    S6 E5: Miss Texas America vs. Mayra Flores - Who Is The New America?

    Averie Bishop, 25, is the first Asian American to wear the Miss Texas America crown. She plans to use her new platform to promote diversity and inclusion. Mayra Flores, at around the same time, won a congressional seat to represent Texas's Rio Grande Valley. Ms. Flores, a 36-year-old Mexican-born American, is the first Republican Latina to represent Texas in Congress. Both are taking center stage at a time when Texas is experiencing dramatic demographic shifts. Which woman will be the new face of Texas - and, perhaps, of America? Will Ms. Bishop's quest to promote diversity and inclusion win the day? Or will Ms. Flores represent an influx of minority voters who head to the voting booths and vote Republican?

    S6 E3: Escape from Afghanistan - One Man's Story

    P-mo and his co-host from the Erased podcast, Dana Miller, have a conversation with Henry, an Afghan interpreter who was given U.S. Citizenship status for his services rendered to the American military during stretches of the 20-year Afghan War. Henry (a pseudonym) was able to leave the country for the United States, but his wife and children were left behind. The wife and children were able to get to the main airport in Kabul before the completion of the U.S. withdrawal and endured 6 days without food as they awaited escape. But they were turned away. Staying in Afghanistan under Taliban rule seemed inevitable. Then, someone in Austin, Texas stepped up and helped the family escape. Their story is told on this episode.
