It’s the Friday News Roundup! Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Hey Austin newsletter editor Kelsey Bradshaw and Executive Producer Eva Ruth Moravec to discuss the latest news that caught City Cast Austin’s eye this week. On our agenda: Austin’s inescapable hairdryer-like heat, why Austin City Limits music festival organizers moved Chappell Roan’s set (or so we think), and the eviction of a longtime East Side business and what it meant to the neighborhood. Plus, we talk about a new state policy blocking transgender Texans from changing the sex on their driver’s licenses. And make sure you stick around after the roundup for our Don’t Go Gently tip for this weekend. 

We’d like to thank Tecovas, who makes our favorite Western wear in town, for being our exclusive launch sponsor.
