For this project, we ask you what you want us to investigate and what stories you'd like us to tell.

A few seats remain for KUT's ATXplained Live show Wednesday at the Paramount

KUT's Juan Garcia presents his story at our last ATXplained Live show in Sept. 2022. — KUT's Juan Garcia presents his story at our last ATXplained Live show in September 2022.

ATXplained Live is coming back to the Paramount Theatre on Feb. 22!

Join us for an evening of brand new stories based on your questions, told in sound, music, images, dance — and a few special guests.

You may have heard or read some of the stories from our last show, like this one about the most "valuable" thing in an Austin museum or this one about the history behind an aging relic on Lady Bird Lake. But there's nothing quite like seeing these stories told live and in person, sharing the moment with hundreds of other people.

We'll have another new lineup of never-before-seen stories. So please, join us at 7 p.m. on Feb. 22 at the Paramount. You won't regret it.

Tickets are now on sale at AustinTheatre.org.

ATXplained Live is sponsored by the Bullock Museum’s Third Thursdays and Nest Modern Home Furnishings.

It’s not labeled on maps or recognized in official documents, but most kayakers who have explored Lady Bird Lake east of I-35 can tell you about the forest in the middle of the water. KUT listener Alex Kane wanted to know more about it and reached out to KUT’s ATXplained project.

Claire McInerny

We get a lot of unanswerable ATXplained questions. So we asked John Aielli to answer them.

Andrew Weber

Many of the questions we get don't have actual fact-based answers. They require a subjective, tactile approach that can only be conjured and honed by the truly singular mind of KUTX's John Aielli.
