About the Show
Now hosted by KUT’s Laurie Gallardo – previously hosted by Teresa Ferguson – Radio Without Borders re-broadcasts some of the best tracks recorded live in Studio 1A … and reminds you why Austin is the live music capital of the world.
It’s one of the first KUT programs made available as a podcast, and it celebrates music from local favorites like Spoon, The Flatlanders, Delbert McClinton, Rodney Crowell, The Polyphonic Spree, and many more.
Radio Without Borders is available as a podcast and is updated weekly.
About Our Host
Laurie Gallardo
In Austin since: March 2001Favorite thing(s) about Austin: The support from my friends and colleagues. Wow. What a great support system!
If I had more time, I would...: Slow down.
Work/on-air history:
Public radio began for me in my hometown, El Paso, Texas, where I worked as an announcer at KTEP 88.5 FM. Here at KUT, I've since taken on new duties, including the Austin Music Minute and Radio Without Borders. I'm now a part of the fabulous Texas Music Matters posse, through which I'll resume producing Before the Break. You can hear my voice on underwriting throughout the day, and I also sit in for Bob Branson during the afternoon shift, on occasion. Outside of the radio station, I'm a voiceover artist. I've provided voice talent for commercials and educational materials, and I've done character voices for English translations of anime for ADV Films. I also sing for a band called The Platforms.
How I choose the music I play during my show:
When I conduct interviews with artists and musicians, I usually let them do the talking. It's obvious I'm not a music writer or critic. I just let the artist do the talking and let them describe what they do, or how they feel about it.
What I do when I'm not on air: I can never read enough books. Read, people. Read often.
A few of my key artists:
Lately, in my car, I've been listening to The Helio Sequence, Experimental Aircraft, Black Sabbath, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Betty Davis, {{{SUNSET}}}, and of course, somehow, somewhere, I slip in practically anything by Tom Waits.
I'm telling all my friends about: There are so many local artists that I can't possibly list them all.
Top 5 favorite or influential records:
I must emphasize that there's no way I could narrow down the musicians or albums that changed my life to a measley list of five. Instead, I'll say that music has always influenced my life. Period. Get over it.
