Ep. 38: Bill Childs from 'Spare the Rock' on raising the next generation of music fans
from I Love You So Much: The Austin360 Podcast · host Austin American-Statesman
In this week’s episode of “I Love You So Much,” we’re joined by Bill Childs, the host of KUTX’s "Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child," a weekly indie music show for kids that Childs has been hosting — sometimes with his own children, sometimes without them — for more than a decade. Bill, who is also an attorney who started a small record label along the way, discusses his experience running a multi-generational radio program and how to tap into kids' natural interest in music while introducing them to bands you already love. Clark Richards comes from a family you may have heard of. He's Ann Richards' son and Cecile Richards' brother, but he's also a passionate percussionist. This week, he talks with Omar and co-host Tolly Moseley about this weekend's new sequin-filled show, "A Night in Rio," from Austin Samba, which is North America’s largest samba group. The Amazon Books store opened at the Domain Northside in early March, but how does it compare to Austin's current bookstore culture? What does it offer and what's missing? All three book-loving podcast hosts went on a field trip to the store, which is the first Amazon Books store to open in Texas and the 14th to open in the country, to investigate and share their thoughts in this week's episode. In our Toast recommendations: Mary Karr's memoir, "Lit," TSA pre-check and the "Master & Commander" series on Audible. More info: http://austin360.com/loveaustin360 Learn more about your ad choices.
