International crossover interview (unnamed slot)
Scott crosses to Poland Country Manager Jakub Fedorowicz for an interview on parkrun Poland: five years old, ~30 events, 35,000+ registrations growing by 1,000/month, 9am Saturday starts, buggies and dogs welcome, and the Cieszyn event that crosses the Polish-Czech border mid-course. Framed by Scott as 'we thought it was time to go international AGAIN on the pod', which is the only evidence that this is a recurring slot rather than a one-off booking.
Social adventuring roundup
Scott runs through listener/parkrunner social media posts of the week (Instagram): Dave D'Alessio at Sandon Point, 'Finding My Balance' at Sierra May parkrun with a very large wallaby, plus two posts from the Studley launch (Ruinedish, and HeyTJ's park dog Pip on the wobbly bridge). Cued as a fixed bit: 'Time for some social adventuring, Mel. Are you ready?' / 'Let's do the roundup.'
Roving Adventurer report (TOC at Churchill parkrun launch)
Gary Clarke, Event Director of Tuggeranong parkrun, files a self-contained field report from Tuggeranong's superhero-themed 3rd anniversary, interviewing points winners David Clark and Lauren Stone, Rod Turner (back after 2014 heart surgery), pram-pusher Emily Fisher, photographer Tim, and founders Gareth and Kelly Candy. Scott closes it with 'Now that is how you contribute a roving adventurer's report' — an explicit call for more listener contributions.
