We've purred over his piece about a baby squirrel adopted by a mama cat into her new bundle of kitties, and we know we're in for other offbeat treats the several nights a week his "On the Porch" segment wraps up KXAN-36's 10pm news.

He knows what makes Austin truly unique, and he knows it's newsworthy. We applaud him.
