Airing on Friday, March 13, 2015: Today, we’re coming to you from an Austin bar, where we will take a look at the impact of SXSW visitors on the city. First, Ben speaks with Marketplace’s Adriene Hill about the shift from SXSWedu to SXSW Interactive. Next up is Silicon Tally with Will Hurley, a longtime member of Austin’s tech community and the CEO of Honest Dollar, a company launching at SXSW Interactive this week. And finally, we talk with Matt Wright, co-founder of Wright Bros. Brew and Brew, about “the badge” as a symbol of SXSW, and what impact the event has for a new business like his.
