I like the Texas centered stories. I think they maintain a pretty good balance. I don’t call myself liberal or conservative. I think both sides are over the top on different things! Just like reading my Texas Monthly, I’m not interested in every story, but over all they do a lot of good work! I enjoy the program. Great to have the podcast when I’m out on the road.

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!

Texas is an amazing state with so many aspects of governance. We need this podcast to keep up and know where we want to dive.

Great inside into the daily Texas life and Topics for discussion on Current Events!

I love this podcast. It’s my secret weapon.

I’m looking for Texas news that is center and not always leaning to the left side of the political side.

They should call this program “The Leftist Standard,” as they seem to present only one side of any issue. Hardly surprising, given that it’s a production of KUT and Houston Public Media, but not representative of the outlook of most Texans.

This podcast is close to being good with the inevitable exception that it has a very annoying anti-Texan liberal slant. This stuff may play in Austin and Dallas but people elsewhere simply don’t agree with these viewpoints. Just deliver INFORMATION without the slant; how is this so difficult to do? They always go to their social media idiot who cherry picks liberal views and presents them as the voice of Texans. Stick to the facts, guys. These guys support claims of rampant white supremacy, court packing, repeal of gun rights, critical race theory and are pro abortion. Move to California and you guys will do much much better.

I must say that I do enjoy your podcast some days and other days I find it a bit frustrating . It is important to not just cover the stories that you find interesting or necessary, you need to cover stories that all Texans should be interested about. For example the border issue is very important as the new administration has definitely implemented different policies. I live in El Paso and border issues are of the upmost importance and yet I’ve found almost no one who will report truthfully about controversial things that happen at the border i.e. who gets in and how they get in. In a community with lots of border patrol and customs agents you find out that there are things going on at our border that need to be reported and don’t get the coverage. If you truly want to give Texas the news that’s important then you need to be honest about border issues.

The Texas Standard examines Texas news in depth and brings journalistic rigor to their reporting. It is my favorite news podcast for Texas news stories. They also include a few human interest features occasionally like The Typewriter Rodeo (short poems composed spontaneously) or stories about the accents and linguistic quirks of famous Texans. If you generally like other public radio news programs then you would likely enjoy this show. If your tastes run more towards opinionated cable news networks or Sinclair broadcast news shows with a strong conservative bias than it may not be your cup of tea.
