For more than 30 years, Austin Film Festival has provided screenwriting enthusiasts a front-row seat to the finest talents working in film and TV – and for nearly half as long, they’ve been extending that access to public television fans for the low, low cost of zero dollars. (But, you know, consider supporting AFF and PBS Austin both – the arts matter, guys!) Their nationally syndicated half-hour program, On Story, kicks off a new season with a conversation with Emmy Award-winning Hacks co-creator Jen Statsky, preceded by a reception and chance to ogle KLRU’s snazzy studios. It’s free to attend, but you’ll have to RSVP. – Kimberley Jones
