Nellers 31 Jan 8:51pm, 31 Jan 2024 42,086 posts	0 Nellers 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.
Snoot 31 Jan 10:48pm, 31 Jan 2024 7,124 posts	0 Snoot 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!
Kanajlo 1 Feb 5:37pm, 1 Feb 2024 326 posts	0 Kanajlo 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.

westmoors 2 Feb 7:30am, 2 Feb 2024 8,204 posts	0 westmoors 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...
