Podcasts about lone star state

Texas is an oddity in the western electricity world: fastest growing load, ultra-low prices, crazy development of renewables. Texas consumes now more power than France, despite having only half the population. Prices are a factor 4 lower compared to 20 years ago. And 90% of additional load has been provided by Wind and Solar, despite the permanent attacks from the fossil fuel lobby.To make sense of the current situation in Texas, and also talk about the future, with unbelievable projections, full of AI and Datacentres, we have the pleasure of welcoming Arusha Sharma Frank.Arushi Sharma Frank is an energy policy expert with deep expertise in distributed energy resources (DERs) and virtual power plants (VPPs). She pioneered ERCOT frameworks for grid-integrated VPPs and the integration of batteries on the Grid, while at Tesla where she worked between 2020 and 2024. Arushi was a key architect of the Texas Public Utility Commission's Aggregated DER pilot, enhancing grid resilience post-Winter Storm Uri.  The Lone Star State is at the crossroads: will the additional load arrive? Are the renewables in danger? Can fossil fuels make a come-back, or are we seeing this wrongly, as the new model suggest that it is all about flexibility.Finally, the best source for information on renewable energy in Texas is Doug Lewin: www.douglewin.com

Former Texas Governor and U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry stops by to talk about two things most folks wouldn't expect in the same sentence—AI data farms and psychedelic therapy. Perry breaks down why the Lone Star State is set to become a digital powerhouse for AI server farms and what that means for energy, jobs, and infrastructure. Then the conversation turns to ibogaine—a little-known psychedelic that holds big promise for veterans and first responders battling PTSD and addiction. Texas just approved $50 million to study it, and Perry explains why. Shout out to our great sponsors ZipRecruiter.com/Rowe to post a job for FREE.

Progressives across Texas are taking note of the recent return of former Tarrant County Democratic Party Chair Allison Campolo to that important post. As the political tides turn across the nation, a flip in Tarrant County would likely be a harbinger of even more widespread and long-overdue change across the Lone Star State, so having an experienced progressive fighter (and actual Kung Fu champion) in this key position is welcome news indeed. Progress Texas board member and longtime Fort Worth politico Jason Smith joins us for a fun and important discussion.Learn more about Allison Campolo and the Tarrant County Democratic Party at https://tarrantdemocrats.org/.

A former Trump Justice Department lawyer files a whistleblower complaint detailing the administration's efforts to defy court orders. MAGA's rift over Jeffrey Epstein deepens as Tucker Carlson, Andrew Schulz, and Candace Owens join the revolt. Jon and MSNBC's Alex Wagner break down all the latest, including the administration's absurd new investigation into former FBI Director James Comey, Kristi Noem's struggle to balance her job with posting on Instagram, and Twitter's self-proclaimed "MechaHitler" AI—and the prompt resignation of its CEO. Then Ana Ramon, Executive Director of the Texas Leadership Pipeline, joins to share her hopes for the future of the Lone Star State and why running for office—even in deep-red communities—isn't as scary as it seems. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

This Independence Day, Breaking Battlegrounds celebrates American liberty with a powerful lineup of guests. We kick off the show with Alex Swoyer, legal affairs reporter for The Washington Times, to discuss her new book Lawless Lawfare, which exposes how the justice system has been weaponized to target Donald Trump and his supporters. Then, ASU Professor Donald Critchlow takes us back to the roots of our founding principles—unpacking the meaning behind “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” the truth behind Yankee Doodle, and how the American Revolution stood apart from the rest. We close with Jason Chaffetz, whose new book They're Coming for You warns how powerful institutions are quietly building systems of control that threaten our freedoms.

In a major move, haircare giant John Paul Mitchell Systems is relocating its global headquarters from California to Dallas, Texas!

