  • 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!
