Austin's political insiders and outsiders alike are trying to get a handle on an election that promises to shape the city for years to come.</p> <p><strong>Roger Borgelt</strong> is vice chairman of the <strong>Travis County Republican Party</strong>. He also served as co-chair of the <strong>Austinites for Geographic Representation</strong> – the group responsible for getting 10-1 on the ballot. He says that he is excited about the promise of more localized, neighborhood representation, as well as the possibility of conservatives (or at least fiscal conservatives) taking some of the 11 open City Council seats.</p> <p> <br/><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140207104744if_/https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/132793502&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true" width="100%"></iframe></p> <p></div> </div> </div> <a href="/web/20140207104744/http://kut.org/post/austins-political-players-look-gain-seats-new-city-council" class="read-more">Read more</a> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div id="node-8495" class="card node node-post node-promoted node-teaser node-type-post node-promoted node-teaser clearfix card-agg " about="/post/subscribe-our-weekly-news-podcast" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Article"> <div class="card-content"> <h5 class="slug">KUT Weekend</h5> <div id="published-datetime" class="clearfix"> <h5> <div class="card-time">12:45 <span class="card-ampm">pm</span> </div> <div class="card-date">Fri January 31, 2014</div> </h5> </div> <h2 property="dc:title" datatype="" class="node-title" itemprop="name"><a href="/web/20140207104744/http://kut.org/post/subscribe-our-weekly-news-podcast">Subscribe to Our Weekly News Podcast!</a></h2> <div class="content"> <div class="card-image-container"> <div class="cp-image card-image"> <div class="cp-image-single"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140207104744/http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/kut/files/201401/KUT_Weekend_Artwork.png" class="cp-image-link lightbox" rel="nofollow" caption="" agency=""><img itemprop="image" typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140207104744im_/http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/kut/files/styles/medium/public/201401/KUT_Weekend_Artwork.png" width="220" height="220" alt=""/></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="card-share"> <div class="card-stat card-facebook"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140207104744/http://kutnews.org/post/subscribe-our-weekly-news-podcast" rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_facebook" fb:like:layout="button_count" fb:like:liketext="Share" addthis:url="http://kutnews.org/post/subscribe-our-weekly-news-podcast">Share</a> </div> <div class="card-stat card-twitter"> <div> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140207104744/http://kutnews.org/post/subscribe-our-weekly-news-podcast" rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_twitter" addthis:url="http://kutnews.org/post/subscribe-our-weekly-news-podcast" addthis:title="Subscribe to Our Weekly News Podcast!">Tweet</a> </div> </div> <div class="card-stat card-googleplus"> <div> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140207104744/http://kutnews.org/post/subscribe-our-weekly-news-podcast" rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_google_plusone" addthis:url="http://kutnews.org/post/subscribe-our-weekly-news-podcast" g:plusone:count="false" g:plusone:size="medium"></a> </div> </div> <div class="card-stat card-email"> <a href="javascript:void(0);" rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_email" addthis:url="http://kutnews.org/post/subscribe-our-weekly-news-podcast" addthis:title="Subscribe to Our Weekly News Podcast!">E-mail</a> </div> <div class="card-stat card-disqus"> <a href="/web/20140207104744/http://kut.org/node/8495#disqus_thread" data-disqus-identifier="node/8495">Comments</a> </div> </div>  <div class="meta"> <span class="submitted"> <span class="submitted-label">By</span> <a href="/web/20140207104744/http://kut.org/people/nathan-bernier" rel="author">Nathan Bernier</a> </span> </div> <div class="card-text"> <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden "> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><strong>KUT Weekend </strong>is our new local news podcast!
