Customer Reviews
Outstanding
Brad does a magnificent job tracking down Austin’s leaders and discussing critical local issues. He covers topics and talks to people the Austin American Statesman and local newscasts don’t. Well done Brad.
Eh
Swail usually comes off like a “get off my lawn” crotchety old man. Even on issues that seem inane he gets worked up, starts cursing, etc. Also I hate to say it because it’s the backbone of the show but I (and probably others) don’t have any desire to listen to HOUR PLUS long interviews with local leaders we’ve never heard of on issues that are difficult to grasp. These should be 25 minutes tops for ease of understanding.
3 stars because I appreciate that someone is tackling local issues.
Common sense
Good to know there are normal people in Austin who wants to live a safe and secure life
