Public Radio Runner is the veteran trash panda who calls the dumpster behind his local public radio station home. He loves snacks, running distances people hate driving, and above all the communities that comprise the trail, ultra, and public radio worlds. Because the friend, family member, or rando cheering you on at a mile 77 aid station is the same kind of person who supports local public radio. They both care about community when it hurts.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-13T14:21:42.598129+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bonus-smiles-hosted-by-public-radio-runner-7696040"},"episode":{"title":"Lone Star Trail FKT & Music as an Aid Station (Vicki Allen | Bonus Smiles S2E11)","slug":"lone-star-trail-fkt-music-as-an-aid-station-vicki-allen-bonus-smiles-s2e11","published_at":"2026-09-06T15:00:01+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bonus-smiles-hosted-by-public-radio-runner-7696040/lone-star-trail-fkt-music-as-an-aid-station-vicki-allen-bonus-smiles-s2e11","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/bonus-smiles-hosted-by-public-radio-runner-7696040","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/publicradiorunner/episodes/Lone-Star-Trail-FKT--Music-as-an-Aid-Station-Vicki-Allen--Bonus-Smiles-S2E11-e3oeps2","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/10d036200/podcast/play/125314370/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-8-7%2Fbd3fa80b-f866-e5c4-3671-711101c85fa0.mp3","summary":"Vicki Allen is an ultrarunner who’s after the fast known time, or FKT on the Lone Star Trail just north of Houston. This 96 mile traverse is the longest continuous trail in Texas. But for Vicki this wasn't a one way adventure–it was a 192 mile out and back. Unlike other 200 milers such as Tahoe, Bigfoot, Moab, or Cocodona, it’s not hundreds who toe the line on raceday–this year 25 souls lined up for the point to point race. And outside of some water stations, the rest is up to you! Vicki shares sonic strategies that keep her moving forward and entertained when headphones greet you with an unexpected low battery message.
