At that start of a busy week here in the WOXY studios, our friends from back home in Cincinnati, Bad Veins dropped in for a visit and guest DJ set while on tour supporting their debut record. And right after them, Dangerbird Co-Founder Jeff Castalez sat down for a chat and to pick a few songs as well. Jeff and his wife Jo Ann lost their 6-year-old son Pablo to cancer and Jeff is currently cycling across the country on a 3,000+ mile journey to raise money to battle childhood cancer in the name of the Pablove Foundation.

Listen below to both hours of programming on demand.

It’s been a Cincinnati tradition off and on for years here on WOXY and now Local Lixx is ready to return, and with a brand new trick up our sleeve. We are all settled down here in our new Texas home, but will never forget our roots, so to cater to both sides of the coin, we are ready to bring you two Local Lixx programs now on a weekly basis.

For our Austin friends, a brand new Austin Local Lixx will be curated and hosted by our newest addition to the WOXY staff Paige Maguire. The new show will be similar to what you have come to expect from the “double L” but with a flavor especially for Austin, Texas.

And for our friends back in Cincinnati and through the midwest, Local Lixx returns just like you remember it next week as well as Joe will continue to bring you some of the best tunes from Cincinnati, Dayton, Louisville, Lexington and more.

Both programs are slated to soon, with the first new Austin show airing Tuesday November 3rd at 7:30 Central and the Cincinnati show going down in it’s familiar spot on Thursdays at 8:30 Eastern, 7:30 Central, starting back October 29.

To get a jump on things, why don’t you go ahead and subscribe to both podcasts now, and have the shows delivered right to you. Austin Local Lixx page and feed coming very soon…
