And you thought public radio deejays were all white guys of a certain age and nasal condition. KUT this year added a couple velvet-throated hostesses to their lineup, turning up the sultry quotient to levels unheard-of since some lost, forgotten golden age of Sultry (or at least the day Teresa Ferguson was hired!). Laurie Gallardo's Before the Break segments, currently archived online, spotlight independent and dare-we-say underappreciated Austin bands. Hosting the Saturday-overnight shift, Shrawder plays a sophisticated selection of midnight melodies like a vodka-tonic for the auditory nerve. A fine accompaniment to whatever your various and sundry Saturday activities may be.
KUT 90.5FM
