Discover Austin - All Episodes
Discover Austin: Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch (Episode 80)
Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch is not only a giraffe and rhino conservation facility, it offers visitors the opportunity to get up-close to animals from around the world. Join me as I feed native, exotic, & endangered animals right from my car as I drive-thru the safari.
Discover Austin: Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center (Episode 77)
Lady Bird Johnson was an advocate for the beautification of our nation and highways, so it should come as no surprise that the botanical garden of Texas bears her name. I visit the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in this episode of Discover Austin.
Discover Austin: The Alamo - Extended Version
This road trip episode of Discover Austin is different than most. Usually I narrate as the video shows our subject. When I went to the Alamo, the director of Education, Sherri Driscoll, was a gracious host and has a huge depth of knowledge. After she shared the history of the Alamo, I decided to scrap the original script I had and just have the Alamo history be the narration for this episode. As it turns out, though, Sherri shared a lot of history with me so we created an extended length version for you
Discover Austin: The Alamo (Episode 66)
This road trip episode of Discover Austin is different than most. Usually I narrate as the video shows our subject. When I went to the Alamo, the Director of Education, Sherri Driscoll, was a gracious host and has a huge depth of knowledge. After she shared the history of the Alamo, I decided to scrap the original script I had and just have the Alamo history be the narration for this episode.
Discover Austin: The Domain (Episode 46)
For this episode of Discover Austin, I visited the Domain in north Austin, a mixed-use development comprised of shops, restaurants, residential living, and office space. It sits on land once owned by IBM and its name stems from what was originally planned for that land.
Discover Austin: Din Ho Chinese BBQ (Episode 45)
While Chinese food and barbecue don't seem like they should be paired together, Din Ho Chinese BBQ is here to prove that they should! Local food blogger, Michael Zook and I went to enjoy their specialty dishes for this episode of Discover Austin Eats.
Discover Austin: Kite Fest (Episode 40)
For this episode of Discover Austin, we hit Zilker Park to attend the country's longest running kite festival. Grab the kids (as well as the dog!) and head to Zilker next March to see kites of all shapes and sizes fill the sky over Zilker for the annual ABC Kite Fest.
Discover Austin: Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que (Episode 39)
Austin food blogger, Michael Zook knows the best spots to eat even when we're 700 miles from Austin! When we found ourselves in Kansas City a few weeks ago, we took the opportunity to get barbecue at Joe's Kansas City and film a special road trip edition of Discover Austin Eats.
Discover Austin: Mayfield Park (Episode 37)
Mayfield Park and Preserve is home to a group of peafowl. Mating season begins in February, meaning the males have grown their full plumage. Head out to see the peacocks strut their stuff in the spring or head out in July to collect the feathers they drop at the end of mating season.
Discover Austin: Quick Visits (Episode 31)
Lets step away from the main attractions here in Austin for this episode of Discover Austin. Our city if full of hidden gems that you can easily visit in an afternoon. Here, we'll stop at three of those places; Sparky Park, the Larry Monroe Memorial Bridge, and Fairy Alley.
Discover Austin: JewBoy Burgers (Episode 30)
On this episode of Discover Austin, Michael Zook and I head over to JewBoy Burgers at the food truck park at 5000 Burnet Road in Austin.  Mo makes up some wonderful burgers and provides a great experience. So cancel those plans with your vegan friend and head over to JewBoy Burgers instead!
Discover Austin: Trail of Lights (Episode 28)
In this episode of Discover Austin, I visit in the long-running Trail of Lights. For a couple weeks each December, Zilker Park is transformed into a spectacular light display. In addition to the lights, you can visit with Santa, enjoy live (often local) entertainment, food trucks, and more.
Discover Austin: Chicken Fried Steak (Episode 22)
This Discover Austin episode, once again, includes local food blogger, Michael Zook. We are headed to Mouton's Bistro for Chicken Fried Steak, a typical Texas dish. I mentioned it in episode 17 when we went to the Broken Spoke and I promised to feature the dish in future episode.

In this episode of Discover Austin, we head underground to explore the Inner Space Cavern. The cave offers tours to all levels of explorers, from the beginner Adventure Tour to the extreme Wild Cave Tour where a guide takes you to undeveloped portions of the cave.
