Episode 44: FOMO at SXSW?

March 7, 2018

FOMO at SXSW? Fear of missing out at the annual South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, can be a problem. In this episode of the Associated Press podcast “Get Outta Here,” AP Travel editor Beth Harpaz talks to AP reporter Paul Weber, who covers the festival each year, for some tips on how to get the most out of SXSW. The festival started more than 30 years ago as a grassroots talent incubator but it’s become a phenomenon. Some 400,000 people now attend, jockeying for entree into speeches by A-listers, Hollywood-style film premieres, 2,000 music performances and tech and product launches.
