarrassing, so you can make the time to sink, stuff, and roll this neatly in your ear holes.

Your dusty, creaky, old knackered knickered besties are back. Hannah puts the babe in chillblains with some crisp convo on the cause and possible prevention methods. It’s time to chill out (literally) on the lava showers tīma. There’s nothing basic about Missy’s BASE jumping chat. Prepare to leap from new heights as she tries to explain the ins and outs (and ups and downs) of terminal velocity. Whether you’re curly fry or are a crinkle cut, get your tum towards the earth and whack this in ya ear holes!

Your fave twits are back with the usual ridiculous yaps. Chill-tastic is not good, and we don’t care about your star sign. Missy Dahl’s in some scrumdiddlyumptious chat about the lofty, literary legend, and BFG of storytelling, Roald Dahl. Hannah slides into the DMs and shimmies up some scintillating flibber flabber about the iconic Firefighters’ pole. Name a more fun means of emergency transport - we’ll wait. Missy’s got her snazzy, zazzy pants on so slide this in your ear holes and hold on to the pole.

Running is going as per and there’s a lot of singing out the gate. Hannah is short and sweet with some delectable discussion of perhaps the only thing more enchanting than Disneyland. It’s time for the tip-top street eat, sweet treat known as Dole Whip! Missy turns her mind to a ‘Roman Empire’ thought for many, and it’s a very cool one. Things get strange, wild, and trippy as we try and decipher the mystery of the Voynich Manuscript. Unfortunately, even the Rosetta Stone can’t help us. PSA: please stop identifying yourself by whether or not you like pineapple on pizza - no one cares.

Is there anything more joyous than a good run? Sure is - it’s this podcast. Missy money is coming in hot with a big swing all about the cha-ching as she deposits come currency convo and banks a solid thought. Hannah’s chat is on point as she lays out something that matters to her. No (accu)pressure, but go on, throw up some shakas for the Shakti mat. Eat crumpets and read Margaret Atwood, it’s all part of the sauce. Also, sorry Robyn,

New Marathon PB, who dis? Tears were shed, high fives were had, and burps were yelled. Get the full debrief on the Kirikiriroa Marathon 2026. Hannah cracks open some crisp chat on the aid station hero that is the 35km Coca-Cola. It’s an absolute game changer! Missy keeps it classy with some flush, lush, lavatory locution. Sit down but saddle up, because this is the toilet episode. Just like an airplane toilet it sucks!

Mahalo Hawaii, thanks so much for having us! Hannah doesn’t want to run on sand but she sure does want to run the imminent Kirikiriroa Marathon! Missy keeps her undies on while she posters, plasters, and presents some towering billboard chat. Hannah takes off full tilt on the treadmill with some touchdown talk. That’s right, it’s time for American football “hut!” Yeehaw, let's do it.Warning: Missy absolutely let’s it rip with a class A scream-sneeze (dare you to reply it - it’s truly monstrous).

Hi from Hawaii! This episode may not be tropical, but certainly is topical ;) Hannah spins some plas-tastic chat on the body’s liquid gold as she donates some fast and fun blood plasma facts to the pod. Flowing on from last week’s thought, you can count on Missy to spill the secrets and the seemingly magical memory skills needed to card count in Blackjack. Please go and donate some plasma or blood if you’re able. Failing that, donate some time to bangin’ our podcast in ya ear holes.

THE HUNTLY HALF MARATHON CURSE HAS BEEN BROKEN!!! Some incredible twin magic on this week’s ep. Hannah looks really solid and hits a Huntly PB (yeeeehaaaaw), Missy absolutely hoofs a post-run pie, and Teacup (the neighbours cat) is on the fence. Missy doesn’t do a toot but does let it rip as she (tries) to encode some memorable discussion of memory, ft., some metaphors (because they can be helpful). Hannah rolls through some quick, steely yet creamy, oat-fuelled chat. Shout out to the pace runners and all the weekend half-mara heroes, spurtle this in ya ear holes.

It’s not written in the stars, but breaking the Huntly Half-Marathon curse is certainly on the cards! Hannah is a recycling champion (twice) and Missy overexplains how we manage our yellow bin. Han (symbolically) crosses a line, breaks the tape, and raises high some victorious finishing ribbon chat - get excited. Missy keeps it local as she brews some fizzy facts on the NZ icon that is L&P. Is spectated a word? Regardless, this episode is something worthy of being gazed upon.

