Podcasts about Texas Public Radio

Texas Public Radio spent more than a year analyzing more than 1,200 deaths from abuse and neglect between 2018 and 2023. The project, funded by the Pulitzer Center, brings stories of children who died when the state of Texas failed to intervene. TPR Accountability reporter Paul Flahive uncovered a child welfare system so intent on reducing its contact with troubled families that children have routinely been left with violent, unstable, drug-abusing parents.

Hundreds of children die in Texas each year from abuse and neglect. The state has employed several policies and laws intended to reduce the number of kids entering the system — at times with deadly results. But rather than fix the problem to keep children safe, the state is changing the guidelines. A Texas Public Radio special investigation shines a light on preventable deaths of children in Texas.

Episode Summary:Like a dog returning to her vomit, America chose the sexual predator, white nationalist, pathological liar, and criminal instead of an educated, compassionate Black woman to lead this nation into our collective future. This feels more sinister than 2016 because Trump and his henchmen now have a plan in Project 2025 and I promise you, people are going to suffer.How do we sit with suffering and respond with compassion? How do we continue to seek justice without demonizing the Christians who willfully voted for this madness? How do we implement a politic of compassion in an era of cruelty?Bekah McNeel joins me today on Holy Heretics to reset this new normal, to offer a way forward through the solidarity of suffering.In her career as a journalist, Bekah has encountered a lot of suffering. After all, the most polarizing topics in US politics all revolve around suffering (gun violence, immigration, Covid-19, sexual violence, and white supremacy). She's sat with migrants seeking asylum. She's stood outside the school in Uvalde, Texas weeping with parents. She's been to Detroit and shared space with Iraqi immigrants. As she says in this conversation, “I have zero tolerance for political justifications for suffering.”Bekah's ability to break down complex political and ethical arguments through the lens of compassion is a starting point for those of us who refuse to give up the fight for justice.In this timely conversation, we discuss the following:How for-profit journalism failed the American peopleThe media's role in electing TrumpThe power of compassion and the limits to our compassionHow to respond to disinformation with questions and compassionHow to distinguish between political and ethical issuesHow to cultivate healthy relationships with friends and family with whom we vehemently disagree withThe issues behind the issues that turn political disagreements into personal attacks, i.e. the conversations about politics with your parentsBio:Bekah Stolhandske McNeel is a native of San Antonio, Texas, where she works as a journalist.

In this very special episode of bigcitysmalltown, we share a panel recorded live in front of an audience at Texas Public Radio for CityFest San Antonio 2024.  Host Bob Rivard moderated a panel of city leaders discussing how San Antonio's downtown has navigated the past decade and what's ahead.

At the DNC last week, the Warriors coach and former Bulls star Steve Kerr spoke of his excitement at his return to Chicago's United Center, the home of some his greatest basketball triumphs. According to the Columbia University historian Frank Andre Guridy, there's nothing coincidental about this convergence of American politics and sports. In his intriguing new book, THE STADIUM, Guridy reimagines America through the history of sports stadiums like Candlestick Park & Madison Square Gardens. It's a story of politics, protest and play in which these sports stadiums act as mirrors and prisms to all the most troubling and hopeful aspects of American history.Frank A. Guridy is Professor of History and African American and African Diaspora Studies and the Executive Director of the Eric H. Holder Initiative for Civil and Political Rights at Columbia University. He is an award-winning historian whose recent research has focused on sport history, urban history, and the history of American social movements. His latest book, The Sports Revolution: How Texas Changed the Culture of American Athletics (University of Texas Press, 2021) explored how Texas-based sports entrepreneurs and athletes from marginalized backgrounds transformed American sporting culture during the 1960s and 1970s, the highpoint of the Black Freedom and Second-Wave feminist movements. Guridy is also a leading scholar of the Black Freedom Movement in the United States and in other parts of the African Diaspora. His first book, Forging Diaspora: Afro-Cubans and African Americans in a World of Empire and Jim Crow (University of North Carolina Press, 2010), won the Elsa Goveia Book Prize from the Association of Caribbean Historians and the Wesley-Logan Book Prize, conferred by the American Historical Association. He is also the co-editor of Beyond el Barrio: Everyday Life in Latino/a America (NYU Press, 2010), with Gina Pérez and Adrian Burgos, Jr. His articles have appeared in Kalfou, Radical History Review, Caribbean Studies, Social Text, and Cuban Studies.

