Give it the Yellow Rose, the Lone Star, the Bluebonnet Blue Ribbon for excellence. I confess to being a devoted NPR listener; heck, before I left home I made a list of all the public stations in all the capital cities so I could tune in\u00a0as soon as\u00a0I arrived.<\/p>\n<p>KUT has entertained and guided me from Day 1 in Austin. Good programming, enough talk, enough news, and laudy miss maudy there is music music music. It&#8217;s not a blues station, like some I&#8217;ve loved, or a jazz station; nor does it dote on country, or folk, or bluegrass, or latin. It does everything.<\/p>\n<p>Listening to the Eklektikos show a few days ago while computering, I heard Emmylou Harris and Johnny Cash, Bob Marley and Bruce Springsteen, Asleep at the Wheel and The Shins, Alejandro Escovedo and Alabama Shakes, with NPR news at 11 followed by a live in-studio performance by Dr Dog, that psychedelic-indie rock band out of Pennsylvania in town for SXSW,. Dr Dog&#8217;s performace was a little off, for which\u00a0they apologized. &#8220;Morning voice, huh?&#8221;\u00a0was the astute-yet-forgiving comment.\u00a0I felt like they were sitting in my living room. Connection.<\/p>\n<p>KUT is thick in the community, involved and offering\u00a0opportunity for involvement. It&#8217;s been around since 1958, licensed to the University of Texas at Austin, a service of the College of Communication. Committed to supporting civic and cultural life in Central Texas, its mission is simply stated &#8212; to create\u00a0experiences that deepen understanding and connect people. &#8220;We are committed to authenticity, craft, context and the unique power of the human voice in all its forms.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Check it out.
