By Shannon Williams Other Side Drive Click here to listen to the Wonderb**** mixdown. Being the new kid at school can go two ways: you hide and get cast to the default table or you become the subject of conversation. These new kids moved to Austin only last year, started Wonderb**** in December of 2013, and performed in a CMJ showcase last month. It’s hard to notice that the band […]
By Megan Jo Segment Producer This is Megan Jo with Other Side Drive's "Stewed," your source for all things science. The Ebola virus. We have all heard about it, but how much do we really know?

By Jason McCall Segment Producer Imagine a world separated by bigotry. A world where different factions of society choose to alienate others based on characteristics they have no control over. This was all too real for members of the African-American community 50 years ago. The Civil Rights Movement of 1964 is a crucial part of our own history -- and for comic book history as well. After all, at the […]

By Daniel Fickman Segment Producer This is the 10th "Film Fix" episode I’ve completed and today I’ll be taking a look at the 1996 film "Swingers," which is easily in my top 10 favorite movies of all time.

I did a lot of thinking and reflecting in the past couple weeks about a certain actor, who in many ways I feel like helped raise me. But, not just me.

By Jason McCall Segment Producer Although the superhero film genre has been around for quite sometime, there’s never been a truly successful formula for a good superhero flick. Some movies, like “The Dark Knight,” find success with a much darker and grittier attitude, while others rely on well-placed comedic timing to win over fans.

I'm referring to the release of a comic book movie that changed the game for a certain famous character. That's right, I'm talking about Batman.
