Support the News You Listen to on KUT

The newsroom at KUT is a fast-paced, dynamic work space. Recently, though, we sent one of our reporters, Ben Philpott, away full-time so he could cover Rick Perry’s presidential run. We are proud to be the only individual station – in the history of public radio – to have committed full-time, nationwide reporting resources to a presidential race.

Above is a picture of Ben Philpott sitting in the Rick Perry press bus. He is working with two other reporters on a Tribcast. KUT has a political reporting partnership with The Texas Tribune. Every week, reporters at both the Tribute and KUT gather to talk about the political stories that are important in Central Texas. This partnership and the podcast are just two of the innovative ways that KUT brings you the news.

Please make a gift to support the news you hear on KUT. It will provide for both national programs like Morning Edition and PRI’s The World as well as local coverage by KUT reporters. Thank you!
