The Totescast returns with its regularly irregular hosts this week, wrangling over issues ripped from this week’s installment of the Chronicle. Up first, the debate over density bonuses in the perpetually delayed Downtown Austin Plan.

Then it’s a recap of recent developments in the similarly slow saga of innocence-alleging death row inmate Rodney Reed. Lastly, the question of city incentives for Hanger Orthopedics, slated to come before the City Council this Thursday (Jan. 21), rears its prosthetic head as well. Fresh off the plane from Las Vegas and jury duty, respectively, Jordan Smith and Wells Dunbar are your totally awesome hosts.