Today on America in the Morning Israel-Iran Ceasefire President Trump announced a ceasefire between what he called the 12-Day War between Israel and Iran.  However, as John Stolnis reports from Washington, Iran carried out a missile attack on the US base in Qatar before the announced ceasefire, air raid sirens wailed in Israel after the announcement, and Iran says they will only stop if Israel ends the fighting.   Nation's Heatwave The first major heatwave of summer is baking the Midwest and East Coast of the US, with major cities including New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington DC seeing 100 degree temperatures, and a total of 28 states contend with a heatwave. SCOTUS OK's Trump Deportation Plan The Supreme Court on Monday granted the Trump administration's request to suspend a lower court injunction blocking them from deporting individuals to third countries without prior notice.  Correspondent Haya Panjwani reports it's a big win for President Trump to quickly enforce its immigration policies.    Nuclear New York They haven't built a nuclear power plant in New York in a generation.  Correspondent Julie Walker reports the Empire State's governor wants to build a nuclear facility that could power one million homes.   Primary Day In NYC More than a dozen Democrat candidates are on the ballot to become the next mayor of New York City, with the primary today and a ranked-choice voting system along voters to rank up to 5 candidates.    Fixing Florida's Condo Crisis With increased assessments and ballooning fees, Florida has been facing a condo crisis for the past two years.  However, as correspondent Lisa Dwyer reports, a new bill signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis will give condo associations more flexibility, and condo owners more time to deal with costly repair bills.      Latest In The Middle East President Trump announced that Israel and Iran have agreed to a phased-in ceasefire, which came within hours of an Iranian missile salvo against a US base in Qatar, an attack that happened after Qatar's government was notified of in advance by Iran, and thwarted by missile defense systems.  Correspondent Haya Panjwani reports . Iran's Missile Attack On Qatar The Israel-Iran ceasefire comes after Iran fired six to 10 short-range missiles at a US base in Qatar, the same number of missiles equal to the number of bunker-busting bombs dropped by US forces against Iranian nuclear facilities.  Ed Donahue reports on the initial reaction to the missiles fired at Qatar, and reaction by Democrats who believe the president should have sought congressional support for the use of military force against Iran.   IAEA's Response To US Attack On Iran In the aftermath of the American military action against Iran, the International Atomic Energy Agency says U.S. strikes on a major Iran nuclear plant were highly effective.  Correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports the European Union, which continues to deal with the situation in Ukraine, have a vested interest in the latest developments in the Middle East and Iran.   Abbott Vetoes Texas THC Ban A veto by the Governor of Texas is sparking further debate over T-H-C in the Lone Star State.  Correspondent Clayton Neville reports.   Fixing Health Claims A new day appears on the horizon in navigating the tricky and often confusing process of filing health insurance claims for millions of Americans.  Correspondent Bob Brown has details.   Abortions Increase Even though more states tightened abortion restrictions, a new report shows the number of abortions has increased.  Lisa Dwyer reports.   Finally   More is being learned about the man who attempted to open fire at a church service in Michigan over the weekend.  Correspondent Julie Walker reports the man, who was stopped by church parishioners, was the troubled son of a woman who attended services in the town of Wayne.

A Texas-Sized Treasure Hunt  After KC Wright and his mother were big winners on Wheel of Fortune in November 2023, they wanted to do something fun with the money. Seek Texas is a new, immersive scavenger hunt spanning the Lone Star State, inviting locals and travelers nationwide to explore hidden gems, solve creative clues, and win real prizes. The project is gaining attention thanks in part to the recent Forest Fenn documentary, which reignited public fascination with treasure hunting. Seek Texas channels that same spirit, but in a much safer, family-friendly, and collaborative way --- no digging or danger, just discovery.Through the platform at www.SeekTexas.com, participants receive creative clues that guide them to local landmarks, off-the-beaten-path destinations, historical sites, and quirky roadside attractions. Along the way, they'll solve puzzles, engage with Texas culture, and earn entries to win a grand prize worth thousands of dollars.Unlike the Forest Fenn hunt, Seek Texas is designed to be accessible to all, encouraging collaboration among participants and it does not require physical digging. It's a tech-enabled journey that blends the thrill of the unknown with the safety and inclusivity of a modern-day adventure game.The scavenger hunt will run through the summer of 2025, with new locations and clues dropping each month. Families, friend groups, road-trippers, and solo explorers are all invited to take part.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In parts of Texas, a kolache is about as common as a donut — but it's relatively unknown outside the Lone Star State. The kolache is a traditional Czech pastry made with a sweetened, yeasty dough and filled with either fruit, cheese or sausage. It got a foothold in Texas after a wave of Czech immigrants came to the state more than a century ago. This week, Alexa Lim, a producer on The Atlas Obscura Podcast, explores the Kolache Triangle, an area between San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas where you'll find some of the oldest and most popular kolache bakeries. Then, Dan heads to Brooklyn to meet a husband and wife duo who are bringing kolaches to the Big Apple with their bakery, Kings Kolache. And Dan brings along the most hardcore Texan he knows, to find out how these kolaches rank with the ones from back home.If you want to try some traditional Czech style kolaches, check out Helli's Goodies — they ship anywhere in the US!The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Kameel Stanley, Jared O'Connell, and Giulia Leo.

On his tour of the Middle East, Trump lavishes praise on dictators—as they deposit bribes in his pocket. Republicans, in between defending Trump's jet grift, finalize more details of their "big beautiful bill," which, in addition to gutting Medicaid, now aims to cut food assistance, funding for Planned Parenthood, and Biden's clean energy tax credits. The Supreme Court hears arguments on two important, intertwined questions: whether Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship is constitutional (it's not), and whether federal judges below the Supreme Court can issue nationwide injunctions. Jon and Dan react to the Solicitor General's clueless argument before the justices and new polling on Trump's "inoculation" against corruption attacks, and offer Democrats some advice on how to talk about the GOP's tax cuts. Then Jon sits down with long-time friend of the pod Beto O'Rourke to talk about Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Beto's future in the Lone Star State. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
