With Me Now's podcast

A bunch of cults, sparkling pro bonos, chicken bellies and eldest pod listeners are just some of the subjects this week. Walsall Arboretum parkrun pay a lovely homage to Bev's 'volunteer nemesis' Mick Elwell, parkrun hits a million events, Joe Wicks is coming, someone does 'a Nicola', Nicola eats watered down soup and Danny gets wet and holey at Green Park parkrun in Reading.

It's a big one. Fnar. There's ashes, Explorers and geese. Nicola went to Blyth Links parkrun in Northumberland and enjoyed their beautiful beach whilst Danny was at a landmark Thing down in Morden parkrun, SW London, having a lengthy chat with Darren Wood post-1000th.

Danny and Nicola amongst other things pond-er German invites, parkurns, the new milestones (this especially), and Danny profiles two Netherlands events on Whit Monday weekend: Kralingse Bos parkrun in Rotterdam and Delftse Hout parkrun in Delft.

Nicola and Danny talk about Danny's lost record, bug splat surveys, 6-minute air rides, guarantee a Dolly mention, rat marshals, thank 'aql' for their text service, talk a little on that forthcoming 1000th parkrun, Nicola gets shouted at and Danny steals a child after celebrating a 500th milestone at Crystal Palace parkrun. NLF.

Unbeweevable! Sir David is 100, the Navigator Trend, St Helena travel and A12345678 are just a few of the topics this week. Bev and Nigel twitch at Clair parkrun in Haywards Heath whilst Dan Solo goes Voronoi filling at the lovely St Matthew's Field parkrun in Bridgwater, Somerset.

Friends? Pens! This week there's feathery pasta, the second most remote parkrun in the World, batcodes, Nicola tests out variable marshal gratitudes and then cuts it tight for her long run at Myrtle parkrun in Bingley, whilst Danny 'turns around' and gets Huggy at Beccles Quay parkrun in Suffolk. Woop woop!

Bev, Nigel and Danny bring you all the usual parkrun-related shenanigans once more. There's beautiful parkruns, pod catch-ups, legal news, a blend of London Marathon things, Bev and Nigel are at the Back Of The Pack and Danny thinks 'West Wow' at West Stow Country parkrun in Suffolk.

Want to listen? Just do it as naughty Nike's controversy gets airtime. Whangarei parkrun says a beautiful goodbye to Colin Thorne, the eldest parkrunner in the World. Josh Wishicombe does his first parkrun. Nicola ups her p-Index to 14 at Pontefract and Danny points the way to Holme Pierrepont parkrun in Nottingham.

It's a long one! Or at least that's what Danny tells himself. We have Monopoly lies and delays, dangerous throws, scars, record birds, new parkrun Global Trustees, belated birthdays, returning Facebook pages, Heart Radio campaigns, double parkrun influencers, Lidl carbon boingings, The Two Cheryls, Sydney Harbour ferries, record Easter figures and Christmas icebergs, hidden Harrogate children, a Fab Gentle 50th, plus Danny brings two windy coastal profiles, from Newborough Forest parkrun in Anglesey and Walton Promenade parkrun in Essex.

This is not an April Fool. It's got junior parkrun outreach feedback, wrestling reference appreciation, London Marathon's double day impacts, questions of stats, Nicola micro-profiles Fell Foot parkrun in the Lake District and Danny pets the goodest boy Jeff at Vermuyden Way parkrun in North Lincolnshire.

Danny is joined direct from Cape Town, South Africa by Bev and Nigel for this week's episode! There's news about parkrun Austria cancelling their Extra Day, parkrun Monopoly passes go (but not a proof read), the WWF encourages us all to wear it wild and turn it off, plus there's how you can warmdown through three countries. We hear about Bev and Nigel's extraordinary trip to Zandvlei parkrun and Danny welcomes in a new member of the 500 Club at Downs Link parkrun, Shoreham-by-Sea.

Trains. A milking of puns. Record juniors and Norway's sporting culture. parkrun UK have gone to Specsavers. Nicola takes Poppy to Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School parkrun (aka QEGS) in Lincolnshire to finish her alphabet and Danny crops up at Frank's Farm parkrun in Cambridgeshire.

