Dancing With The Roots and Rocks!-In this episode, we sit down with Jackie Howard — better known in endurance circles as SPROUT-a relentless athlete who proves grit isn’t loud, it’s consistent. From early morning miles to long-course suffering, SPROUT has built a reputation for showing up, digging deep, and outlasting the noise. We talk about what fuels her engine, how she handles the mental side of endurance, and why growth-real growth-comes from choosing hard things on purpose. If you’ve ever wondered what separates participants from competitors, this conversation delivers.

Monologue:

• New World Record For Women's 100 Mile Running Race
• Olympic Dreams Realized!
• Investors Flock To Dallas
• Rents Expected To Rise In Austin
• DSISD School Names
• A Wonderful Town To Live in

Guest:

Ian Evilsizor is back- and this time he’s dragging a little mud onto the dance floor. In this episode, we dive into his newest project, Swampy Tonk, a gritty blend of back-porch soul, honky-tonk twang, and the kind of storytelling that smells like mud bugs and neon lights. Ian talks about where the sound came from, why it matters, and what happens when you mix Texas roots with a little swamp swagger. It’s raw, it’s rhythmic, and it’s proof that country music still has some dirt under its fingernails.

Logan Papp and Jackson Bennet bring guitars, grit, and real stories to the mic. Rooted in songwriting and shaped by the road, these two musicians dig into the craft behind the music.

Expect honest talk about influences, failures, small wins, and the moments that make playing music worth the grind. No polish, no posturing. Just two artists having fun, pulling back the curtain on life and creativity, and the soundtracks we carry with us.

Guest:

Alex Strenger is a pedicab driver and entertainer based in Austin, Texas who’s carved out a niche as a local provocateur and personality — think equal parts Austin street performer, municipal troll, and self‑styled commentator. He’s known for cranking up chaos at City Council meetings, openly mocking government officials, and hosting an irreverent podcast called Convos on the Pedicab that leans into local satire and “keep‑Austin‑weird” energy. He also makes rap songs about conspiracies and positions himself as a sort of civic jester who highlights absurdities in politics and government with humor and confrontation.

• Ice Storm Fern
• Bud On The Comeback? IDTS?

Whether you’re fired up or fed up, Rob’s got a message for you—straight from the gut, no teleprompter required.
