Why are so many people moving farther out from Dallas and Fort Worth, and why are some homeowners already ready to move back? In this episode, we're talking about the edges of the DFW Metroplex: communities where buyers may find newer homes, bigger lots, more house for their money, and a little less traffic. But living farther out comes with trade-offs, too, including longer drives, fewer conveniences, developing infrastructure, and sometimes a surprisingly competitive price tag. We get into places like Anna, Celina, Prosper, Princeton, Little Elm, Forney, Weatherford, Aledo, and more, and talk about what's drawing buyers outward and what's causing some homeowners to “boomerang” back toward the center of DFW. If you're considering a move in DFW, the real question isn't simply city or suburbs? It's which community actually fits your lifestyle, family, commute, and budget? Thinking about buying, selling, or relocating to DFW?

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Prof. Albert Cheng of Ohio State University and Walter Blanks, Policy and Advocacy Director of EdChoice speak with Carole Boston Weatherford, a New York Times best-selling author of more than 80 children's books and a leading voice in African American children's literature.

Weatherford also discusses her latest book, Black Hands: Builders of Our Nation, which highlights the many contributions of African Americans throughout U.S. history, from the Middle Passage and Black Civil War regiments to HBCUs and the Civil Rights Movement. She explores the Harlem Renaissance and Black literary excellence while discussing how storytelling can help young people understand the people, struggles, and achievements that have shaped America. In closing, she reads a passage from her recent book, Black Hands: Builders of Our Nation.
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit jimhightower.substack.comIn 1982, the Dallas Morning News editorial page had a name for a guy who wanted to bring back farmers markets in Texas: socialist.Not Medicare for All. Not a wealth tax. Farmers markets. The kind with watermelons and a guy selling tomatoes off a folding table.Hightower ran for Texas Agriculture Commissioner with the idea as a key part of his platform anyway. He won. And in his first year in office, he and a staff of six built a hundred of them across the state.Forty-some years later, Democratic strategists are still having the same panic attack about socialism. Turns out the “radical” thing was never the label itself; it was whether the guy delivered on campaign promises.Here, Hightower tells the story himself: the watermelon stand outside Weatherford that started it all, how Hightower's staff created the market access for the farmers, and the line he used to shut the haters up for good — “the word ‘free' in ‘free enterprise' is not an adjective. It is a verb.”

Hope Weatherford, VP of Talent Acquisition at Camunda, is doing what most TA leaders are still evaluating: building. In this episode, she sits down with Matt Staney to unpack how she vibe-coded her own interview question generator and JD tool with zero engineering background, why "change leadership is the job now," and how Camunda's process orchestration mindset is reshaping how her team hires. We get into over-engineering vs. first principles, the deepfake and fake-candidate problem, and the near-future where AI agents are extensions of us; applying for jobs, splitting revenue, and forcing a rethink of what "capability" even means. If you're a TA leader wondering where to start, Hope's answer is simple: just do it.

Dr. James "JT" Taylor — teacher, pastor, adoptive dad of six, and Oklahoma's Republican runoff candidate for State Superintendent of Education — pulls up a chair with Hoang for one of our most unfiltered episodes yet. From calling every parent on day one of school to being drafted into a statewide race by a friend from Weatherford and three unmistakable signs from God, JT walks us through the defining moment that took him from Little Axe High School to the ballot. We get into classroom management, why the first day of school decides the whole year, empowering parents and teachers, the debt clock he shows his students, his book Biblical, Not Political, and the stark contrast with his opponent heading into the August 25th runoff. Faith. Family. Freedom. And a whole lot of common sense for Oklahoma education.

