City Cast Austin

Host Nikki DaVaughn sits down with Evil MoPac, the anonymous social media persona masquerading as an Austin highway. We won’t give up their identity, but will give you the inside scoop on their true feelings about the made-in-Austin Cybertrucks, and their creator, Tesla’s Elon Musk, now an Austinite himself. We’d like to thank Tecovas, who makes our favorite Western wear in town, for being our exclusive launch sponsor. Want some more Austin news?

For our inaugural episode, host Nikki DaVaughn sits down with Austin Mayor Kirk Watson, who’s currently on a return tour of duty at City Hall. Watson was mayor a few decades ago, then served in the state senate, and is now back to govern in a place that, in the meantime, has grown from a town to a big city.
