    Thank You Texas Monthly!
    I’m amused by all the posts about the liberal this & the Democrat that…. If you want conservative mosey over to Alex Jones and InfoWars. If you want intelligent content - you can count on TM! Or, remain obtuse.

    Don’t California My Texas
    There is nothing Texas about this podcast. It’s typical leftist screed. The great nation of Texas is one of the last bastions of true freedom and liberty in the world, and I shudder listening to the hosts of this podcast and their guests attempting to undermine it from the inside. We don’t need people fleeing from Democrat run states setting up shops and turning Texas into a lefty hellscape, and we don’t need lefties pretending that they hold opinions consistent with most Texans.

    The World is Changin’, boys
    As a transplanted Texan of 75 years, I was delighted to discover this podcast. It was hilarious to read the reviews by my fellow Texans who are socially and educationally locked in Texas of the 1950s. It wasn’t all that great then, guys, and it sure ain’t gonna stay like you wish it...oh, btw, the South won’t rise again, either. Texas is outgrowing y’all.

    So disappointing!
    I believe in freedom of speech, but as a staunch Conservative, this podcast sickened my stomach. It is super left wing as I have deleted the first few podcasts after less than a minute of play each. I have never understood the logic of the left wing Democrat Party and gave up trying to a long time ago. The last straw was the propaganda message from the interview with Paul Bogola (sp?) on why the Dems are going to carry Texas in this next election. Sickening & untrue. If Dems ever win, you can count on losing your personal freedoms in a very short period of time. You think the mass exodus from California is bad!!!?

    What to expect...
    The National Podcast of Austin Texas.
  • Saint Beers
    Ep #123
    What a load of dishonest, leftist trash.
  • RoadsScholar
    Ep 76
    If fuzzy math serves well, Willie is 86, the same year Redheaded Stranger was released, so there’s synchronicity to the restoration of the film. It was a treat to hear another interview with Willie, whose music has been a mainstay the entirety of my 49 years. He is a son and statesman of Texas in the most profound of senses. If someone were to ask, “What does Texas truly sound like?” My answer would have to be, “Go listen to Willie Nelson play the bridges from Townes Van Zandt’s ‘Pancho and Lefty’ and his own ‘Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground.’”

    Ruined by politics
    Lots of potential. Tried to listen to four episodes. Only one, with Nolan Ryan, did not contain some type of politically Left leaning bias and loaded words. I just wanted to hear interesting things about Texas, not listen to Liberal propaganda.

    Andy gets it right.
    If you’d like to keep up with what’s going on around Texas via podcast, this is for you. Everything you need, nothing you don’t.