Brett Cross is a small-town kid who grew up in Western Texas, among the oil fields, near Odessa. He worked in the oil fields, worked his way up to doing pipeline work, eventually moving to green energy work. He even became a foreman, working hard to provide for his family. And Brett was at work when he got the call from his wife Nikki that changed their lives forever. It was May 24, 2022, Nikki was at their sons' school, Robb Elementary, in Uvalde, Texas. “This is not a fucking joke,” she said, “there's a shooter at the boys' school.” We talk to Brett about his life before, about living in a small town, working and making your own fun, we talk about some of the family memories he cherishes most. We remember Brett and Nikki's son Uziyah “Uzi” Garcia, we talk about the day Uzi was taken from them, along with 18 of his classmates and two of his teachers, and we talk about the unimaginable fight for justice and real change that Brett and Nikki have been fighting ever since.Studio Production: Maximillian AlvarezPost-Production: Jules TaylorCW: This episode discusses school shootings and the murdering of children.

Join us for part two of this two-part series, where we continue our journey as we sit down with esteemed scholars William Sandy Darity and A Kirsten Mullen, the architects of the Black Reparations Project Handbook. Our conversation is a deep and transformative look into the heart of reparations for Black Americans, a topic that unravels the fabric of our nation's history. We traverse the could-have-been world of 40 acres land grants, dissect the insufficiencies of piecemeal local and state attempts at reparations, and scrutinize the controversial HR 40 legislation. It's a dialogue that promises to challenge your perceptions, offering a nuanced perspective on the moral imperative to right the wrongs of the past and the potential to heal a nation through a comprehensive federal reparations program.In a twist that reveals the power behind the scenes, we pull back the curtain on how media shapes our understanding and collective narrative about reparations. From the intricacies of determining who is eligible to receive reparations to the crucial role Hollywood plays in influencing public opinion, our discussion with Darity and Mullen is a masterclass in the interplay of media, identity, and history. We look at how representations of diverse relationships and social issues in the media can lead to widespread acceptance and change, pondering the possibility for this to pave the way for reparations discourse.Finally, we reflect on the burgeoning support for reparations among different demographics and discuss the critical support HBCUs need, and deserve, as pillars of education and progress. We talk about closing the racial wealth gap, the tax implications of reparations payments, and the need for unity in the face of a fragmented support system. As we set the stage for future dialogues and action, we close with a heartfelt call to listeners, inviting them to join in the global fight for reparations—a fight rooted in justice, solidarity, and the unyielding belief that together, we can forge a path toward rectifying historical injustices.Support the show

In part one of a two-part episode, we embark on a journey through America's history of racial injustice; we welcomed scholars William Darity and A. Kirsten Mullen to discuss the imperative of Black reparations. Under the weight of the past and the shadow of Confederate monuments, our conversation meanders through the Sugar Land Massacre, the broken promise of 40 acres post-Civil War, and the haunting tale of Hortense MacLinton, UNC Chapel Hill's pioneering Black professor. The dialogue deepens as we confront the federal government's responsibility to address this historical debt and the moral obligation that compels our nation to act.The concept of wealth and its origins take center stage, revealing the stark disparity between white communities and Black Americans in their generational accumulation of prosperity. We dissect the role of historical land grants and policies such as the Homestead Act of 1862 in shaping today's racial wealth gap. Our guests, Darity and Mullen, navigate us through the complexities of federal reparations, emphasizing the inadequacy of local initiatives and underscoring the need for a national strategy to meet the $16 trillion endeavor necessary to forge equality.In our final segment, we scrutinize the autonomy and precedent set by direct payments in historical restitution cases, holding up the lens to America's capability and collective will to enact reparations. The discourse, rich with historical context and fueled by passion for justice, leaves us at the precipice of action, with a community-powered Q&A that challenges our collective understanding and calls us to engage further. This episode not only reflects on the past but also ignites the crucial conversation about what we owe each other as a society moving forward.Support the show

For San Antonio student Javier Hernandez, the difference between fulfilling his dream of attending a four-year university hundreds of miles from home and opting for a lower-cost local community college was an unexpected bill for a family funeral. In her five-part series “The Enduring Gap,” Texas Public Radio's Camille Phillips explored which support systems and services make the biggest difference for Latinx and other students who face barriers to educational success.

How did San Antonio's long-standing racial and economic disparities put Latino students at greater risk of missing out on college amid the COVID-19 pandemic? Plus, Phillips shares story ideas for other reporters covering Latino/Latina students and college access and completion issues more broadly.
