City Cast Austin

Sad AI Art, Lines, Michelle Obama, and Other SXSW Standouts

Listen Later

Is it just us, or were the crowds at South by Southwest smaller this year? We spent days galavanting around town, and have some opinions. So, we’re bringing you our thoughts on the unexpected, the overrated, the beloved, and our big picture hot-takes from SXSW 2025, with host Nikki DaVaughn, Hey Austin newsletter editor Kelsey Bradshaw, and executive producer Eva Ruth Moravec. And in case you missed any of our festival coverage, catch up on episodes with local takes on SXSW music, the film and television festival, and what it brings to the city’s tourism economy. Plus, read up on the plans for the new Austin Convention Center here.
