If you’re in Austin Monday evening, please join us at our new studios for a special listening session and panel discussion of Forged in Flames: An Oral History of the Labor Day Wildfires, a special project on the 2011 fires by KUT News and StateImpact Texas.

You’ll get to hear how the documentary and oral history project were produced and ask your questions about the fires and the project.
