    While I hope the show continues to provide Austinites with good info about the city, Nikki Devaughn’s warmth is what got me to listen. I wish the new host luck but I’ll be listening elsewhere

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Free Pancakes for Voters, Latino Turnout for Midterms, and a Controversial Prop
Q: What is Proposition I asking voters to approve, and what are the main arguments surrounding it?
Stansbury says the measure would amend Austin's city charter to require an independent efficiency audit every five years. Supporters see it as a way to secure recurring scrutiny of spending, while opponents cite the city's existing audit program, potential costs, limited flexibility and legal uncertainty.
