  • West Texas Cowboy

    I’ve known Kent Hance since 1964 when we were at Texas Tech together and we’ve remained friends oh these many years! He’s a genuinely unique man and his sense of humor is just as genuine. I listen to every one of his stories and look forward to hearing his “saying of the day”!

  • Like hugging a rose bush

    I listened to a few episodes because it was billed as storytelling you could enjoy with your kids. All I heard was conservative false narratives and right wing indoctrination. A great podcast if you refuse to consider there might be another side to the story.

You could have at least mentioned the avalanche of bovine scat that emanated from his mouth? Lie after lie and where was it reported on Fox News of the right choice. Trump’s ramblings are just as... more

  • Phenomenal Podcast

    Congressman/Commissioner/Senator/Chancellor: You have the most educational, entertaining and phenomenal podcast. As a member of the Tx Legislature who lives 4+ hours from Austin, my Wife and I listen to your podcast from Woodville and to Austin. Even our Dog Shady likes the podcast and doesn’t complain about wanting to go to the restroom. I have an observation. Why does it seem that when a member of the Texas House retires from the Legislature his/her title doesn’t follow him. But when someone m... more
