Not a rigid playlist
It follows the walk you actually take.
Start at the Capitol, your hotel, coffee, or wherever you already are. The beta keeps the map light and the stories tied to the block in front of you.
Hear the place, then keep moving.
The audio is written for walking: a quick setup, the useful detail, and enough room to look around.
Austin names, not filler.
Congress Bridge bats, Mexic-Arte, the Paramount, the Capitol grounds, Sixth Street, and the Butler Trail.