Mere weeks out from the Kirikiriroa Marathon, the running is going down as we head into taper town. History was made at the 2026 TCS London Marathon and Thoughts on a Run wants a slice of that sub-2 barrier breaking pie. Missy’s been witching since way back and winds her way around the Thames, giving the goss on the worlds most popular marathon. Hannah tries to get her bearings and invites you “come with me for some compass chat” - it’s magnitising. Feat a haunting sing song or two, a shameless plug for Pic’s peanut butter, and a shout out to all the Mum’s.

Hannah is swell and quite spiffy as a person, Missy is resplendent, and this podcast is an embarrassment in a podsitive way ;) GOATs are on the menu this week as Hannah gets some epic Black Ferns chat over the line. Women’s rugby isn’t ‘the girls version of the sport’, it is rugby and Han gets really in her feelings about it - as she should!. Missy then does a stand up job on the SAT (yapping about it not taking the test). Ultimately, we could keep waffling on but better we just put this episode to the test - go on, try, tackle and scrum this in your ear holes.

Hannah has her hand up and gives side eye while Missy doesn’t cut it out and stands corrected. This week is swish and is the equivalent of disco ball, because thoughts on a run turns any room into a party. Missy prattles on about processions pounding, prancing, and perambulating the pavement as she marches through some parade chat. Hannah moves and grooves and as praises the magic of the mirror ball. We live in a world where sometimes we need a parade - this podcast will have to do…you know what to do - pop your bangerz on!

This week’s episode starts out gross but fun (you’ve been warned). There’s nothing sadder than a half deflated bouncy castle, but worry not! You’ll be jumping for joy after Hannah’s bouncing babble on the nostalgic joys and dangers of the birthday party GOAT that is the inflatable bouncy house. Buckle up, strap in, lights out, and let’s go racing! After sitting on the toilet for a while, Missy’s revved up and ready to zoom through some pole position Formula One chat (shout out to Netflix series Drive to Survive). Don’t DIY a bouncy castle but DO get excited about rainbows - they’re just cool!

Guess what? We’re super intense. It’s fancy running shocks and shout-outs galore this week because it takes a village to raise a podcast fam. Space travel, it’s not a walk in the park and Missy tells you all about it with some out of this world chat about the the Apollo 11 moon landing. Hannah is a passenger princess and you didn’t ask, but she's fizzing to tell you about the soft and slightly messy cake of nostalgic renown either side of the Tasman. That’s right, it’s time for some desiccated and dedicated lamington yaps. You can’t get nasties from the moon, but you bet these Mooney’s are nasty (winky face). Tune in for the yap and stay for the thoughts (you know the drill).

Hannah does not strive to learn but she sure does strive to chit chat. This week she pushes the zazz with some ink-redible, tatt-tastic, and spicy but manageable tattoo talk. Missy’s thought similarly leaves a lasting impression as she journeys through the amazing efforts of WWII hero and badass Andrée Eugéniede Jongh and the legendary Comet Line. Ordinary people doing extraordinary, brave, generous, and kind things for one another is what makes the world go round! So, celebrate the small wins and collect the good moments. For the past 30 years (Happy Birthday, son) Missy’s brought the truth while Hannah laid down the whimsy, and this episode is no different. So, grab your hot cross bun and slather it in ya ear holes (the podcast, not the festive baked goods).

Hannah has pep in her step and Missy could out-sweat you any day of the week. Following a magical, mystical, fantastic morning run Missy calls back to the origin of Aotearoa’s nation-wide Emergency Services number - that’s right, one-one-one for episode 111. Hannah squeezes out a spiffing good job with some dripping juicy jabber all about juice! (served with a sneaky smoothie on the side). Shout out to Dad, happy 75th birthday to one of the best girl-dads out there. How many PSAs is too many for a single episode? Give this a ding dong in your ear holes to find out.

Ding, ding, ding, Hannah Mooney is giving that PB bell a jolly good ring-a-ling following a blistering effort at the Harcourts Hamilton Half marathon. What a run! A bad tech rehearsal means a good show, and golly do we put on a show for you this week. Following some extensive running event dissection, Hannah lets it rip on the fartlek training method with some tooting good chat. Missy is phenomenal as she casts her mind this way, that way, forwards and backwards in her attempt to get to the bottom of the collective false memory theory known as the Mandela Effect. Feat a side serving of parallel realities *spooky music plays*. It’s a slippy, trippy, dippy good time.PSA(s) - please keep left and fart is a funny word.