More dinosaur pronunciation. Ornithology. Dolly on tour. Akrotiri parkrun understandably pauses. Nicola visits the saplings at York Community Woodland parkrun and Danny succesfully gets to Kilkenny Lane Country parkrun in Oxfordshire.

Dinosaurs! Bushy juniors goes fortnightly! Comms opinions! Twits! Nicola regales us with her great adventure to parkrun Malaysia at Presint 18 parkrun, Putrajaya and Danny twits about in Watford at Holywell King George V Playing Fields parkrun.

Cat context, Tesla's genius, forgotten beaches, witty puns, bot-acular weekend struggles, results page changes, the 5k app gets a shiny and official makeover, Austria gets an extra day, Bev and Nigel party in tunnels overseas and Danny facilitates a discount parkrun visit whilst he pops back to Walmer and Deal Seafront parkrun after eight years.

It's full of love this week! All the Valentine's things! There's ogols, ninjas, M25 facts, A12000000, pop-up puns, a record attendance, Bev and Nigel didn't parkrun, and Danny had an enchanting time at the beautiful Highcliffe Beach parkrun in Dorset.

Join us! Cult members Danny and Nic Nic talk viral vids, AI impacts, paused events, chip butties, Danny rages about turtles and they're both very excited for future travels.

Danny and Nic Nic walk us through another week in parkrunworld. There's The King at Sandringham parkrun, they fondly remember Hannah Corne, Nic Nic keeps pace at Bramley and Danny captures a moment from Kingston parkrun.

Back once again with the Chessy Trio: Danny, Bev and Nigel. This week it's all about damp squids again, the RDF* again, emails about kindness, mapped pizza runs, tarts, records, smoothly run events and a super profile of the latest Essex event: ARU Writtle parkrun near Chelmsford.

Nic Nic's back with Danny for the first time in a while. They chat virtual assistants, the 'Real Double Funnel', have a smidge of Things, make a point about Holme Pierrepont parkrun, Nic Nic recaps her break and gives a 'prasen' to Market Rasen Racecourse parkrun whilst Danny profiles London's latest event, Greenwich Peninsula parkrun.

We're back and kicking off 2026, in mid-January. Bev, Nigel and Danny bring us chat, emails, stories, news (both good and sensationalist), Things and recaps from parkrunworld during the Christmas break.

It's a little different this one! Danny, Surrogate Mum Bev and Chessington Unity friend Leanne pop to Poland to participate at Kraków parkrun on Boxing Day and Puszcza Niepołomicka parkrun the day after. There's also the small matter of being part of a big attendance at the Christmas Day event at Bushy parkrun.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all! Christmas jokes, shield toads, nearly 102-year old Colin Thorne did a Thing, the 5k app starts its updates, now it's DrPSHCBEFRSA, we recap our year, Nicola went to see the Bramley Family and Danny was enamoured by Whitecliffe Lake parkrun in Kent.

It's Danny with Bev and Nigel again (and some cats). It's a simple one this week, with Met Office chat, the equalising of volunteering, the 'officialdom' of challenges, good news from Osterley parkrun, Nigel added one more to his Lon-Done list, whilst Danny and Bev just stayed close to home.

Yawn. And big stretch. You butter believe there's more discussion about the 5k app being official, theories about volunteering changes and a small chat about 'that' inaugural. Plus Nicola went to Woodlands parkrun, Scarborough and Danny went to Downs Link parkrun, Shoreham-by-Sea.

'Ello! Happy Thanksgiving! It's a quickie this week. Nic Nic visited East Holmes Field parkrun in Ilkley, West York-shire and Danny diverts to Plan B at Oxford parkrun.

Exorbitant orbs! Danny puts the Chess in Chessington. York becomes one parkrun fewer. 'That' Facebook group is mothballed. Dame Kelly's grading. Nicola does a spot of heavy breathing and Danny goes back to his very origins alongside his marshalling parents at Stanborough parkrun Lakes in Welwyn Garden City.

