How did the Austin City Council find themselves locked in a ‘death match' over what to do about Interstate 35? Two councilors and two journalists talk through the fraught politics of so-called highway caps. Guests: Megan Kimble, Nathan Bernier, José “Chito” Vela, Mike SiegelRecorded live at the KUT Festival in Austin, TX.

SCS43 – Nine Inch Nails in Austin TX, March 2026 Joe recounts attending a Nine Inch Nails concert at Austin's Moody Center on March 1st, 2025 with Paul and Ken. He delivers a detailed breakdown of the production: Trent Reznor's vocal performance remains *remarkably fresh*, the rotating band (featuring Robin Finck, Stu Brooks, and Josh Freeze) delivered exceptional musicianship, and the innovative multi-stage setup with live camera feeds created a dynamic, immersive experience spanning three acts. We debate whether Reznor's evolution from rebellious icon to polished professional represents artistic growth or strategic positioning—and ultimately agree the performance was *stellar*. What's your take? Have you seen Nine Inch Nails recently?

The Immersive Impact Review launched on March 13, 2026 at 4p CDT in Austin Texas during SXSW, and they describe themselves as "a hybrid journalistic and academic magazine examining immersive media's strive for social impact." The first issue theme is titled “Value(s) in Practice: Impact and Sustainability in XR,” which is investigating the following questions: "How do we measure and demonstrate social impact? How do we justify costs and tradeoffs in immersive vs. more traditional media?" I spoke to managing editor Michael Epstein at SXSW four days after their launch to get a bit more context on their founding with support from Agog, and we unpack some of the articles from the first issue. This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality

It's 2:27 in the morning on a Saturday night in Austin, Texas. The crowd has cleared out. The band has packed up. And Ramsay Midwood and I sit in a dark corner of Sam's Town Point — talking. I'd been listening to Ramsay's music for five or six years before I ever made it down there. Found him on Boot Liquor Radio — part of the Soma FM family of deep-cut internet stations — and I couldn't stop. That voice. Those lyrics. Funny, sharp, sometimes quietly heartbreaking. Beautifully crooked snapshots of America. Five years of telling myself: one day I'm going to Austin to see this guy. What I thought would be a twenty-minute conversation turned into more than an hour. His childhood outside Washington D.C. — raised by a father who went to college on a music scholarship but found his true calling as a novelist and poet, and a mother who was a painter. Theater at James Madison University. The Steppenwolf in Chicago. Los Angeles. A house fire. And a wrong turn on the way to a Super Bowl party that somehow changed everything. Sam's Town Point has been a South Austin institution since 1981. Tucked off Slaughter Lane in a residential corner of the city — you'd never know it's there unless someone brought you. Ramsay stumbled in for open mic night in 2002. By 2017 he owned the place. Not a bar owner. Not a businessman. A musician who took a wrong turn and never left. And somewhere along the way — I think I made a friend.

On this episode of ABL Live, we're talking about incumbent GOP Kentucky House Rep Thomas Massie losing his re-election bid during the primary to Navy Seal Ed Gallrein, the Austin Texas shooting sprees in Austin, Texas and San Diego, Luigi Mangione's flock of silly female followers, Raul Castro of Cuba formally indicted by the US Government, and much more!

On this week's episode of the podcast, Jason Brownlee of University of Austin-Texas joins Marc Lynch to discuss his new book, Force Without Authority: America's Wars in the Middle East and South Asia. The book explores why the United States' costliest military operations since Vietnam came up short and pushed Republican and Democratic leaders toward withdrawal and retrenchment. The book delivers a bracing audit of America's unipolar moment and a compelling case for statecraft over bluster. Music for this season's podcast was created by Feras Arrabi. You can find more of his work on his website Music and Sound at www.ferasarrabi.com.

