AUSTIN STORIES, EPISODE 5 - "CULTS" - If the Seinfeld crew lost their shirts and one major character, they'd be the East Coast version of MTV's legendary "Austin Stories" bunch. This critical and ratings hit captures the refreshing zeitgeist of our town circa '97, and you can't buy it or see it anywhere else. Will Chip conquer his fear of picnics? Why is everyone freaked out by Laura's pic in the paper? And can Howard survive his "old-o-phobia"?

"...first-rate... Austin Stories has carved out its own place as an amiable, unslick alternative to conventional sitcoms." - Caryn James, NY Times

THE SOUP PEDDLER - The slow food movement moves on a bike in Austin, where David Ansel delivers gallons of hand-made soup to subscribers, otherwise known as "soupies", all over the city. Ansel believes that Americans are food-alienated, and his all natural, tenderly-concocted recipes allow people to eat well with a conscience. He proves that livable, connected neighborhoods can support human-scale, environmentally-responsible micro-businesses such as his.

Parental advisory: some spicy (television-strength) language in Austin Stories.
