  • Great show!

    Thanks for doing the good work and keeping us informed on what’s going on in Texas!

    As a teacher, I really appreciate the coverage you guys had on South Lake a few months (years?) ago!

Two years ago, three more were elected, giving them a 6-1 super majority. There’s been quite a bit of coverage of some of their decisions (removing 13 chapters of... more

  • Ok for a democrat podcast

    Been listening occasionally for over a year now. You need to skip to about 5 min in unless you need a beer suggestion (they seem to prefer IPA’s). Then the two lefty reporters often discuss Texas related topics. with a progressive slant. Often have interviews with Texas related subject experts.

  • Interesting

    They do a good job at being fair and balanced politically while trying to get some answers about questions that really matter to Texans. I figured maybe I would just listen to a few episodes of interest but found myself coming back each week. And, that’s coming from a person who doesn’t like beer!
