Love-A-Bull works to improve the image and lives of pit bull type dogs through community support, education, advocacy, and rescue. The Austin based nonprofit treats dogs as individuals and spreads their message of pit bull love across the city.
Join Kyle and Charlie as they sit down with Brandy Lord, Vice President and Board of Directors, of Love-A-Bull, as she takes them through the history of pit bulls as well as common misconceptions of their breed. As expected, Charlie gushes over animals.

As Austin’s population grows, open land becomes a key discussion.  Throughout Austin’s history, the 250,000 acres overlying the Barton  Springs Edwards Aquifer (this sounds weird, is it officially this name or is it two places?) has  been divided between the area’s business and environmental interests.  The solution became Hill Country Conservancy which created a coalition  of leaders between the business and environmental communities. The  nonprofit's mission is to help facilitate communication between both  parties in order to protect our land and our economy.In  this episode of Everyday Superhumans, Charlie and Kyle chat with  Adrienne Longnecker, the Chief Operation Officer and Director of  Development of Hill Country Conservancy. We talk about one of Charlie’s  favorite trail systems, the Violet Crown Trail. Kyle shows off his  vocabulary and understanding of the word easements. Finally, did you  know Texas has invasive species?

Protecting our land with Hill Country Conservancy

Established in 1991, Art From the Streets has helped hundreds of people experiencing homelessness form an art community. The wonderful artists at the heart of the organization attend weekly studio sessions. Through Art From the Street's online store and annual art show each artist receives a  majority of the profits from their work.
In this episode of Everyday Superhumans, Kyle and Charlie chat with Executive Director Kelley Worden. Kelley talks about the history of Art  From the Streets and the sense of community it gives to everyone involved, from the volunteers to the artists. We also talk about the  common misconceptions of people experiencing homelessness and how Art from Streets is finding creative ways to reach out to the artists in a  time of social distancing.

Finding Community with Art from the Streets

Living a Joyful Life at Marbridge

GirlForward is an Austin based charity with Chicago roots dedicated to helping refugee girls ages 14 to 21 adapt smoothly and safely into America. It isn't being a refugee of any kinds, but unfortunately girls are especially venerable to violence, isolation, and a lack of education during times of civil unrest. GirlForward's mission is to help these young girls feel safe and at home, even in a different country.



In this episode of Everyday Superhumans Charlie and Kyle chat with Karnika Iyenga, the executive director of GirlForward, about the many challenges refugee girls face and how GirlForward is helping them overcome them.

Pushing Forward with GirlForward

Austin Wildlife Rescue has been helping keep Austin wild since 1977. Austin Wildlife Rescue rehabilitates and releases orphaned, sick, and injured wild animals and educates the public to coexist with wildlife.
In this episode of Everyday Superhumans Charlie and Kyle chat with the Hayley Hudnall, Executive Director of Austin Wildlife Rescue, about the nearly 8,000 animals AWR took in during 2019 as well as common misconceptions about wild animals and how you can help them. We often forget that the animals came before the neighborhoods and we are infringing on their territory. AWR helps us live together in harmony with education about protection and rehabilitation for the animals.