John 3:16 is familiar, but the verses around it are a confrontation: God sends Jesus to save, yet people still choose darkness because the light exposes what we'd rather keep hidden. I read John 3:1 to 21 and sit with the hard questions it raises about belief, spiritual rebirth, and the daily tug-of-war between confession and concealment. If you care about a biblical worldview, Christian repentance, and what “born again” actually means outside of slogans, this one goes straight to the nerve.Then we bring that same honesty into marriage through Song of Solomon 4. Scripture does not treat spouses like roommates or accessories, and it does not treat intimacy like an optional add-on. I challenge the drift that happens when TV, sports, hobbies, or friends become more exciting than the person you vowed to love. If your marriage feels stuck, we start with the simplest place to look: the mirror.I also read from Psalm 104 and Proverbs 14 to connect worship with real conduct, especially how we treat the poor and the people right next to us. From there, I pivot into cultural and political concerns, including property taxes and a historical reflection on Franklin D Roosevelt's first inaugural address, using his words on fear and reality as a lens for our current moment. My bottom line stays consistent: if we reject God, we should not be surprised when everything else fractures.Listen, share this with a friend, and then subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we are deep in the weeds of toddler social skills, specifically: how to actually teach a toddler to share and the power of modeling behavior for toddlers because… they are watching (and copying) EVERYTHING. Then we recap Mother's Day (the four of us at the coffee shop, my protein pancakes at The Well, and then our chaotic visit to a new store in Austin (s/o to Tiffany the most patient employee in the store, we love you). Plus, Harrison's Father's Day request (NO gifts (how many times has he said this on the pod until Alex listens lol)) and a little 2 under 2 update because Tate is more and more OBSESSED with Rocky everyday and we genuinely did not expect this

Mitchell shares his remarkable story of growing up in New Orleans, surviving Hurricane Katrina, a crisis of suicidal despair in high school, and ultimately finding faith in Jesus at Texas Tech University.

What's driving Austin's economic boom — and can it keep up with its own success? In this episode of Texas Talks, host Brad Swail sits down with Jeremy Martin, President and CEO of the Austin Chamber of Commerce, to break down the forces shaping one of the fastest-growing regional economies in the country. From explosive population growth to major infrastructure projects, Austin continues to punch above its weight — but that growth comes with real challenges for businesses, workers, and policymakers alike. Martin shares his perspective from nearly two decades of experience representing Central Texas businesses, explaining how Austin has evolved into a hub for innovation, talent, and global investment. The conversation covers: • Why Austin and Central Texas continue to outperform the national economy • The role of talent, universities, and quality of life in driving growth • How Texas' business-friendly climate attracts companies and investment • The infrastructure boom reshaping Austin (airport expansion, I-35, transit) • Housing affordability and the long-term impact of rapid population growth • The biggest cost pressures facing businesses today • How the Austin Chamber represents over 1,900 businesses across industries • The balance between growth, regulation, and fiscal responsibility • Why property taxes remain a key issue for Texas businesses • The role of local, state, and federal policy in supporting economic growth The episode also dives into emerging issues shaping the future of business in Texas — including the rise of AI, data centers, and the growing demand for energy and water resources. Martin emphasizes the importance of “taking care of the basics” — infrastructure, water, energy, and workforce — as the foundation for long-term economic success. Looking ahead, the focus is on maintaining Texas' competitive edge while ensuring growth remains sustainable and beneficial for both businesses and residents. The takeaway: Austin's success story is far from over — but staying ahead will require smart policy, continued investment, and a clear vision for the future. 00:00 — Intro + Jeremy Martin joins 08:15 — Austin's economy and growth drivers 13:08 — Infrastructure challenges and major projects 14:03 — Housing affordability and market trends 16:01 — Role of the Austin Chamber of Commerce 18:20 — Business advocacy and policy priorities 20:58 — Taxes, spending, and Proposition Q 23:21 — Water, energy, and long-term planning 24:19 — Data centers, AI, and resource demands 27:18 — Texas competitiveness and regional growth 29:24 — Property taxes and business impact 31:01 — Federal advocacy and D.C. priorities 33:35 — Airport expansion and global connectivity 36:05 — AI's impact on business and policy 41:31 — Closing thoughts Watch Full-Length Interviews: https://www.youtube.com/@TexasTalks

Guests:President Susan Kimball and Board Chair Eustacio Lara are two of the driving forces behind the Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce—and if you think that just means ribbon cuttings and name tags, think again.

Eustacio (Deep Eddy Vodka Tasting Room) pairs that with a grounded, real-world perspective on what it takes to build relationships that matter—whether it's with small business owners, new residents, or the folks who've been here long before Dripping Springs was cool.Together, they sit at the intersection of business, community, and change—where big ideas meet small-town values.

