Episode 15 - Melissa Flentjar
The episode's main block: both hosts interview Melissa Flentjar, ED of the about-to-launch Lalor parkrun in Melbourne's outer north. Covers the launch plans (full Welcome to Country, Aunty Pam, a warm-up and demonstration by Indigenous Hip Hop Projects, a weekly Acknowledgement of Country ongoing), the partnership with the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service, the course description (old golf course, bike path, the high-five bridge over the Hume Freeway, the new Melbourne markets), and her personal journey from morbid obesity via Couch to 5K and Diamond Creek parkrun to losing just under 40 kilos and founding an event. Scott discloses he is her Territory Director.
