Three good things:

1. Started the writing for my upcoming podcast episode reviewing “Tim and Robot”.

2. Steak dinner ordered in before the Trick or Treating begins.

3. Wine, cheesecake, and the KXT 91.7 app playing Halloween-themed music as I sit on the front porch giving out candy.

Stupid phone could not identify #AlejandroEscovedo Bury Me on the radio. I knew I recognized it, but just my brain couldn’t get there. The phone was useless. If it’s not commercial, it doesn’t know about it.

Charley Crockett steps into the spotlight on major label debut 'Lonesome Drifter'

“I go to L.A., & don’t get me wrong, they love the $10 Cowboy out there, but there are still those people who, they see the cowboy hat & the Texas bravado, & they automatically got this idea of what it is. So, there’s only two ways to deal with it as a Texan. When you go outside of Texas, you have two roads: You tone it down or you turn it up. I’ve decided to turn it up.”

KERA 90.1 FM and all of its sister stations are off air due to a technical issue. 📻 📡

Friday, February 7th was the last day that KERA broadcasted from its long time studio on Harry Hines Blvd. While its new studio is built along the Katy Trail in Uptown, KERA will be broadcasting from the Fair Park studios of WRR Classical.

Today's outage is likely related to that temporary move.

Very excited to hear about the new studio and newsroom! Having visited the @gbhnews studio at the Boston Public Library last year, we daydream about a similar kind of setup here in Dallas. Big step in that direction with today's announcement!