Welcome to Messina Touring Week on Adventures In Venueland!

This is one of the BEST interviews we've ever done on supplements and cutting-edge supplement technology... We had Dr. Scott Sherr on the podcast — a board-certified internal medicine physician who practices health optimization medicine and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This guy KNOWS his stuff and we break down some of the most powerful compounds you can get your hands on to improve cognitive function, athletic performance, and longevity. Here's the reality... 94% of US adults are metabolically UNHEALTHY. That means your mitochondria — the powerhouses of your cells — are struggling to produce the energy you need. Dr. Sherr explains exactly why this happens, how it connects to everything from anxiety and depression to fat loss struggles, and what you can actually DO about it. We dive DEEP into methylene blue — the first drug ever registered with the FDA back in 1897 — and why it's become one of the most powerful tools for supporting mitochondrial function and energy production. But it doesn't stop there... We cover the GABAergic system and why most people are walking around GABA deficient (hello anxiety, insomnia, and mood issues), the synergy between methylene blue and red light therapy, how to use these compounds for travel, and a complete sleep optimization stack that could finally get you those 90+ Oura Ring scores. If you're tired of being tired, stressed about being stressed, or just want to understand how to actually support your body at a cellular level — this episode is a MUST listen.

Longtime friends and collaborators Ed Jurdi and Gordy Quist, co-founders of The Band of Heathens, are on the show this week!!  Ed and Gordy have a special bond that goes beyond music, and are celebrating their 20 years as a band with their latest album Country Sides.These guys are all about authenticity. DIY to their core, they talk to me about how the band reflects the true indie spirit of the Austin TX scene, a vibe which remains the guiding force behind not only everything they do but also what they are now able to forego. Ed and Gordy are super reflective about these past two decades of music, and we dig deep into the amazing bond they have with their fanbase built through legendary phenomenal live shows and years of touring.This is an interview you don't want to miss — click on the link in the bio now to give it a listen!!  ===================================Chapters:00:00 Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg03:50 Introducing 20 Years of The Band of Heathens 06:00 Celebrating chart success and independence 09:15 The DIY ethos and owning their catalog 13:01 The role of community radio and local venues 15:55 Origins from Austin's songwriters scene 19:15 The influence of Austin's musical melting pot 23:59 Building a band and navigating collaboration 27:12 The importance of respect and friendship in the band 31:26 Maintaining fun and fun as a core value 36:34 Musical influences: from The Beatles to Willie Nelson 40:32 The art of creating and improvising live performances 46:05 Evolving setlists and audience engagement48:11 The impact of pandemic and renewed appreciation for touring 54:12 The surprise of longevity and gratitude 59:38 Approaches to trust, last-minute changes, and overthinking 1:04:39 Family, parenthood, and balancing life on the road 1:10:25 Technology's role in connection and communication 1:14:34 Reflecting on old venues and new horizons in Austin 1:19:03 Final thoughts on the scene's evolution and future ===================================For more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

Un depredador aterrorizó Austin entre 1884 y 1885 atacando principalmente a mujeres afrodescendientes que trabajaban como empleadas domésticas. Solo cuando asesinó a mujeres blancas, la ciudad entró en pánico. Nunca fue capturado.

Swabs were taken from areas where biological material might still exist, even if it was not visible. Fragments of fabric used for binding were collected and separated. Bullets recovered during autopsies were preserved and logged. Even debris from the burned room—pieces of flooring, charred material, residue—was stored when it could potentially contain trace evidence. For years, those items sat in storage. They were not forgotten, but they were not actively producing answers. The DNA testing available in the early 1990s required larger, cleaner samples than the yogurt shop scene could reliably provide. The fire had broken down much of the biological material, and what remained was often too degraded to generate a complete profile. Investigators could test, but the results were limited—partial readings, inconclusive comparisons, fragments that did not match anyone in available databases. That changed gradually. By the late 2000s and into the 2010s, forensic science had advanced in ways that directly addressed the kind of evidence preserved from the yogurt shop. Techniques for extracting DNA from degraded samples improved. Analysts were able to work with smaller quantities of biological material and reconstruct profiles from fragments that would previously have been unusable. The case file did not change, but the tools used to read it did. When investigators returned to the evidence, they approached it with a narrower focus. They were no longer looking for a full, clean profile that could immediately identify a suspect. They were looking for anything that could survive the conditions of the scene—anything that could be amplified, stabilized, and compared. From that process, a profile began to emerge...Sources: https://time.com/7321492/yogurt-shop-murders-suspect/https://people.com/austin-police-significant-breakthrough-murders-4-teen-girls-yogurt-shop-new-suspect-34-years-later-11820020?https://www.statesman.com/news/local/article/archives-no-dna-match-yogurt-shop-case-21069666.php?https://allthatsinteresting.com/austin-yogurt-shop-murdershttps://allthatsinteresting.com/robert-eugene-brashersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kinda-murdery--5496890/support.

