Jen Austin

It's fun to pick on the boys in the office, fun to play music, and fun to talk to you all day at work. Thanks for listening! I grew up in a one-stoplight town in rural Nebraska. My whole family still lives there and I love going back to visit them, but I also love Texas. Barbecue, fajitas, and great live music....it's the place to be. I've lived in Texas for 16 years now. Austin, Dallas, and here. I've worked in radio from the moment I graduated from college. (The University of Nebraska...Go Huskers!) I've been on a hundred stations at one point or another. I just love radio. Other things I love....let's see. Blue ink. Black bores me a bit. I love cheddar cheese and barbecue sauce and anything that the two happen to touch. I fall asleep in almost every movie I attempt to watch. I have made it through Eat, Pray, Love and Mr. Wright. I like chick flicks. I have an awesome family and love spending time with them. You'll probably hear me talk about my daughters on the air. They're toddler girls who exhaust me, crack me up, and amaze me because I don't think I was ever that smart. I have two miniature schnauzers too. Thanks for stopping by. Now tell me about you.

You’ll See Less Skin This Bathing Suit Season

The forecast today in Lufkin includes chilly rain, and most of us are not exactly thinking about bathing suit season. But manufacturers and the fashion industry are always thinking ahead and their minds are already on the summer months. Some stores are even getting shipments of bathing suits right now.

The word is, there will be less skin showing this summer. Guys hate it, girls may love it! Those of us who haven't been doing our sit ups and crunches regularly (and those of us who drank one too many egg nogs over the holidays) may be happy about the bathing suit prediction for the summer.

If These Are Your Status Updates, Your Facebook Friends May Be Annoyed

We've all got those Facebook friends that post things like this for a status update: "Born down in a dead man town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground..." If you are anyone other than Bruce Springsteen, don't post that. Song lyrics as your status update are annoying!

What else drives your friends nuts?

Which Cities Are the Healthiest for Men?

Men's Health recently graded cities in terms of health, quality of life and fitness, and most Texas cities ended up in the middle of the pack in the Top 100.

One Texas city ranked in the Top 10 for men's health, due in part to the fact that the city installed red light cameras, and reduced the number of accidents it was seeing on a yearly basis. Guys in this city also hit the gym regularly.

Flu Cases Up in Texas

Maybe it's not just the effects of the New Year's Eve drinks that you're feeling today. Many people in East Texas are sick with something other than the "brown bottle flu" right now.

Flu cases are up in Texas. Emergency rooms from Dallas to Lufkin to Houston are saying they're seeing more flu cases right now, with fevers of 102 to 103 and that yucky, awful, achey feeling. And of course the other pleasantries associated with the flu that we don't need to mention.

With flu cases on the rise, what can be done?

Houston Texans’ Playoff Game is Finalized

If you're a football fan, you know that the Houston Texans had a shot at the #1 seed in the playoffs, which would have given them a week off to rest and await their next opponent. But they lost to the Colts yesterday, and the cards fell in a way that drops them to the #3 seed, meaning they have to play this weekend.

And oh, those Cowboys...what happened this season. Cowboy fans are in a funk today, and taking back all the bragging they did this season on Facebook. The 'Boys are out of the playoffs after losing to the Redskins on Sunday night.

When Do You Take Down the Christmas Tree?

Now that Christmas is over, it's probably time to take down the tree. For most of us anyway. One percent of the population leaves the tree up all year! You know who you are.

How long is too long? Most people take down the tree by early January, and some of us ripped it down as soon as the last present was passed out.

Today is Gift Card Exchange Day

Gift cards are more popular than ever it seems. They were an easy gift this year for many of us, and quite a few of us received them too.

The research firm CEB TowerGroups says around $110 billion worth of gift cards were sold this year in the United States, up ten percent over 2011.

But if you received one you don't want, you can exchange it for cash.

Here's how it works.
