“I can’t remember what I’m talking about or why I started doing this” (Mooney, 2025). Ain’t that the truth! This weeks episode is lit. Hold on to your wicks while Hannah sheds some light on the history of candles. Following this enlightening and illuminating chat Missy hopes you get this toot round ya snoot as she tells you all about snoring…hopefully it doesn’t put you to sleep.

2025 be feeling fresh and your friendly neighbourhood lose-leaf old bags are back with scores of new thoughts for you (well, two thoughts, because that’s the general format of the show). In addition to Missy-splaining what ‘TV’ stands for Missy lays down some Scrabble chat. Meanwhile, Hannah, aside from making bold claims such as declaring she could represent Aotearoa at Bananagrams, answers the age old question of milk vs water first when concocting the perfect cup of tea. Feat a long-winded story

Episode 46: What the figgy pud is going on?

Thoughts on a Run ·

2024/12/26

“So, like, what was your point?” Believe us, know one knows. Despite Hannah gaslighting Missy about historical dates, the final episode of 2024 is far from willy-nilly. With trademark celebratory silliness, Hannah (tries) to give the origin story of Xmas pud (you didn’t say they’d be custard!). Missy brings that big spinster energy as she has a jolly good yap about twelfth night.

Shut the front door!! It’s finally happened. Hannah and Missy’s twin minds and souls have collided and they had the same thought on a run. What is this momentous thought? You guessed it…traffic lights (the on-road traffic control system kind). Why are your fave podcasters getting lit to illuminated traffic signals and electromagnetic induction loops? Listen and find out. Warning, this episode includes some pretty cringe traffic light puns.

2024/12/05

“We're festive, we’re fun, we’re gonna share some thoughts from our run(s).” Screw your courage to the sticking place and hang in there as Missy commits hard to the invention of super glue (cos PVA was the pits) as an interesting thought. Hannah then sweetens things up with a dusting of facts about different types of sugar.Feat the deepest Les Mis reference you’ll hear this side of the french revolution

Episode 42: High-tops, low-tops, raven-tops

Thoughts on a Run ·

2024/11/28

Ever tried doing a tailwhip on a Razor scooter? Neither. Some say, “think of the children!” Hannah says, “think about your ankles!” as she serves some tip top chat on the benefits of high-top and low-top shoes. Missy takes things to new heights as she gets into the legend and lore of the Tower of London ravens. P.s. Hannah possibly does some of the best singing she’s ever done on the pod.

Episode 41: When the whistle blows or the hooter goes

Thoughts on a Run ·

2024/11/21

Yah girls went bananas at Round the Bridges and got some good numbers for the 12km race. Best mate Hannah Mooney even got a personal best! First up and fresh off the course, Hannah’s “just gonna talk about bananas” while Missy has a wee bit of a chat about the bridges of Kirikiriroa Hamilton (topical). We have some reflections, a bunch of laughs, Missy throws shade at Hannah’s ‘fun facts’, and of course we sing the songs that no one asked for.

Episode 40: Teletronic Superdome

2024/11/14

What do Hannah falling over and the hit late-90s children’s tv show Teletubbies have in common? They’re both trippy! This week we really raise(in) the bar as Hannah regales us with the harrowing tale of the recent tumble she took while out for a run. While raisins, sultanas, and currents are dried grapes, Hannah’s chat is far from dry as she gives a quick rundown (or should I say runner down) on the difference between the fruits. And goodness grapeness does Missy have a blast delving into the

Episode 39: “Once more for the pod, manglewurzel”

2024/11/07

Will-o-the-wisp is latin for ‘foolish flame’ and your fave fools and twin flames are back at it. In this gourd-geous episode Missy gets pumped about pumpkins as she lights the way through the history of Jack-o’-lanterns. Hannah gets going on the true MVP of our time: the humble traffic light drink. Served with a side of too many Sound of Music references.

