If you’re poking around the interwebs looking for some free audio to stuff into your iPod, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got a nice little ‘cast for you folks today, so get to downloading!

We’re kicking it off with Five Second Rule from producer Ruth Eddy, then move right along to a brand new Mikie Show from our pal Mikie. And then, only a month or so late, we’ll celebrate Mothers’ Day with two really nice little pieces about moms. Enjoy!

The new show Braised in Texas mixes a love of documentaries (both real and mock) with a love of Texas culture and characters. It’s inspired by documentaries such as Hands on a Hard Body and mockumentaries like those made by Christopher Guest. The weekly improvised play centers around a BBQ competition and the characters who compete in it and it’s improvised in a mockumentary style. That means that characters will speak directly to the audience, there’s a narrator, and actors generally create a story arc for one character rather than playing multiple roles.

Hey folks, what’s up? We’re just hanging out, podcasting like a mamma jamma. We’re gonna bring you episode 7 of Decode DC, the show in which former NPR Washington reporter Andrea Seabrook tries to figure out the deal with our nation’s capital. Will she get it all figured out in this episode? Spolier alert: probably not.

And how about some Liner Notes? You like that? Good. You want us to do one on Billie Holliday? Done.

Finally, who doesn’t like going behind the scenes on the radio production world? Nobody doesn’t! That’s why we keep bringing you great episodes of How Sound very much like this one.

The Inspiro Fest is the newest entrant to the Austin Festival scene. The one day free event will take place at the Vortex on June 1 and will feature short plays, live music, dance, local vendors, and more. It’s presented by B Tru Arts, a new multicultural arts company created by Aisha Melhem. She’s hoping to inspire her audience while showcasing diverse and original arts that might not get exposure elsewhere.

It’s the long-awaited online premiere of O’Dark 30 episode 182! And by “long-awaited,” we mean one dude on facebook asked about it a couple days ago (here you go, Randy!).

And what wonderments await you and Randy as you listen to the big show? Tons, that’s what. Or that’s how many, I guess. There are tons of wonderments in here is what I’m saying. Like 99% Invisible, Invisible Ink, Views & Brews Remix, Stories from the Heart of the Land, and more! Oh, and do you enjoy cryptic messages from the host of the show? Then this is the show for you, folks. Enjoy!

April was National Poetry Month, but we’re still not done celebrating around here. We had a blast recording the poetry of Kealing Middle School’s Blank Page program, and just airing them on the radio didn’t seem like quite enough.

So here’s an animated version of “The Love of a Pet,” written by Sierra and read by Zell Miller III:

KUT’s Michael Lee handled the cartooning, and the music or this piece is Benny Goodman’s “Airmail Special,” recorded by Ben Saffer, Erik Hokkanen, Red Young, Roscoe Beck, and Brannen Temple live at the Cactus Café during a recent Views and Brews show.
