  • A Dallas Love Letter - even with the highs and lows

    “Intersections” feels less like a podcast and more like being invited into the living room for conversations among people who helped shape Dallas into what it is today. Former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert and entrepreneur Kyle Waldrep bring decades of deep knowledge, relationships, and perspective to every episode, creating interviews that are exceptionally well researched yet completely natural and comfortable.

    The stories weave effortlessly between personal history, business, philanthropy, city ... more

  • Potential/ disappointing

    I love the idea of a podcast highlighting the amazing people of Dallas and our rough around the edges way of getting things done and doing business.

    I’m super disappointed in a podcast titled “Intersections” that reduces the conflicts in City Hall to one solution i.e. Mavs can stay downtown if… Dallas is not a one solution city. Solutions found at intersections are multi-layered, and in 2 episodes that I’ve listened to I’ve only heard one solution suggestions. It’s not an intersection if it’s ... more

  • Good Podcast

    Good podcast with influential and local Dallas individuals you can’t hear from elsewhere. Only negative - the hosts interrupt the guests too much. The Armstrong podcast had such great potential, but the hosts interrupted at a frequency that distracted from understanding the story and associated career / professional progression. Need to have Ray Washburn on again.

  • Disagree Better Listen Smarter!

    Refreshing, real and surprisingly nuanced. Intersection nails the multigenerational perspective and does not shy away from disagreement. Great guests, strong conversations. We need more of this nationally! Kudos Kyle and Tom.
