Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I listened when he came to our parkrun and there were clearly a few people on that day who were really huge fans of it and were so thrilled that he had come along but it didn't win me over I'm afraid.

When I was still running regularly, and despite being only an occasional parkrunner, I used to listen regularly and always enjoyed the show and some of the little in-jokes. I thought Danny was always leaning towards "The Cult of parkrun" which was occasionally annoying but he clearly cares about it deeply. Nicola always seemed to be a bit of a steadying influence on him.

I've drifted away from it as i'm not really much of a runner these days rather than because I didn't like it. It just stopped being relevant to me.

Used to listen regularly, and to the previous version, but drifted. Once bumped in to Nicola round the back of Crummock Water on an early morning run, stopped to have a chat, she'd been camping and was out for a run before packing up. Didn't realise who she was until listening to the following podcast!

I did listen to the podcast for a while, but like many others drifted away over lockdown, and now don't think to listen to it unless there is an important topical issue.

I've met Danny a couple of times in real life, where he comes across much better than on the podcast. I once had a chat with Nicola after a parkrun without realising who she was.

I must be an outlier, I really enjoy it! I don’t always agree, but they make some interesting points and a good counter point to the official HQ communications.

I listen although I sometime question why I still do. I'm not interested in the parkrun challenges but do like the parkrun reviews.

How good is this podcast? I just wanted to start a thread of appreciation :-) although you may disagree. I find Danny to be spot on 99% of the time and Nicola is entertaining and between them they have balance. I find it an enjoyable listen most of the time and informative. What do others think? If you parkrun and don’t know this podcast I encourage you to give it a go…

All that said I cant listen to it in the car too often as my wife protests…and she is a parkrunner so my feelings wont...