On this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa is joined by a true “Great Gentleman in Compliance,” Billy Jacobson. Billy has been a leader in Ethics and Compliance for many years, as a prosecutor, a former DOJ Fraud Section leader, Chief Compliance Officer at Weatherford, and at private law firms, now as a co-founder of Jacobson Lopez, a boutique law firm helping clients navigate ABAC, anti-money laundering, fraud, investigations, and compliance. Lisa and Billy discuss what he has learned from these varied roles and apply this to how compliance professionals should navigate today's evolving enforcement environment. He also shares his reasoning as to why organizations should remain committed to strong programs regardless of enforcement trends and the challenges of maintaining resources in a changing business climate. Billy is an expert in the internal investigation space and shares his view on how AI and technology are reshaping internal investigations, why human judgment remains essential, and the importance of balancing efficiency with relationship-building across an organization. This episode is not only helpful in thinking about your programs and the current global enforcement environment, but also a reminder that you never know when you meet people—Lisa met Billy in student government in her first semester of college, and they are now talking about ethics & compliance years later.

On a lonely bridge outside Weatherford, Oklahoma, locals say you can still hear the sound of a horse-drawn buggy crossing in the dead of night. They speak of a grieving mother calling for her daughter, mysterious blue lights rising from the creek, and a ghost that may have become something far older than a restless spirit. But before there was a legend, there was a murder. Tonight, we unravel the tragic true story of Katie DeWitt James, the conspiracy that may have silenced her forever, and the haunted crossing that refuses to let her be forgotten.

Equine skin problems can stem from a wide range of causes, including parasites, bacterial or fungal infections, allergies, and prolonged exposure to moisture or irritants. Successfully managing horses with skin problems relies on working with your veterinarian to identify the underlying issue and appropriately treat it. Because many dermatologic conditions can look similar in the early stages, it's important to have the veterinarian evaluate your horse promptly to help prevent complications and improve outcomes. During this episode, veterinarians answer your questions about common equine skin problems. This episode is brought to you by Creative Science. Meet the Experts: Julia Miller, DVM, Dipl. ACVD, was equine-focused in veterinary school at Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York, and completed a rotating large animal internship at the University of Georgia, in Athens, after graduation. She then went on to be a mixed animal general practitioner for several years before finding her true love, dermatology, and heading back to Cornell for her residency. She now practices in the beautiful land of the bluegrass in Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky and loves working on all creatures great and small!Carly Turner-Garcia, DVM, Dipl. ACT, spent her earlier years working in exotic and small animal veterinary medicine before finding her passion for horses during undergraduate studies at Berry College, in Mount Berry, Georgia. She graduated from The University of Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine, in Athens, continued to an internship at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, and a residency in theriogenology at Texas A&M University, in College Station, where she earned her Dipl. ACT. She spent the next 10 years in private practice in Weatherford, Texas, and Guthrie, Oklahoma, seeing everything from critical neonatal cases to orthopedic emergencies with a heavy caseload of advanced reproduction. She recently joined the team at Creative Science as a technical services veterinarian while operating her own practice, Black Type Equine, focusing on advanced equine reproduction throughout the U.S. Her biggest joy comes from spending time with her husband, Taylor Garcia, PhD, and their two boys on their ranch in Oklahoma raising cattle, Quarter Horses, and working dogs.
Charlie xcx is a great pop star, but is she any good as an actor? We find out by watching her as the lead in Erupcja, the new low-key relationship drama from director Pete Ohs. In honour of Erupcja, which makes great, lyrical use of its setting of Warsaw, Poland, we consider some of the other films in which the cities they are set in feel like characters in their own right. We also take a look at The Fall of Sir Douglas Weatherford, a dark comedy starring Peter Mullan as a tour guide who begins to lose the line between history and fantasy when a TV production comes to town.