How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? This week's episode is popping off! There's a Yesvember dichotomy, San Francisco says welcome back to parkrun, there's maybe flies on wood and seals in waterfalls, concerns on changes to parkrun culture, and Danny learns all about Newbury with his visit to Victoria Park parkrun.

It's stacked and packed this week! It's Yesvember. We prove a husband wrong. We learn about Allerheiligen. There's Celebrity Traitors and The Great British Bake Off. There's the new Parkrace app. There's Baby Wonky Bears. Tiny Steve makes tiny history. Nicola wore Hallowe'en fancy dress. And 'King' Danny had a Coronation Park parkrun-filled morning.

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.

A musical number this week. Sporific speech. Parental milestones. Strange behaviours. 10 Year Health Plans. Things. Nicola celebrated in 250 green at Chevin Forest parkrun north of Leeds and Danny finally made it to Sheringham parkrun in north Norfolk and had a smashing time.

It's a quickie. Cat floof, Two Tunnels, beewolf wasps, little hugs, Bushy's Octogenarian meetup, McFly, HPTT logo memories, Nicola coaches Poppy at Armley parkrun and Danny wants to protect Kingston parkrun.

Small measures, Enyas, parkrun concludes the parkrunner Support Ambassador role, Pinetums, Nic Nic edges closer to her Thing by running the paths at Rushcliffe parkrun in Nottingham and Danny records chaotic good at the new Brickfields Park parkrun in Bath.

Stoic Bev, Bridge experiences, 'the gift of parkrun', our condolences to Frimley Lodge parkrun, the CEO job, hot comments, Nicola had sun and sea at Withernsea Promenade parkrun on the north-east coast and Danny fulfilled a profile promise a few months later than intended at Morden parkrun in south-west London.

Impersonation, cat emojis, Hampster Dances, Newport parkrun's Chris Davies becomes an MBE, Things that change to Not Things, the 7th annual 'Matthew Storey Convention', Trentham Gardens parkrun gets big, big bridge race FOMO, Nicola forgets how cancellations work and pops to Roberts Park parkrun north of Bradford, whilst Danny was at the hive of activity that is Hove Promenade parkrun in Brighton & Hove.

Gotcha Days, voelunteer sashes, horrific arbitrary milestone shirts plus the wrestling pandas of WWF UK partner with parkrun UK. Nicola keeps up her tourism by visiting Wynyard Woodland parkrun and spots Regal Lenny, whilst Danny was over in The Netherlands in rainy Swamsterdam at Amsterdamse Bos parkrun and then was Whit Me Now over at Beatrixpark parkrun in Almere.

Bridging gaps. Lumps in throats. It's Volunteers Week in the UK. parkrun hits 11-million registrations. A new participant makes parkrun a 'habit'. Nicola overcame FOMO by going to Riverside parkrun in County Durham and then Newark parkrun. Plus a big Thing for Danny as he went to Stockholm, visiting Judarskogen parkrun and then his 500th different event at Haga parkrun. (And a nice mention for Meon Valley Trail parkrun, Wickham just before that).

Magical birdsong apps, more pontificating, Danny's memory has got rusty, parkrun take shoelaces up a notch, Nicola shows concern for all our funnels backing up and Danny did a bit of history deepdiving after If I Fitzmaurice Park parkrun, I Sitz Park parkrun.

Etymologies upon etymologies, other fave pods, arbitrary shouts, Nicola celebrates Poppy's non-arbitrary and very much a Thing 250th parkrun at Potternewton parkrun in Leeds and Danny loves all the birds at the hidden gem of Ludlow parkrun, so well hidden it's not in Ludlow.

Kon'nichiwa! It's an A** rated pod this week! Nicola's back from Japan and recounts her trip, with a focus on checking rear ends and the Greenery Day extra at Futakotamagawa parkrun in Tokyo. Meanwhile, Danny enjoyed the delights of Ben's Yard parkrun, Ely in Cambridgeshire with friends and family. There's new CEO chat and much much more packed in.

Sabrina will be happy as the Boys, Boys, Boys return. Production values, parkrace.net, fainting timekeepers, Strava buys Runna, Poképuns and Things, plus Stewart and Danny pop to Penallta parkrun near Caerphilly and learn about pit ponies.
