As Austin’s population grows, open land becomes a key discussion.  Throughout Austin’s history, the 250,000 acres overlying the Barton  Springs Edwards Aquifer (this sounds weird, is it officially this name or is it two places?) has  been divided between the area’s business and environmental interests.  The solution became Hill Country Conservancy which created a coalition  of leaders between the business and environmental communities. The  nonprofit's mission is to help facilitate communication between both  parties in order to protect our land and our economy.In  this episode of Everyday Superhumans, Charlie and Kyle chat with  Adrienne Longnecker, the Chief Operation Officer and Director of  Development of Hill Country Conservancy. We talk about one of Charlie’s  favorite trail systems, the Violet Crown Trail. Kyle shows off his  vocabulary and understanding of the word easements. Finally, did you  know Texas has invasive species?

In this episode of Everyday Superhumans, Kyle and Charlie chat with Executive Director Kelley Worden. Kelley talks about the history of Art  From the Streets and the sense of community it gives to everyone involved, from the volunteers to the artists. We also talk about the  common misconceptions of people experiencing homelessness and how Art from Streets is finding creative ways to reach out to the artists in a  time of social distancing.

Delivering Happiness with Meals on Wheels Central Texas

In the very first remote interview of Everyday Superhumans, Charlie & Kyle chat with Amy Loar, the Executive Director of Generation SERVE, about how families can have fun volunteering together even while at home. Generation SERVE is building a society of future superhumans and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of their journey. 



Generation SERVE inspires youth aged 3 to 17 to focus on volunteerism and empowers them to make a difference in their community. Established originally in 2009, the nonprofit has 100 nonprofit partnerships, allowing youth and their families to consistently serve the environment, animals, seniors, and individuals and families in need.



In this moment of hardship it is best to look for the helpers, to paraphrase the late and great Fred Rogers. While we practice social distancing measures, Generation SERVE carries his message with their Helping While at Home initiative. The only requirement for volunteering is action and creativity.

Getting Down to Business with the McCombs Board Fellows

It's 2020, which means election year is here. Let's face it, elections can be overwhelming, from the grandiose national politics to local city policies. There's just so much to keep track of. But never fear, The League of Women Voters is here!



Established in 1920 after the ratification of the 19th amendment, the League of Women Voters was created to help inform and empower women in the political process. Within the 100 years of the League's long history the League has established themselves as a non-partisan resource for the voting public. From their helpful Voter's Guide to the new Vote411 website, the League has everything you need to be an informed voter. 



In this episode Kyle & Charlie sit down with the League of Women Voter's Austin Area about this coming election season, from primaries to the census and the general election. The two chat with Joyce LeBombard (President, Austin Area chapter), Quynhanh Tran (Community Outreach Chair, Austin Area chapter), and Grace Thomas (First Vote! Chair, Austin Area chapter) about the League's mission, their busy lives during the election and census years, and how you can become a more informed voter this election season.

Update: As you all could tell, the show is officially back on the air. Stay up to date with all things superhuman at our new website EverydaySuperhumans.show! 
-----------------------------------------------------------
You might be wondering why Everyday Superhumans hasn&#39;t updated since May. Well it&#39;s time that you all get an explanation. Charlie and I had a long chat about the future of the podcast and have decided to put it in an indefinite hiatus. Between the two of us we&#39;ve gotten so busy in our day to day lives that we haven&#39;t had a chance to work on the show. Outside of our work and social lives, Charlie is actively involved in several organizations and is attending an intense coding bootcamp. Meanwhile I am busy working with the City of Austin on a project I am very involved with, and working on a new podcast. 
Sadly there are so many hours in a day that we decided to call a long break on Everyday Superhumans. We would like to thank the following for making this podcast possible.

 Anna Hanstrom - Without her we would have never been able to extend our reach from podcasting to written content like the Superscripts and the Newsletter. In just her short time with the show we were able to grow so much. We wish the best for her and her future podcasting adventures!
 Joel Coffman - Who provided excellent camera work for our videos in featuring the Sustainable Food Center and We Are Blood.
  Jennifer Sneary - Who provided the editing work for our video series. You can find more of her wonderful work here.
  Lisa Apfelberg - Who is an overall wonderful person and served as an excelt advisor to the podcast.
  Adam Dodson - Who was a life saver and took up the reigns of graphic design from me and saved myself from the countless headaches it caused. Thanks man! You can check out his amazing work here.
  Austin Monthly - Who was wonderful to honor us with the Best Podcast of ATX 2017 award.
  And of course our guests and listeners for supporting us all along the way. We literally couldn&#39;t have done it without you.

But I won&#39;t leave you empty handed. Below is a list of excellent resources to support you in your superhuman mission

  GivingCity Austin - A local online publication covering the news of all things nonprofit here in Austin, TX.
  The Plural of You - A podcast of similar scope to ours, but covers people all across the world working on interesting and challenging problems that need fixing.
  The 80,000 Hour Podcast - A personal favorite of mine. The show is all about how you can use your career to make the world a better place in the most effective way possible. Every episode covers a pressing issue in the world that needs fixing and how you can fix it.
  Place Makers - A podcast miniseries by Slate covering communities across the US and the people who make them special.
  I Live Here I GIve Here - An Austinite&#39;s go-to resource for every ATX based charity.

 Thank you so much to the people of Austin and Houma
