  Brand-new segment devised by guest co-host Scott Watkins (pun on COVID testing, acknowledged on air, Mel: "Pun intended"). Hosts trade positive things happening in the parkrun community and in general: Scott's Zoom dinners and joint cooking nights using themed ingredient boxes from South Yarra restaurant Atlas (Israeli, Korean, Mexican, Peru next) cooked along to YouTube and Instagram Live; Mel's partner Adam taking up sourdough from scratch, naming his starter first Leonardo then Frank (short for Frankenstein's monster), and buying a Dutch oven and proofing baskets with no bread produced yet; Scott and Joanne being spared the hated job of sorting 600 tokens; small online parkrunner communities springing up on WhatsApp and Facebook to check in on each other; and scouting potential new courses on quieter tracks. Mel adds she has been progressing a new event through the prospect process from isolation. Both close by stressing nobody should feel pressure or obligation, and inviting listeners doing it tough to get in touch by email, Facebook or Instagram.
