Interviewed as a guest

Episode 337
Roving Reporter and co-host; celebrating her 100th different event (Cowell Club)
Lyndell's Cowell, her 100th different parkrun event, at Fodder Forest; her NENDY (Kingscliff rather than Ballina); her top events apart from home, Milano Nord in Italy during the Monza weekend, plus Kawana, Nambour and Mount Gambier. The 'bottom three' answer is lost to the radio interference that gives the episode its title.
Episode 251
Channel 5 News Crew roving reporter; triathlon technical official, Chief Video Review at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games
Lyndell's experience officiating at the Tokyo Paralympic Games, 17 years officiating triathlon, selection in 2019 through Triathlon Australia and World Triathlon, tickets not confirmed until two weeks before departure, and her role as Chief Video Review monitoring four camera feeds for the paratriathlon head referees. She describes life inside the Tokyo bubble (hotel and venue only, COVID testing on arrival, adventures to the adjacent 7-Eleven, Zoom karaoke), the cultural activities the Japanese national technical officials laid on (origami, writing Japanese characters, a traditional Edo-era water ceremony), her admiration for Dutch multi-medallist Jetze Plat, and doing aparkrun up and down a 10-metre strip of tiles in hotel quarantine.
Episode 196
Channel 5 News Crew roving reporter; co-host
Live on-stage interview in the Channel 5 News Crew round, asked where her first roving report was. The answer overlaps with the host's own across a shared diarizer label, so what each of them said is not separable here.
Episode 100
Roving reporter, Channel 5 News Crew member; volunteer triathlon technical official
The 100th-episode guest: how she became a roving reporter, her parkrun story (first run at New Farm in 2012, home parkrun Bunyaville), her work as a volunteer triathlon technical official at local and international-standard events, the state of triathlon participation, tips for aspiring roving reporters, and her dream parkrun (Orebro, Sweden).
