The Texan Podcast

The Texan news podcast doesn’t exceptional job, providing Texans with the news and updates important to us, but still entertaining and fun. I love what my generation is doing to the mainstream media! Straight and unbiased facts don’t have to be boring!

Very glad to find The Texan. Detailed reporting without hyperbole, finger pointing or partisan antics. Good coverage for Harris County and Houston. Best to follow thetexan.news and subscribe so you can follow stories as they develop. Best value for my subscription dollar for sure. Thank you for your work.

After listening to several weeks of shows, I regretfully must excuse myself from listening. The podcasts on the surface appeared informative, but when some of the reporters speak off the cuff they are opining a theory without supplying facts but in a voice of authority. For example in the monthly roundup in speaking about healthcare they opine that our healthcare system is a quality care that provides on demand care albeit with a hefty bill. Emergency Rooms can and do deny care to non insured patients if they are not in crisis. But since the level of crisis is subjective allowing doctors and administrators to say an infection is not a crisis in a noninsured patient’s case. When the same patient goes to another ER and is admitted for emergency care and surgery. I don’t ask for perfection, but I do require a news source to follow the facts. I believe we have enough news sources that give opinions as facts. To stand apart The Texan needs to state facts and accept their personal opinions are not news or really important.

I have really enjoyed the Texan for their deep dives into complex policy issues. They cover news that is important to me as a Texan and a person who wants to be educated on issues and the Texas Leg. However, the promise is highly balanced coverage of both parties- and I feel that as we get closer to the presidential election, I can now tell exactly where the journalists sit by their commentary. I will continue to listen, but will understand there is a bias in some content.
