Audit ATX wraps first season
Monday, January 24, 2022 by Tai Moses
The first season of Audit ATX, a podcast series from the Office of the City Auditor, has wrapped. The podcast was launched in 2020 “to provide more transparency and accessibility to local government,” according to a city news release. Each episode is about 10 minutes long and generally features interviews with audit staff describing how audits and investigations are conducted and what they reveal. The most recent episodes follow the paper trail of a technology purchases audit and an investigation of an employee who conducted private work for personal benefit. Audit ATX co-host Kelsey Thompson said the podcast’s listeners tell her that the popular series “has opened their eyes to how the city really works.” All 20 episodes of season 1 are available through Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
