Austin drivers have lots of reasons to despise our local toll road authority, TxTag, and the investigative team at KXAN knows all about it. Recently, reporters revealed that even after the dysfunctional authority admitted how bad it was and transferred authority to another agency, the problems continued. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by reporter Matt Grant, who found that more than half of TxTag's accounts were not transferred to the new authority. Grant also shares the potential changes that state lawmakers could make while in session, plus, hear how host Nikki DaVaughn would charge for driving on toll roads if she ran a tolling authority.   Learn more about the sponsors of this March 11th episode: Rodeo Austin Flyaustin Port Aransas Want some more Austin news?

New Mexicans aren't alone in experiencing more extreme weather events lately. Meanwhile, those responsible for reporting accurate information during a life-threatening disaster are also facing more extreme examples of weather misinformation, or weather 'skeptics.' This week we clear the fog on some common misconceptions and discuss emerging topics like 'cloud seeding,' climate science, and what it takes to give an accurate weather forecast each day. KRQE Chief Meteorologist Grant Tosterud, and KRQE alumni and Meteorologist, Kristen Currie from KXAN in Austin, Texas, each join Chris and Gabby to discuss how they navigate the storm of forecasting the weather while facing a new torrent of weather misinformation online.  We appreciate our listeners. Send your feedback or story ideas to hosts chris.mckee@krqe.com or gabrielle.burkhart@krqe.com. We're also on X (Twitter), Facebook, & Instagram at @ChrisMcKeeTV and @gburkNM.

Texas is a battleground in the race for the state's senate seat — held by Sen. Ted Cruz for more than a decade through scandals, bad press, and a seemingly growing number of haters. But his last challenger lost by only 219,000 votes, and millions of new Texans could cast ballots this year. How will challenger Colin Allred, a Democratic congressman, fare against Cruz? Following a debate between the two, host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Ryan Chandler, who covers politics for KXAN, to break down the race.  We'd like to thank Tecovas, who makes our favorite Western wear in town, for being our exclusive launch sponsor.  Want some more Austin news?

In the span of three months in 1976, three young East Austin women vanished. With seemingly no clues left behind, the Austin Police were baffled, however, it's unclear if they were investigating the first two cases from the get-go, those of Brenda Jean Moore and Jennifer Joyce Barton. They certainly were not utilizing the media – a vital tool in any missing persons case; it took a year for Jennifer to get a highly sensationalized article about her disappearance and Brenda never once made the newspaper. Police went to the media for Debra Kay Stewart's missing person's case about a week after she disappeared, perhaps too late to be effective.If you have any information about the disappearances of Brenda Jean Moore, Jennifer Joyce Barton, or Debra Kay Stewart, please contact the Texas Department of Public Safety's Missing Persons Clearinghouse at (800) 346-3243 or the Austin Police Department at (512) 974-5250.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

John Dromgoole wears a lot of hats. Sun hats mostly, but also figurative ones: founder of the Natural Gardener, former host of the long-running garden call-in radio show Gardening Naturally on Newsradio KLBJ, regular TV presenter on PBS' Central Texas Gardener and KXAN's The Weekend Gardener; the list goes on. On this episode, your hosts (both former employees of the Natural Gardener), sit down with John to hear his story, from his early adventures in Laredo (exporting bell bottoms into Mexico and booking one of ZZ Top's first shows) to his long career in Austin as a media personality and nurseryman. An early proponent of organic gardening, John discusses butting heads with conventional horticulturists, proving his point with demonstration gardens, and learning from his mentor, Malcolm Beck. We chat about designing with native plants, “the art of watering,” and the influence of the Natural Gardener as a training ground for countless plant people in Austin.  Email us! info@horticulturati.com

