The final episode of The Austin Chronicle Show, our weekly community and cultural program on KOOP Radio, aired on March 13, 2020. The pandemic put the show on hiatus, but thanks to the continued support from our friends at COOP and the wonders of modern technology that has made home recording possible, we’ll be reviving the show starting next week. Tune in to KOOP 91.7FM on Friday, August 27th at 6:00 p.m. or online at koop.org.
