I don’t know how I missed this, but there’s a podcast called ATXplained, dedicated to some very local Austin questions. For example:
- Why Are There No Billboards On MoPac?
- What’s The Best Way To Get Into The Chilly Waters Of Barton Springs?
- Is It Bee Cave Or Bee Caves? And Where Are The Bees?
- Why Does The Top Of Austin’s Tallest Building Look ‘Unfinished’?
- How Did Texas Become The Only State With Its Own Toast?
- Why Are There So Few Homes With Basements Around Austin?
- Why Are You Not Allowed To Swim In Lady Bird Lake?
- Why Is MoPac Traffic So Much Worse In The Afternoon Than In The Morning?
- Why Do Lifeguards At Austin’s City Pools Blow Their Whistles At Break Time Like That?
Check it out! And thanks as always, KUT! 🤟