It's Friday, January 5th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Ugandan Muslims kill grandmother, 2 grandkids on Christmas On Christmas Day, Islamic extremists in western Uganda killed a 75-year-old woman and her two grandchildren, reports Morning Star News. The bodies of Edrine Ngwabize and her two grandchildren, 5-year-old Emoni and 13-year-old Mathias, were found inside their home in the Kamwenge District after the Muslims broke in. Edrine's son, Wilson said, “The attackers were shouting the Muslim slogan, ‘Allah Akbar' [God is greater] and saying, ‘We have to teach these infidels a lesson during this Christmas celebration.'” He saw the assailants first set ablaze the farm of a church pastor that is 500 meters from his mother's home at about 7:00 p.m. He rushed to warn his mother and the two children, one of them his own, to take cover. Then he returned to hide his wife, who was ill, in a safe place. He said, “On coming back to pick up my mother and the children, I found the Muslim terrorists were already at my mother's house, and there was a loud bang [from gunshot] … which was so frightening.” He rushed to a nearby police station, and officers shot dead the leader of the assailants, Musa Kamusi, as he was fleeing near the house. The assailants also slaughtered five goats and took some food from the home of the deceased. While Muslims make up no more than 12 percent of Uganda's population, they live in high concentrations in the East. The biggest names from Jeffrey Epstein's unsealed court documents The names of acquaintances and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy man who sexually trafficked minors, were released on Wednesday evening in a set of court documents that were part of a suit against Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015, reports Time Magazine. The documents, the first in more than 200 that are expected to be unsealed over the next week, are part of the defamation lawsuit filed by victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Names of figures that were previously associated with Epstein, such as Prince Andrew and former presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, were mentioned in the court documents.  New names include the late Marvin Minsky, a former MIT professor, Hedge billionaire fund manager Glenn Dubin, Leslie Wexner, the billionaire founder of Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works, the late New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, and Alan Dershowitz, Epstein's former attorney. Connections to Epstein previously led high-level executives to resign from their positions, like Barclays chief executive Jes Staley. In addition, Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent suspected of scouting girls for Epstein, killed himself in a Paris jail in 2022 while awaiting trial for rape accusations. Tucker Carlson interviewed Mark Epstein, Jeffrey's brother, which you can watch through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Mark asserts that his brother did not commit suicide, but was murdered by the U.S. government. Texas Board of Ed. protects children from sexually explicit books On December 13th, the Texas State Board of Education voted to approve new guidelines to reassert parental rights and prohibit “harmful” books in school libraries, reports LifeSiteNews.com. They voted 13-1 in favor of a new set of guidelines to ensure school children are protected from offensive content. The move comes after Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott earlier this year signed into law a new bill, authored by Plano Republican Rep. Jared Patterson, requiring book sellers to rate books for appropriateness, reports KXAN. The seduction and damage of sexually explicit content is comparable to the Proverbs 7:21-23 description of the adulteress who seduces a man.  It says, “With persuasive words, she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk. All at once, he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.” The Texas set of guidelines further calls on Lone Star State schools to “recognize that obscene content is not protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.” Republican State Rep. Brian Harrison argued that the American Library Association “works against parents by fighting to keep pornographic materials in public libraries under the guise of opposing ‘censorship.'”  Pastor slams “Americanized lukewarm church-going Christianity” And finally, at a time when it's increasingly unpopular to believe that salvation is only attained through faith in Jesus Christ, Jonathan Pokluda slammed “Americanized lukewarm church-going Christianity” and stressed that lasting truth and life is found in “no other thing or no other person than Jesus Christ,” reports the Christian Post. In a message delivered to thousands of young people gathered in Atlanta, Georgia, for Passion 2024, Pokluda cited statistics from USA Today revealing that 70% of all major Christian and non-Christian religious groups say many religions can lead to eternal life. He said, “And we might reject this in belief; maybe you hear that, [you think], ‘No, that's not true.' But we accept it in practice because we're not bothered by someone not believing in Jesus. We sleep fine. We ride elevators and walk through hallways with people who are going to Hell, and we're OK. It doesn't seem like we believe that Jesus Christ is the only way. … If you're here and you're a believer, I want to teach you how to address things like, ‘All religions lead to God,' or ‘I'm glad that's your truth.' Or, ‘I'll live my life and get right with God later before I die; I'll figure out the Jesus thing.'” Pokluda, pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas and author of Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do?: Replace Deadly Vices with Life-Giving Virtues, tackled the idea of truth, emphasizing that Jesus is not just historically true, but the embodiment of Truth itself. He stressed the importance of recognizing absolute truths, regardless of personal beliefs or feelings. In John 14:6, Pokluda noted that “Jesus says, ‘I'm the way to God. There's no other way to God; I'm the only way to God.' And you probably have heard, ‘Well wait, I think there are many ways to God,' or ‘All religions will lead to God,' or ‘Don't all religions actually teach the same thing?' “That's a statement of ignorance. The person who says that all religions teach the same thing has never studied other religions.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Friday, January 5th in the year of our Lord 2024.
