ATX SideBars Podcast

By Spicy Ang, Diggz, Popslife

We are three, 30 something year old co-workers, grinding in corporate America out of Austin, TX. We have common yet distinct backgrounds, who often find ourselves in "sidebar" conversations in the office. We’ve had so many insightful sidebar conversations that we knew we needed a creative outlet to continue those conversations and let others in. ATX SideBars is a fun and friendly environment where we express our opinions about society, current events, cultural differences, and everything in between. The opinions expressed in the podcast are ours and ours only and aren’t tied to any business or organizations we are affiliated with.