This week on The Show, we're joined by Davon Godchaux for a conversation that covers far more than just football. Davon shares what life in the NFL is really like, talks about making the transition from LSU to the professional level, and gives some behind-the-scenes perspective on teams, locker rooms, and the realities of playing at the highest level.The conversation also dives into Davon's growing involvement in the horse industry, including how he got started with horses, his place in Weatherford, his thoughts on breeding, and the questions he has as he continues learning more about the industry. Along the way, the guys discuss hard work, relationships, making lasting impressions, and what it takes to create opportunities and build success. And somewhere in between all of that, there are plenty of jokes and moments that send the conversation off track.Thank you to Davon for joining us on this week's episode!
On this episode of Research Like a Pro, Diana and Nicole discuss how to transform unsuccessful searching into powerful proof by distinguishing between negative search results and negative evidence. Diana mentions that she is reading an article from the National Genealogical Society Quarterly about a DNA cluster that links two distant lines of descent. Diana shares that a search that yields "nothing" may be exactly the evidence a genealogist needs, drawing from her presentation at RootsTech 2026 on this topic. She uses her research on Henderson Weatherford as a case study for understanding the value of recording negative searches. Nicole then defines the three foundations of sound genealogical analysis. Direct evidence directly answers a research question, such as a death certificate stating a date of death. Indirect evidence requires combining multiple pieces of information to reason one's way to a conclusion. Negative evidence is a form of indirect evidence inferred from the absence of information that should exist under specific circumstances. Nicole clarifies that a negative search result is simply a logged research outcome, whereas negative evidence is only created after ruling out common causes for finding nothing, such as record loss, incomplete databases, or indexing errors. Diana then walks listeners through the seven steps of the Research Like a Pro process for systematically assembling negative evidence, which include defining a focused objective, conducting a locality study, citing every search, and writing a reasoned conclusion. Nicole notes that this process often requires several research phases to gather sufficient evidence, as in the Weatherford research. Listeners learn that when negative evidence is built through systematic, well-documented research, it is a legitimate and powerful form of proof. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

Anna and Geoff discuss the news that Helen deWitt has turned down the Windham Campbell prize. Are authors expected to do too much publicity? Our book of the week is PEDRO PÁRAMO by Juan Rulfo translated by Douglas J. Weatherford. 'Wuthering Heights located in Mexico written by Kafka' gives a hint - this book is a trip. It broke Anna's brain but Geoff found it richly rewarding once you get into it. Pedro Páramo inspired a generation of Hispanic writers including Gabriel Garcia Márquez and is considered a classic. It's now a Netflix film - but is it too faithful to the book? We needed the Wikipedia plot summary for this one.

The CopDoc Podcast - Season 9 - Episode 168What does it take to go from a dirt road in Northeast Texas to leading one of the most progressive police departments in the country?In this episode of The CopDoc Podcast, Dr. Steve Morreale sits down with Dr. Lance Arnold, Chief of Police in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Lance calls his journey "dirt road to doctorate," and that phrase captures something essential about who he is: a leader who never lost sight of where he came from, even as his thinking about leadership grew more sophisticated, more deliberate, and more people-centered with every passing year.Lance spent 20 years at the Norman, Oklahoma Police Department before taking his first chief's job in Weatherford, Texas, and then moving to Broken Arrow. Along the way, he earned an Ed.D. in organizational leadership and built systems for developing leaders from the inside out. He arrived at a deceptively simple conviction: the job of a leader is to create conditions for people to flourish. Not just survive. Not just get to retirement unbroken. Flourish.This conversation is one of the most substantive explorations of police leadership development you will find anywhere. Lance and Steve dig into why leadership training rarely sticks when the culture does not change around it, why most supervisors manage fires instead of preventing them, and why "we tried that in 1995, and it didn't work" may be the most dangerous sentence in policing. Lance is direct about his own early failures, honest about what it took to grow, and clear-eyed about the gap between what most agencies say they value and what they actually build systems to support.If you are a leader at any level who has ever felt like you were swimming against the tide, this one is for you.Hey there!

