Does your organization have space – such as a lobby, auditorium, atrium or other area that could host 50-70 people? We’re always looking for space to host free community events, such as KUT Considers. We’ve recently partnered with Rivian Austin on our Field Guide to Austin series, including last month's "Bat Chat." In December, we’re partnering with Austin Beerworks on a mixer. If your organization has space and would like to host groups of KUT News and KUTX fans, reach out to info@kut.org.

The ATXplained Live project tells the stories of Austin’s people, places and culture. Our next ATXplained Live performance – where journalists bring the stories to life on stage using props, music and even special guests – is Wednesday, Oct. 23, at the Bass Concert Hall. Tickets are still available. https://lnkd.in/gQyE23-x
Last November, I started working on a story about why people were leaving patterns of kitchen flour around town for KUT’s ATXPlained series. To report it, I drank most of a hard seltzer, went on a run, then found humanity at the end. Programming like ATXPlained was a big part of my inspiration to pursue journalism, so having the opportunity to report a story, perform it on stage, and now release it online is an honor. Seeing it in the podcast feed still feels surreal. https://lnkd.in/gruYVE5u

We believe our year-over-year audience growth is driven by our in-depth local coverage of how state and local policies shape critical issues like education, the environment, population growth and shifting demographics. Our connection with the local community is further strengthened through audience engagement events, such as KUT Considers, monthly coffee meet-ups, ATXplained Live and more.

KUT & KUTX Public Media offers a powerful opportunity for marketers focused on #brandsafety, #trust, and #credibility in a low clutter, high engagement environment. SponsorKUT.org
