24 hours in Austin

24 Hours at the Austin Airport

Nobody wants to be at the airport. At least not any longer than they have to. We spent 24 hours at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport— from 9 a.m. on May 6 to 9 a.m. on May 7 — to experience everything that happens there.

KUT Producers: Matt Largey, Greta Díaz González Vázquez, Maya Fawaz, Audrey McGlinchy, Stephanie Federico, Olivia Aldridge, Kailey Hunt, Nathan Bernier, Mose Buchele and Wynne Davis.

Production help from Hasina Shah, Sara Kinney and Tinu Thomas.

A team of audio producers from KUT spent the last several months documenting a handful of days in the life of Austin. They spent 24 hours straight in one location, talking to anyone who’d talk to them. They found that as big as Austin has gotten, standing still, it gets a little smaller.
