The podcast to restore your faith in humanity! Join Charlie & Kyle as they cover the nonprofits and do-gooders of Austin, Texas and connect you with causes that you care about.
As Austin’s population grows, open land becomes a key discussion. Throughout Austin’s history, the 250,000 acres overlying the Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer (this sounds weird, is it officially this name or is it two places?) has been divided between the area’s business and environmental interests. The solution became Hill Country Conservancy which created a coalition of leaders between the business and environmental communities. The nonprofit's mission is to help facilitate communication between both parties in order to protect our land and our economy.In this episode of Everyday Superhumans, Charlie and Kyle chat with Adrienne Longnecker, the Chief Operation Officer and Director of Development of Hill Country Conservancy. We talk about one of Charlie’s favorite trail systems, the Violet Crown Trail. Kyle shows off his vocabulary and understanding of the word easements. Finally, did you know Texas has invasive species?

Finding Community with Art from the Streets
Established in 1991, Art From the Streets has helped hundreds of people experiencing homelessness form an art community. The wonderful artists at the heart of the organization attend weekly studio sessions. Through Art From the Street's online store and annual art show each artist receives a majority of the profits from their work.
In this episode of Everyday Superhumans, Kyle and Charlie chat with Executive Director Kelley Worden. Kelley talks about the history of Art From the Streets and the sense of community it gives to everyone involved, from the volunteers to the artists. We also talk about the common misconceptions of people experiencing homelessness and how Art from Streets is finding creative ways to reach out to the artists in a time of social distancing.
