City auditor launches podcast

The Office of the City Auditor has launched a new podcast focused on revealing the inner workings of local government and following the latest investigations and audits. Audit ATX, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, features interviews with city auditor staff in the interest of providing more “transparency and accessibility” to the work being done at the city office. Each 15-minute episode will provide a summary of an auditor’s report. Software licenses and fraud and waste at the Austin Public Library are the topics of the first two episodes. Audit ATX co-host Kelsey Thompson said in a news release, “We’ve heard from listeners that this podcast has opened their eyes to how the city really works.”
