KUT’s latest podcast, “24 Hours in Austin,” dispatches out a team of producers to do just that — spend 24 hours in various locations in Austin. From Dirty Sixth Street to coffee shops to the airport and a call center for mental health emergencies, characters abound. KUT’s projects editor, Matt Largey, is one of the show’s producers and joins host Nikki DaVaughn to discuss, among other topics, why Austinites should always talk to strangers.
