On this 34th episode of BoomATX Lee and Glenn sit down with SXSW Chief Programming Office and Co-President Hugh Forrest to chat about the early days of the festival and how he became involved early on because, as he puts it, he had a computer in the late 80’s.  Great stories throughout this educational and entertaining look at the festival that helped shine an even brighter spotlight on Austin, the Live Music Capital of the World and grow the annual event into a world renowned music, film and technology festival!

Consider this episode your VIP wristband to hear how it all got started over 35 years ago, survived a pandemic and where it might be going from here.  As long as there is an Austin let’s hope there is a SXSW!
