Happy St. Patrick's Day y'all! Right now, Austin is bursting in green decor and luck is thick in the air. If you're looking for a spot to grab a pint of Guinness or sip an Irish coffee, we've got you covered. On this week's Tuesday News Round Up, host Nikki DaVaughn sits down with beer, food, and drink writer Ruvani de Silva to talk through the Irish-themed events you won't want to miss today. Plus, producers Elissa Castles and Eva Ruth Moravec join Nikki to break down a plan proposed by a handful of City Council members aimed at reforming how ICE operates in the city and what lawmakers are saying about the West Sixth Street Shooting. And to close out the show, we get to hear from our listeners.
