Hello friends! Journalist, author, and Austin treasure, Michael Barnes is my guest for episode 1492! Michael writes a column for the Austin American-Statesman about the city's people, places, and things. He's also written four volumes of "Indelible Austin", a book series that explores the link between old and new Austin. Click HERE to check out the book series. Michael and I have a great conversation about growing up in Houston, moving to Austin in the mid 80's for graduate school, some of his favorite Austin haunts, the Austin Found Podcast, "Indelible Austin", what keeps him interested in Austin and Texas, the state of print media, and much more. I had a great time getting to know Michael. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!