It’s balloon season and, on the brink of the Harcourts Hamilton Half Marathon, Missy’s ear causes Hannah discomfort. Don’t worry, we’ve got enough carrots redibly available. Missy buries the lead with some tasty treasure chat, but stikes gold (or tinfoil) with some searching and scintillating metal detector dialogue. Hannah feels like the internet is lying to her but still gives it all that with some Go-GURT chat. Is there anything more tasty that a deep dive into the lore of squeezable yogurt tubes? We’ll wait. Lastly, a moment of silence for all the accidentally binned tea spoons and kiwifruit spoons of our childhoods.

Gasps abound this week as Missy smashes, cracks, and hoons a new Parkrun PB. Cold wash is key, but jeans in the freezer, myth or life hack? Hannah gets down and dirty and cleans up with some thawtful chat about how to clean your jeans (spoiler alert, it’s not in the freezer compartment of your fridge). Missy goes massive with some colossal convo about everyone's favourite terrible lizard, that’s right, this is the dinosaur episode! “Life finds a way” and so does this podcast (it’s a really good hoon on the spoon). Hurry up and wait, get this in your ear holes and hang your washing out, it’s sure to tickle your fancy.

Your best ding dongs are back with the same old silly sing songs. If you make it past an extremely laborious story, Missy absolutely sends it with some roaring good rhetoric and cool convo about arguably the most underrated Olympic sport: curling (yeehaw let’s do it!). Hannah gives it the old jingle jangle and get’s chattering about chatter rings, a Kiwi classic that is not only practically indestructible but also immediately entertaining and peak annoying (just like this podcast). Grab some cinnamon and give this a hoon in the pan.

What’s ridiculous but super earnest at the same time? You guessed it, this podcast! Hannah does a bit of faffing about (which is on brand) and Missy’s a smelly, moody, broody, cover goose. Tall flopping figures, chaotic flailing, and undulating tall boys, that’s right, this is the inflatable arm man episode. Crazy inflatable arm Han flails through her thought (jk Missy is a big fan). Then, love is in the air, when Missy gives the goss on everyone’s fave 3rd century Roman Saint, Valentine. She serves all the spicy, or should I say vinegary, details of his martyrdom while Hannah sings intermittently and concurrently. There’s also a sneaky, cheeky, and very exciting running announcement this week that’s just waiting to slip n slide down your ear holes.

Two years of this! Happy second birthday Thoughts on a Run! We had the best time clip-clopping (running) from Hamilton to Cambridge. This week, Missy gets monumental and a little bit inspiring as she gives it all that on the Boston Marathon - specifically the women who claimed their spot in one of the worlds oldest races.They ran so we could run! Hannah brings up the rear with some scintillating sequel theory chat (it’s part of the point of the podcast). Does she pull it off? Jury’s still out. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or have just started listening, we’re grateful that you’re here, thank you. If there’s one thing we’ve learnt in the past two years it’s don’t slip over, but go on, slip this over your ear holes.

What’s black and white and red all over? A stingray eating a pie (with tomato sauce). What has that got to do with this week’s episode? Very little. Hannah’s astonished that she made it to the end of the balls. More importantly, on the eve of Thoughts on a Run’s 2nd birthday, it’s twins all round and absolute scenes because Hannah and Missy have THE SAME THOUGHT! It’s tangy, it’s saucy, it’s gloriously glossy, it’s the Ketchup vs Tomato sauce episode. Brace yourself for copious condiment chat and a surprise cooking segment that (for once) doesn’t feature jacket potatoes. Be good and we’ll ketchup later.

Happy FriYAY, the old bags are back. Stutters and misspeaks galore this week and Hannah has clippy eyes. Missy gets sweaty as she smokes through some fragrant perfume prattle. Head notes, heart notes, base notes, that’s right, we have an accord! Hannah rolls on into some piping hot chat, getting loud and windy as she drones on about the legendary bagpipe. Whether you're striding highland hilltops or AC/DC -  bagpipes get the job done. Remember, perfume ya pits and get this in your flapjack.

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.

Wanna re-live a sibling spat? Neither, but here we are. This week, Hannah walks the wrong way with confidence, and Missy has a heck of an embarrassment update. What do ham and quicksand have in common? Not much except they’re both slippery. What are Newton’s laws, and how does quicksand actually work? Well, Hannah slips, slides, sinks, stutters, and gets stuck in some (quick)sandy chat. Missy’s flying high as she airs the mysterious disappearance of the queen of the sky, aviation legend, and feminist icon, Amelia Earhart. PSA: giant coconut grabs have entered the chat. Go on, get this in your Earharts.

