Interviewed as a guest

Episode 419
podcast roving reporter and parkrun regional ambassador for the Free State, South Africa; interviewed as one of the two international palm25 attendees
How Johan came to parkrun after a neurosurgeon banned him from long distance; losing his first home event, Naval Hill in Bloemfontein, to a landowner dispute; his ambassador roles across the Free State, Northern Cape and North West; road-tripping with his three-legged dog Levi; favourite events (Mura di Lucca in Italy, Big Bay, Melkbosstrand, the game-reserve parkruns) and how far his NENDY now is in hours.
Episode 330
Roving reporter, Channel 5 News Crew (South Africa)
Photography tips ("just take your phone and point it in the general direction"), highlights of his Australian trip - how parkrun is "totally different, but also exactly the same", how fast everyone is compared with South Africa, Coober Pedy, and being surprised by the UWA campus - and the idea of a palm in South Africa.
Episode 274
Run Director, Heidedal parkrun, Bloemfontein, South Africa
How a back operation and his doctor's advice led him to parkrun in January 2015 at Naval Hill; moving to the smaller, more intimate Heidedal parkrun in the township, its multi-loop course around the cricket, rugby, soccer and netball fields at Clive Solomons Stadium, its rough trail-like surface and its 20-80 weekly field; the pop-up cafe they ran pre-COVID; the difference between South Africa's huge events and its rural ones; his beta-testing work on the Running Achievements app and its World parkrun Tourist Group section; being a born Namibian who has done all four Namibian events; and the pronunciation challenge he has been setting the hosts.
