"Texas Matters" spends half an hour each week looking at the issues, newsmakers and culture of Texas. The program features co-hosts David Martin Davies and Yvette Benavides.

Texas Matters #286 - February 17, 2006
Interstate 35 is a 1,789 mile long stretch of asphalt. At one end is Lake Superior and at the other the Rio Grande. Settlers, trail blazers and teamsters traveled I-35 long before there was an I-35. Eventually, that one time dirt trail came to be paved, named and jammed with traffic. Along the way, the state was conquered by the Spanish, won its independence, was crisscrossed by iron rails and hitched a ride on a fleet of 18-wheelers. We talk in depth with Howard J. Erlichman, author of "Camino del Norte," about the history of I-35 in Texas.

It's supposed to be a local race for congress but somehow the primary election for the Democratic nomination for the 28th congressional seat has become a national story. Widely read left-wing Internet blogs like Daily Kos and AmeriBlog have cast a national light onto the race. It was the incumbent Henry Cuellar that has gotten their attention. They've labeled him a stealth Republican and have highlighted his record of frequently voting with the GOP. We talk to all three candidates: Congressman Henry Cuellar; former Congressman Ciro Rodriguez; and school teacher, Victor Morales.

Texas Matters #290 - March 17, 2006
After a week of wildfires in the Texas Panhandle, some relief has finally come to the residents, farmers and fire fighters who have battled the blazes. This will be remembered as the worst week for wildfires in Texas history. At least 11 people were killed and 850,000 acres were consumed by the fires. But despite the rain that delivered this break in the wildfires, the drought conditions that created those fires still persists and all of Texas remains in peril from wildfires at least until the end of Summer. "Texas Matters" talks to Texas Forest Service Spokesperson Warren Beilenberg; FEMA spokesperson Hannah Vick and Gene Hall, The Texas Farm Bureau spokesperson. Also, "Texas Matters" heard how some college students spent their Spring Break working against capital punishment in Texas. We talk to a young anti-death penalty activist, Audry Lamm, whose own mother was murdered. And, Texas is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in Shamrock, Texas. The panhandle town got too close for comfort to the wildfires this week but now they are toasting the fire fighters with green beer. We speak to David Rushing, the organizer of the Shamrock, Texas St. Patrick’s celebration.

It's one more thing you can blame on the ongoing Texas drought.
