The Ragged Edge on the road — again! — with Rep. John Bucy

Our show this week is another on the road edition, this one recorded during a town hall for State Rep. John Bucy on the patio at Whitestone brewery in Cedar Park and hosted by the Hill Country News. I got to moderate the conversation. Every time we do one of these live programs, we learn something new … this time we learned that matter how hard I try, I just don’t have the resources to get a clean recording of an outdoor event amid all the traffic and wind and other extraneous noises … so, ou...

Ragged Edge on the road with Rep. James Talarico

We took our second-ever road trip to the Texas Beer Co. for an in depth conversation with Texas HD52 State Rep. James Talarico. We talked about the good, the bad and the ugly from the 87th meeting of the Texas Legislature, why redistricting is a bi-partisan issue and the importance of civics education in our public schools.

An interview remnant with Jon Stone

A few weeks ago, I had my cousin on the show to talk about Oran Roberts, the most important Texas you never heard of. As is often the case, especially where conversations with Jon are concerned, we talked about a lot of stuff that didn’t make it into the interview. Well, I saved that part of the interview for a special edition I’m calling “Remnants.” We talked about the civil war, politics today and … well, little known facts about the Louisiana Purchase. Also, Program Notes:Live event 7...

Denise Rogers: Crappy legislation and ways to be an ally to the LGBTQ+ community.

Our conversation this week is with Denise Rogers, a Central Texas LGBTQ+ activist, about the horrible legislation working through the Texas Legislature. We also discussed what you can do to support this community — even if all you know is that you dislike the way the way some people are treated — and the importance of representation in popular culture.

Eric Berger: Going to the moon is hard

For anyone who knows me, it’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of science fiction … as such, I listened to Gemini mission broadcasts on my transistor radio and glued to my television when Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon. Our family toured the Johnson Space Center in Houston whenever we got the chance. We held an early morning watch party for the first space shuttle launch — and watched as many other launches as I could.It seems that, over the last year or so, the tempo of our activitie...

David Thompson: How Black Lives Matter protests rocked a small city in North Carolina.

We’re coming up on the anniversary of the of the beginning of the Black Lives Matter protests and rallies which swept our nation last summer after the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. So, I called a friend of mine who works at a newspaper in Asheville NC. David Thompson helped to cover seven very intense days of rallies, protests and demonstrations. Asheville is not a big city, about the size of Temple, so the intensity of the rallies — and police pushback — was ...
