Yall-itics is the unofficial political podcast of Texas. Each week well crack open an ice-cold Texas brew and explore a single hot topic affecting Texans. But this isnt politics as usual. Yall-itics doesnt come from a fancy studio. Were taking our podcast on the road to get past the soundbites and dive deeper into the issues that matter to yall. Leave your labels at the door, this is a political podcast for all Texans even the recent transplants!
