  • Seriously?

    Seriously? I just listened to yalls reporting on the Capitol Factory guy. I get it he just died, but seriously not one word on the controversy surrounding that company? Just pure glazing of a death merchant? Didn’t realize KUT was just synonymous with corporate propaganda.

  • Anxiety Inducing 80s Intro Music

    I’m new to this show since it was merged with KUT News Now. I won’t be listening to it since I can’t get past the awful anxiety inducing intro music that sounds like an 80s hairband wrote for a crime show. Please. This is Austin. You can do better.
