Hey, you're listening to Outside In. I'm Nate Hedgy. Today here with producers Justine Paradise.

Hello Hello? And debuting here on the show, our newest addition to the team. I kind of want to do it like Oprah does.

Marina Henking! And then I walk out screaming or dancing, but on a microphone.

Hailing from the beautiful town of St. Louis, Missouri.

If one of our listeners is going,

they've got one day in St. Louis, where should they go?

They should go to Forest Park, which is the largest public park in the country.

Wow. Central Park is second, but it's controversial because if you include our golf course, that's what makes it the first.

And so, is the golf course public?

Can anyone play on it?

Yes, you can.

You can cross country ski on it. You can walk your dog on it.

That's public space I think. Sorry Central Park. That's that's what I'm telling every New Yorker

I see. It's the first thing I say. They love me. All right, let's get down to Brass Tax. So we hear it outside in have a confession to make.

A few weeks ago, we noticed something something or I guess rather the absence of something.

Listeners you all know our outside inbox hotline right? We put in the show notes. We mentioned it every time

we answer your questions.

Well, a few weeks ago, Justine noticed that we hadn't gotten a new voicemail in like five months.

I know, I was like, no one calls us anymore. is kind of weird right? questions about the natural world. No question is too silly or too serious. So let's hear it.

New message. This is Justine calling from Maine testing our hotline to see if it's broken or not.

Long story short, as it turns out, our listener hotline has been bugging out for at least six months.

You've been calling, it's been recording them, we have just not been getting them.
