The Totescast has a special call-in guest this week: Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo, who’s been shortlisted among the top cops to run the Dallas shop. We do our best to remind him Dallas kinda sucks.

Then on the city beat, a discussion of Sustainable Waves, solar-powered stage outfitters whose outdoor music venue permit was pulled by City Council amid a wash of complaints and confusion. And lastly, a look at two animalistic items before council this week: Austin’s new “no kill” pound plans, and construction bucks for a new animal center on the Eastside. As always, Jordan Smith and Wells Dunbar are your totally awesome hosts.
