Our own Scott Horton has won the Austin Chronicle‘s “Best of Austin 2007” award for “Best Iraq War Insight and Play-by-Play.”
Scott won the “Critic’s Choice” award for Antiwar Radio (a division of Antiwar.com), which is based in Austin and broadcast live on KAOS-FM.
The Austin Chronicle is that city’s alternative/entertainment weekly newspaper. Here’s what they said:
Best Iraq War Insight and Play-by-Play: ‘Anti-War Radio,’ 95.9/92.7FM
A locally based program broadcasting in Austin, streaming and podcasting worldwide online, Anti-War Radio offers high-caliber commentary and guest interviews on the ongoing Mideast misadventure. Host Scott Horton, armed to the teeth with little-reported news and info, jettisons the pleasantries and PC radio lingo and tells listeners how it really is. As an added bonus, Horton often verbally lays waste to those seeking to prolong the billion-dollar bloodbath. Anti-War Radio can be heard on local frequency KAOS 95.9 and 92.7 – twice recognized on these very pages for fine iconoclastic broadcasting: Arrrrrrr. http://www.antiwar.com/blog/category/antiwar-radio.
The “Best of Austin” link appears at the top of the paper’s website for the entire year.