Episode 38: Hand games and hieroglyphs

Thoughts on a Run ·

2024/10/31

Rock, paper, scissors. Scissors, paper, stone - however you wanna say it, we’re down to play it. Hannah gives the 1,2,3 on the history of paper, scissors, rock. Speaking of rock, Missy gets down with everyone’s favourite slab (the Rosetta Stone) as she barely scratches the surface on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Served with a side of Jacket Potato chat that no one asked for and Missy would like to formally apologise for saying “gee whizzy my shizzy.”

Episode 37: The one where Hannah served in Missy’s hat

Thoughts on a Run ·

2024/10/24

Sneeze safety is no joke but this podcast sure is. Missy has a corking good time waffling on about messages in bottles. Hannah puts the rock and roll in Rolling Stone as she tries (and fails several times) to correctly say ‘Rolling Stone’s The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time’. Feat some singing and SO MANY side bars! Moo deng, sneezing, historic royals, and potatoes, what more do you want from us?

Listen up kids - whether you’re a fighter, flighter, freezer, fawner, filmer or faller, this week’s episode of Thoughts on a Run has got something for you! Hannah gets into the nooks and crannies of jump scares and startle responses. Missy makes a 90 degree turn and lays out the parallel and perpendicular past of knolling (your favourite Instagram trend that you’ve never heard of).

Episode 35 Shiver me shammy cloth

Thoughts on a Run ·

2024/10/10

Shiver me jinkies! Your scallywag besties are back. Missy gets down into the deep, dark, briny depths of shipwrecks. Hannah gets the collywobbles and gives a shimmy for the shammy as she dives into the origin of why divers use shammy cloths.And yes, every time we say ‘ship’ it sounds like ‘s**t’...perhaps it’s funnier that way? Anyway, make sure to pop your ‘p’s kids.

Episode 34 “I think that smell might be me”

Thoughts on a Run ·

2024/10/03

Is that a fresh snag sizzling on the barby or is Missy wearing a smelly top? (Spoiler alert, it’s Missy). This episode is a banger. Hannah explains the differences between street classifications, why is a street not a road…because it’s a crescent? Missy really gets cooking with the legend of the great Kiwi pastime - the humble sausage sizzle. Sorry the audio is a bit shit…but do you really expect anything less?

Episode 33 - Greyt HAIRlarious chat

Thoughts on a Run ·

2024/09/26

Like the intertwining helix stripes of a barber’s pole, Hannah and Missy’s thoughts are in sync this week. Missy gets into the grisly origin story of barber’s poles and Hannah gets to the root (or should we say follicle) of grey hairs. Do it for the biscuits (save lives, give blood) and stay curious about all these random things!

Episode 32 - Splurgle means bowl (in a technical sense)

Thoughts on a Run ·

2024/09/19

What’s black and white and read all over? This weeks episode! Hannah tries to settle the “is black a colour or a shade?” debate, which (for some reason makes Missy angry). Missy tells a haunting tale about Goosebumps, not the physical phenomenon but R.L Stines’ literary sensation! Plus did you know we’re an Olivani household?

Episode 31 - Dino feed the Pigeons in Venice

Thoughts on a Run ·

2024/09/12

“What does operate a cow mean?” Your guess is as good as ours. Hannah has a clucking good time trying to figure out which came first, the chicken, the egg, or the dinosaur? While Missy relays some weird laws and how many times does Missy say “it’s interesting” - many, many times.

Episode 30 - Is that sleep in your eye? Nah mate,...

Thoughts on a Run ·

2024/09/05

Can you name all the colours of the rainbow? Hannah almost can. This week you get TMI, we’re talking eye discharge, farting, spitting, and phlegm with a side of weather chat. Hannah gets down and dirty in the world of ‘sleepy dust’ while Missy (figuratively) gets to the bottom of the double rainbow. Served, as always, with a big old side of silliness.

Episode 29 - Tin cans under Disneyland

Thoughts on a Run ·

2024/08/29

“Anyway, so I’m just gonna tell you some stuff about tin cans” (M. Mooney, 2024). If this direct quote doesn’t have you hooked nothing will! For some reason Missy pops the tab on some drink can/tin facts. Hannah goes deep underground in search of the secrets of the tunnels under Disneyland *insert spooky The X-Files theme music*.
