Jim Swift

We've seen his ponytail hanging upside down as he investigated acrobatic massage techniques. We've purred over his piece about a baby squirrel adopted by a mama cat into her new bundle of kitties, and we know we're in for other offbeat treats the several nights a week his "On the Porch" segment wraps up KXAN-36's 10pm news. Jim Swift never fails to give the often mundane prattle of local news a distinctly human touch as he ferrets out real people and heartfelt stories. He knows what makes Austin truly unique, and he knows it's newsworthy. We applaud him.
