  • No connection to Texas

    I love the vibe of this podcast. The information has almost no bearing on my life. I’m from North Florida and live in NY. Just love to listen.

  • Informative, leveled information

    Factual, informational podcast with reliable, well-sourced news about Texas. Some of the reviews claiming this is leftist are laughable - spoiler alert, it’s not full of lies and clickbait, which I appreciate.

  • Unabashed Leftist Ideology/Propaganda

    OMG! Where to begin? About 30 minutes in it was actually comical the rate at which the relentless leftist talking points and Liberal Democrat Propaganda continued with relentless intensity and no sign of abating. This podcast exemplifies everything Radical Liberals stand for and offers compelling evidence that liberalism really is a mental illness. Too funny!

Texas Extra: City manager remains optimistic in the face of Corpus Christi’s water crisis
Q: When did the alarm bell start ringing in your office?
The official notes that while industry has grown, the city faced a lack of direction and commitment over many years, leading to a slow push toward diversified water sources.
‘Western Star’ explores Larry McMurtry’s legacy and Texas storytelling
Q: Why has Larry McMurtry's work, especially Lonesome Dove, gained renewed attention recently?
There are multiple reasons, including its evocation of Texas history, its exploration of present questions about male friendship and dreams, and its status as a quintessential Texas novel that continues to attract readers both inside and outside Texas.
Lawsuit challenges Texas crackdown on hemp-derived products
Q: I suppose we should begin with this lawsuit. What does it allege and who's suing who?
The suit is brought by hemp businesses and industry groups, including the Texas Hemp Business Council, against state health agencies and the attorney general, arguing regulators overstepped the law and rewrote hemp definitions to crack down on THC products more broadly.
Corpus Christi official says the city will never run out of water
Q: Do you really believe Corpus Christi will never run out of water? You have enough water to meet demand for the foreseeable future?
The city manager explained that while local western reservoirs are stressed, the supply is diversified with water from East Texas sources and ongoing desalination and groundwater projects that, if maintained, should meet demand and avoid an immediate emergency.
Corpus Christi water crisis collides with mayor recall effort
Q: What is the latest on the Corpus Christi water crisis and desalination efforts?
The city faces a sustained drought with reservoirs at single digits; desalination plans, groundwater development, and state intervention are being pursued to avert a water emergency within months, though there are questions about timelines and feasibility.
