Junior Adventurers roving reports
A run of listener-submitted roving reports: Donella Taylor from the inaugural Lismore parkrun (interviewing first-timer Noreen Finucane, event director and twin sister Belinda Smith, Mayor of Lismore Jenny Dowell, and second-placed visiting runner Martin Gillies), a sign-off from Gerry at Lismore, Gary Clark from Lilydale Lake parkrun in Victoria, and Darren Walters from Hervey Bay parkrun (interviewing volunteers Graham Granao, John Street and Kylie Brazzavallo). Scott and Mel wrap it up at 00:52:07: "that was a nice collection of roving reports we got this week."
Social media scan (unnamed)
Scott and Mel run through listener posts from Instagram and Facebook: bunny_79's road-trip dashboard photo, Oz Twin Mama's first interstate parkrun, Positivism One's PB ice cream and the first #junioradventurers pic (April dressed as Elsa at Tuggeranong), Nod Lightyear at Altona Beach, Finding My Balance's trail PB, Chris Fraser on episode 13's penguin interview, Donella's Halloween pic, and Melissa Ellis and Tok at the Traralgon first anniversary.
Launches and anniversaries ("where are we going for cake this week?")
Weekly rundown of new parkrun launches and event anniversaries. No Australian launches this week; two anniversaries flagged — Fingal Bay (third) and Warragul (first). Framed by Scott's recurring line "So where are we going for cake this week, Mel?"