Route 66 got Americans moving across much of the country when it opened 100 years ago. As Oklahoma celebrates the Mother Road's Centennial, the TSET Better Health Podcast will drive conversation on upcoming Route 66 events that feature healthy fun and physical activity, including a big band dance in Weatherford, the Andy Payne Run in Claremore that honors a local legend and the "Kickin' It On Route 66" centennial event in Oklahoma City.
This week, Scott was joined by Rev. Trent Ormsbee-Hale, pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church in Weatherford, TX. For long-time listeners, that congregation might be familiar, because he served with and then followed Texas Impact's past Board President, Rev. Franz Schemmel as the pastor upon Franz's retirement. Scott and Trent reminisced on their shared history. Scott knew Trent and his husband Anthony while they were undergraduate students. At that time, Trent was discerning his journey in ministry, coming out of a Fransiscan background in a journey that led him to now serving as an Evangelical Lutheran pastor. The conversation centered on what faithful advocacy and justice work looks like when faith leaders serve communities that might not always share all of our values. There are countless faith leaders serving in contexts where many in their congregations feel isolated or worried and find comfort in their congregation being a safe place to worship, gather and/or engage in justice work. Trent gave voice to concerns, challenges and opportunities experienced by many faith leaders living and working in rural Texas.

Travels With Randy Route 66 Episode 10 is here! Oklahoma! And The Grapes Of Wrath Route 66 Journey Progress Update Bubba and Randy discussed Randy's progress on his Route 66 journey, focusing on Oklahoma where he is currently traveling. They noted that Oklahoma has done a good job preserving and promoting the historical route, with 429 miles of the bike route available and minimal interstate usage. Randy mentioned that Kansas will be his next stop, where he will cover only 13 miles of Route 66 across three towns. Route 66 and Technological Displacement Bubba and Randy discussed the historical context of Route 66 and its significance in John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath," where it was referred to as the "Mother Road." They explored how advancing technology in the 1930s displaced farmers in Oklahoma, leading many to migrate to California in search of work, only to face exploitation and wage disparities. The conversation drew parallels between this historical displacement and the current impact of AI on jobs, questioning how future technological advancements might affect employment and requiring society to adapt and evolve once again. Generational Work Ethics and Route 66 Randy and Bubba discussed differences in work ethic between generations, using the movie "The Grapes of Wrath" as an example of how people in the past handled challenges without complaining. They explored Route 66, highlighting stops like Sam's Town in Eric, Oklahoma, and discussing the town's connection to Roger Miller. The conversation also touched on Bonnie and Clyde's connection to the Red River and mentioned several movies associated with Route 66, including "Easy Rider" and "Cars." Route 66 Travel Plans Discussion Randy discussed his plans to travel Route 66 again starting in September from Chicago to Santa Monica, aiming to reach Seligman by late October for a centennial celebration and signing event. He noted the different perspectives of Route 66 depending on the direction of travel and wanted to capture more sights during this new journey. The conversation also included a discussion about Sears kit homes from the 1930s, with Beth providing information about how these homes were sold through catalogs and could cost between $600 for a small cottage to a few thousand dollars for larger models. Route 66 Trip Highlights Randy shared details about their Route 66 trip, highlighting visits to Elk City's museum with its historical road grader exhibit and the well-preserved town layout. They discussed getting lost in Clinton and missing some Route 66 attractions, including a neon arch and mini golf course. Randy also described Weatherford's Space City connection to astronaut Thomas P. Stafford and the newly added 30-foot astronaut statue, though they decided not to visit the Stafford Air and Space Museum during this trip. The conversation included a brief discussion about Apollo 10's role as a dress rehearsal for the moon landing, and Randy mentioned visiting Lucille's roadhouse in Weatherford. Route 66 Journey Updates Randy shared updates about their Route 66 journey, discussing notable towns and landmarks between Weatherford and Oklahoma City, including Bridgeport's Pony Bridge, El Reno's fried onion burger, and Bethany's Southern Nazarene University. They highlighted the challenges of navigating Oklahoma City's multiple route alignments and provided guidance on following historical Route 66 signs rather than bicycle routes for a more authentic experience. The discussion also touched on the repurposing of historic sites into new businesses and included a humorous exchange about Love's Travel Stops responding to a social media post. Route 66 Travel Updates Randy discussed his recent travels along Route 66, sharing experiences from Oklahoma and plans for future trips, including a potential return visit in the fall. He mentioned meeting new people and gathering suggestions for places to visit on his return journey. Randy also explained his use of Jim and Gemini for trip planning, while Beth continues to handle podcast-related tasks and provide road information during his travels. Travel Plans and National Parks Randy and Bubba discussed their upcoming travel plans, including Randy's visit to Sam's rustic property and future plans to visit Alaska's national parks. They noted that their Facebook page, "placebook.com/travelswithrandypodcast," has grown to 32,000 followers. The conversation highlighted their original goal of visiting all 61 national parks, with Randy needing to complete 8 parks in Alaska, some of which require plane or boat transportation to access. Route 66 Travel Journey Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed Randy's Route 66 travel journey, where he's taking his time documenting the route with photos while staying in places like Cracker Barrel parking lots. Randy explained his approach of doing smaller sections of the route at a time, suggesting that listeners could start with a "there and back" trip in their own state as a test run. He noted that while taking his time allows him to see more, he's missing some experiences like neon signs at night and visiting restaurants, which he plans to address on his return trip westbound. Route 66 Business Strategy Planning Bubba and Randy discussed their sons' recent trip to Italy and compared their personalities to their own middle-child experiences. They then planned a business strategy for selling Route 66-themed postcards and calendars, deciding to create a Shopify store and potentially include Route 66 stamps as a special feature for the first 100 orders. They agreed to start the product line with car culture and hidden gem themes, and discussed the possibility of Randy traveling the Route 66 to sell wholesale products. SO. MANY. PHOTOS - Come join the conversation on Facebook with our 32,000 friends! https://www.facebook.com/travelswithrandypodcast Have a great idea for the guys? Want to sponsor us?

