• Episode 183 - parkrun: The Musical

  The episode's titular riff. PK, deep in his youngest child's school production week, floats the idea of parkrun the Musical or a running musical, citing Shane Warne the Musical (Eddie Perfect), Come From Away and Beetlejuice as proof that any premise can work. He sings an improvised "Don't you forget your barcode"; Mel suggests a jukebox-musical approach in the manner of Mamma Mia and calls it "a runaway hit". They agree to put a poll on the Facebook page asking listeners for song ideas.
