Episode description

An Austin ISD high school senior’s detention has shaken his classmates, church members and family awaiting his graduation. He’s being held in a South Texas immigration processing center. We’ll hear more about his story and the people awaiting his return.

You’ve probably interacted with the Austin’s Art in Public Places program without even realizing it. The city of Austin and the public arts community are clashing over millions in funding for the program. Austin Current’s Andrea Ball will tell us why.

Bobby Pudrido is a local drag performer whose musical namesake has become a candidate for Congress. We’ll talk about increased recognition in an already hyper-analyzed performance space.
