Austin Connoisseur

Austin Connoisseur is part travel series, part business program. It examines the businesses that make Austin, Texas, the city it is today.

Each episode follows a particular personality who in some way contributes to the fabric of the city. These behind-the-scenes videos look at what each figure does and the way this influences the social, cultural, and economic fabric of their local area.

The series takes a candid look at Austin’s restaurants, art galleries, retail stores, and other small businesses.

Each episode is filmed in high-definition video, to ensure the quality is excellent even when viewing in full-screen mode.

Browsers can sort the videos according to their date of release, number of comments, and popularity.

Once fans choose a clip from the video menu they are taken to a new screen with a large player. The player's controls allow users to stop and play the video, adjust its volume, and view it in full screen mode.

Links underneath the playing screen allow fans to easily embed the video into their personal website, or send the videos to friends. Below this there is a video synopsis which gives details about what topic is covered in each clip.

Other episodes in the same series are shown to the right of the player, allowing fans to easily navigate around the site. Below this episode guide are subscribe links, which allow fans to receive alerts when new Austin Connoisseur videos are added.

Videos are free for anyone to watch, however additional features including the ability to leave comments are available to users who register for a free subscription.