The verdicts held—for a time. Robert Springsteen IV had been sentenced to death in 2001. Michael Scott had been sentenced to life in prison in 2002. The prosecution had secured convictions in one of Austin's most notorious unsolved cases. For several years, the outcome appeared settled. But the foundation of those convictions was never physical evidence. It was the confessions. As the appeals process began, defense attorneys focused on how those confessions had been obtained and how they had been used in court. They examined the transcripts. They reviewed the recordings. They compared what each defendant had said and how those statements had been introduced to the jury. A central issue emerged from that review. At trial, the prosecution had used each defendant's confession to support the case against the other. Michael Scott's statements referenced Robert Springsteen. Robert Springsteen's statements referenced Michael Scott. Jurors heard both accounts as part of a single narrative of the crime. But Scott and Springsteen had been tried separately. Because of that, neither man had the opportunity to directly question the other about those statements in court. The issue reached the appellate courts as a constitutional question...Sources: https://time.com/7321492/yogurt-shop-murders-suspect/https://people.com/austin-police-significant-breakthrough-murders-4-teen-girls-yogurt-shop-new-suspect-34-years-later-11820020?https://www.statesman.com/news/local/article/archives-no-dna-match-yogurt-shop-case-21069666.php?https://allthatsinteresting.com/austin-yogurt-shop-murdershttps://allthatsinteresting.com/robert-eugene-brashersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kinda-murdery--5496890/support.

The US-Israeli war against Iran may have been initiated without any coherently stated goals or popular support, but we can already see that it's a horrific quagmire. It also doesn't look like Trump and Israel will get the swift Iranian regime change they hoped for. On the latest episode of Confronting Capitalism, Vivek Chibber is joined by Jason Brownlee, a professor of government at the University of Texas Austin, to discuss the history of regime change wars, the geopolitical interests in the Middle East, and Trump's further descent into the neoconservative blob.

In this Special Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan unpacks Operation Epic Fury - the U.S. and Israeli regime change strike on Iran that has now entered its third day. Bryan explains how failed peace talks, fresh CIA intelligence, and the arrival of the USS Gerald Ford set the stage for a massive coordinated strike that killed the Ayatollah and dozens of senior Iranian military and political leaders. More than 1,000 targets have reportedly been hit, including missile depots, drone facilities, naval assets, and command centers, while U.S. forces work to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and prevent oil shocks. But the fallout is already spreading. Iran has launched retaliatory missile and drone strikes across the region, three U.S. service members have been killed in Kuwait, American embassies face unrest abroad, and a deadly terror attack in Austin, Texas has heightened homeland security concerns. Meanwhile, Democrats and some America First voices question the legality and wisdom of the war, as markets react to rising oil prices and analysts weigh China's next move amid tightening global energy supply. Bryan closes with a sober reflection on regime collapse risks inside Iran, fragile U.S. weapons stockpiles, and the haunting lessons of North Korea - asking whether this moment represents strategic foresight or a dangerous gamble.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: March 2 2026 Wright Report, Operation Epic Fury Iran regime change, Ayatollah killed strike Tehran, USS Gerald Ford Middle East deployment, Strait of Hormuz naval battle, Iran missile retaliation Kuwait US casualties, Austin Texas terror attack Iran supporter, China oil vulnerability Strait of Malacca India base, IRGC power struggle succession, War Powers Act debate Trump, oil prices spike inflation risk, US munitions stockpile shortages, North Korea nuclear lesson comparison
