I used to listen to him on KYMS Christian radio in Southern California years ago. It was probably one of his first jobs.

I heard him a little over a week ago during a cross-country car ride filling in for someone else (can’t remember who). It was the first time I had heard him in years.

I’m shocked. He was not that old.

This is chilling. I'm in Phoenix, listening to talk radio all day, but neither Liddy & Hill nor Austin had crossed my mind in easily 5 or 6 years...until Friday while on a walk by their old studio.

RIP.

Hard to believe it’s been that long since they had the show.

Sorry to hear that. While Austin wasn’t my favorite host, this is very sad news for anyone.

I remember him filling-in for TGO and Chris Plante, back in the early summer, on some holidays. RIP.

It is with great shock and sorrow that we announce Austin Hill unexpectedly died on Friday night, November 13th. At this time, doctors suspect the cause of death was cardiac related.
As a follower of Jesus, Austin’s faith permeated and influenced all aspects of his life. He was committed to speaking the truth and engaging people in thoughtful conversation. In addition to writing and public speaking, Austin had a national radio presence with dedicated listeners across the country. Most importantly, he was a loving husband, and as his son describes him, an avid father.
Details concerning a memorial service will be posted on Austin’s Facebook page.
In lieu of flowers, it is requested that gifts be sent to a college fund for his son, Graham, a high school senior: https://www.youcaring.com/graham-hill-469855

Yes, I agree. Very sad, but also very alarming! For the sake of everyone (family and followers), I hope that there will be an autopsy. The Breitbart death was highly suspicious to me: a possible assassination via cyanide-spray induced heart attack (the Soviets had perfected a small portable cyanide gun powered by CO2 cartridges, which shot a tiny, powerful & deadly watergun-like stream of liquid cyanide). The weapon was developed in the 1950s and was used by the KGB to carry out some 200 assassinations around the world by the time a KGB defector to the US disclosed the weapon's existence to the FBI in late 1963. When they debriefed the defector, he gave the one example of the weapon he had described. So, the FBI and CIa received a sample weapon to examine and test operate at that time (Sept. 1963, I think). There were also indications that that is how and why UN Ambassador Adlai Stevenson died on the streets of NYC just a few weeks after an annual physical that gave him a clean bill of health. That was revenge for embarrassing the Soviets in the UN (over the Cuban Missile Crisis). The stated effective range was 2 meters (80 inches), which when aimed at the target's chest would penetrate clothing and chest cavity and induce a lethal heart attack. Within 15 minutes there would be no traces of the substance on the victim's clothing, so as to defeat postmortem forensic analysis. Readers Digest had a major story about that whole business about 5 years afterwards, as I recall reading about it in that publication. But, at this point, I'm not exactly certain of the year I read about it. I think it was while I was in the Army on active duty (in the late 1960s). The story created quite a stir at the time. BTW, my last active duty post in the Army was for support of an overseas military intelligence operation.
