Appears in 3 episodes, first in episode 124.
Every appearance
Episode 128 - Streaky September
Listener-recorded voice question played on air. Jackie of Gungahlin parkrun asks how Scott and Mel met and came to podcast together from different states; they answer — first met in person at the Ron Clarke memorial service, but got to know each other in the private Facebook group of parkrun Australia's original intake of Territory Directors (since morphed into the event ambassador programme). Scott notes at [00:39:28] the segment was "introduced a couple of weeks ago and it's an absolute fizzer", and recording a hotline question is now one of the streaky bingo challenges.
Episode 125 - August Madness
DEBUT of the segment that replaces the Poem Zone, complete with new intro music. Listeners record their own audio question via Facebook Messenger or an audio app and email it to parkrunadventurers@gmail.com; topics need not be parkrun-related. Three calls aired: (1) "Alan Ruck", long-time listener/first-time caller, on the lack of millennials at parkrun; (2) Peter Pohlman as "your Dorothy Dixer", asking what shoe size the hosts wear and why (Scott 10.5 US, Mel AU 5-6 / EU 37); (3) Caroline, on the Run Nation Film Festival launch with Keith Hong and when the hosts will attend their local screening.
Episode 124 - parkrun and not single
New segment announced as the Poem Zone's replacement: listeners record a question as a voice memo and email it to parkrunadventurers@gmail.com or send it via Facebook Messenger, and the hosts will answer it on air. Scott promises a jingle regardless of whether any questions arrive; Mel threatens violin screeching if none do.
