  • Great show

    Always enjoy listening to the podcast. Wish I could listen on Sat nights to the show but my schedule doesn’t currently allow. Only thing that would improve the podcast for me is if more music was part of the format.

  • KEEP IT COMING!

    For those in Austin TX that don’t know about this Saturday night gem on KUTX, please get near a radio and educate yourself ASAP. For those that live outside of Texas (bless your heart) and need to get schooled on hip-hop, here’s your best entry. Confucius and Fresh are fantastic DJs on a mission to raise up rap, hip-hop, and R&B, particularly of the local variety which is much needed here in our ever-gentrifying little city. (Not to mention they promote female artists too—how about that?!)
