  • Let’s Get Down to it

    At first I enjoyed the Beer Banter, but now there are real and dangerous political issues to talk about in Texas and on the Federal level. Ditch the Beer talk and “let’s get down to it”.

  • Broad Coverage, Narrow Journalism

    What’s nice about this podcast is that the coverage is very broad. Politically, geographically (within Texas, of course) and demographically they provide a great overview of current political affairs in the Lone Star State. The journalism, however, is very narrow. What the guests have to say is taken at face value and post interview analysis is often just providing high-level context. It would be nice to see more value add from the journalists involved in creating this show. For example, a recen... more

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.