Firstly, “Can you hear the tap dripping?” It’s a fawking good time this week. In a truly dynamite episode, your best mates go bananas in pyjamas (and wearing the same new running shoes). Baring both their teeth and souls, Missy gets murky in the undercroft of Parliament as she uncovers the infamous gunpowder plot of 1605, i.e. the origin of Guy Fawkes night. You’ll continue to see stars as, tonight, Hannah, gives the goss on the hit 1990s and early 2000s television smash hit that was Stars in their Eyes. Featuring some unexplained echo and technical difficulties (aroha mai for this whānau). It’s a banging, whizzing, fizzing, popping, booming, and explosive time. And, in case you’ve forgotten, Hannah is here for the vibes - not for the research.

It’s a graveyard smash this week as Missy-magic teams up with wolf-Han Houdini for the ultimate Mooney-mash. Expect the usual tangents - birds, shoes, horses, and spontaneous singing - plus Hannah gobbling with the best of them as she sinks her teeth into some biting-good werewolf chat. “Nek minnit, you see the moon and transform into a wolf.” It’s a howling good time. Missy declares the beast inside Hannah is actually a Hen, while Hannah reckons Missy could moonlight as a magician after her unmissable, unbreakable, and inescapable articulation of the man, the mystery, the legend: Harry Houdini.

It’s a swell time, it’s a swole time! This week, we kick off with some tales of embarrassment, confusion, and awkwardness (pretty standard at this point). It’s spooky season, and Missy has a frightfully fearsome and ghastly, ghostly gasbag about haunted attractions - It’s a-maze-ing chat. Hands up if you wanna come to Spookers with us and watch Hannah wet her pants. Then, from Twisty the clown to Twister the hot spot, Hannah spins a good yarn and knots a jolly pretzel about a family favourite physical part game - Twister (also known as ‘sex in a box’ 👀😬). Shout out to Patricia Arquette and remember, go Han!

Is there anything more sinister than a washing line laden with sheets, creepily twisting in the wind? Missy singing an excerpt from The Sound of Music on this podcast for the 80th time, or Hannah saying ‘guesstimate’ just because she knows Missy won’t like it, could be serious contenders. This week kicks off with a detailed Parkrun update that no one asked for. Missy then spends waaaaay too long trying to guess what Hannah’s thought will be, but by golly gosh, is it worth the wait! Following Missy’s truly glowing guess, Hannah brings the salty chat and shines a light on the humble salt lamp. Does it have healing powers? Nah, but it’s got the vibes, so take the win. Future hybrid rockstar Missy Mooney rocks it with some high-octane chat about everyone's favourite fitness fad and global phenomenon, the HYROX. You can count on us to bring the silly-billys and dilly-dallys, but more importantly: ALWAYS count down: 3,2,1, GO.

Hannah’s run route isn’t super efficient, and neither is this podcast… But who cares! You’re not here for efficiency - you’re here for vibes, which are a-plenty this week. Once more, Hannah can’t do maths or maps, but she brings all the razzmatazz. When she’s not editing out a swear word, Missy has a jolly jovi-al jabber about crayons (Hannah’s spirit art utensil). Hannah turns up the heat and blows some hot air around about Airfryers, serving up some crispy chat. This episode just makes scents, so, get down to business and colour this in your ear holes. 

This week, Missy is brave and starts in the front pack of runners at Parkrun. The honourable Hannah Hooney shakes it out, shakes it off, and shakes it up with some shake out run chat. Missy has no objections and lives out her law degree dreams as she takes you on a journey through jury service. Shout out to our lawyery listeners (if we have any) and everyone else who’s hooked and cooked on TOAR, we appreciate you! And, as we enter spooky season, everybody scream for gluten-free lemon loaf and Spooktober jump scares!

The Cambridge Half Marathon was a bit windy – and this episode similarly gets your fave hooney half-mara Mooneys all of a flap. Missy has a mad dash into the mystery of the EM dash – and its over-saturation in AI-generated content. She even drops in some sneaky NATO phonetic alphabet along the way. More importantly – if you were a piece of punctuation, which would you be? Whisking right along, Hannah whips up some chat about the correct topping order for scones – hammering, or should I say Hannahing, home that whipped cream is light and airy. The kōrero is tasty – and just like a pie from the BP after a big run – it’s waiting for you to gobble it up.