We wanna hear from you! Send us a message here :) Wynn Williams is a true cowboy turned country music artist, forged in the dirt and grit of the rodeo arena. After graduating from Texas A&M in 2016, the Weatherford, TX native and steer wrestler swapped his spurs for a guitar, but the spirit of the cowboy never left him. Now based in Fort Worth, he's built his career on his own terms, with over 20 million global streams proving his relentless drive and authenticity. His music reflects the hard-earned lessons of life on the road and the unfiltered stories that come with it. Drawing influence from legends like George Strait and Brooks & Dunn, Wynn blends classic country tradition with a modern edge. His debut EP Words Fly set the stage for his 2020 self-titled album, featuring standout tracks like “Tornado” and “Man, What a Woman,” which helped open doors for his timeless, traditional country sound. Follow-up releases like the Your Love EP—including “Like She Does,” a love song written for his wife, Billboard-recognized “All Over Me,” and CMT-featured “Like the Wind”—further established Wynn as one of country music's most genuine new talents.Since then, Wynn's powerful voice and honest lyrics have continued to resonate with fans around the world. His 2025 release, Country Therapy, IS a collection of pure country songs that channels the beloved sound of late-'90s and early-'00s country through collaborations with some of Nashville's most prominent songwriters and publishers. With fan favorites like “Denver to Dallas” and “Here for the Beer,” the album captures both nostalgia and the true craft of songwriting while keeping Wynn's cowboy roots front and center. As he tours across the U.S., Europe and Canada, Wynn remains grounded in the same grit and work ethic that shaped him. From the rodeo grounds to the stage, his music speaks to anyone who's ever worked hard and stayed true to who they are—proof that real country music still rides strong. If you're looking for the real deal, look no further than Wynn Williams.Support the show

Michael and Kandi Thompson saw a need and they filled it. Michael didn't have any idea he would be a barber or own a barbershop but we don't always know where life will take us. Kandi owned a salon in Weatherford and noticed that the men also needed somewhere to hang out while their wives were in the salon, so they added the barber side. The Bearded Beast. Since then it has evolved into much more than just a place to get a haircut, they carry unique products and create an environment people are excited to walk into. “You can have the best product in the world but if nobody knows about it, it doesn't matter” this saying really resonated with Michael and Kandi and now they're known worldwide on social media, driving business from all over.
