Episode Synopsis

To understand where Texas is going, you need to understand what shaped her.  This week we're joined by Dr. Donald Frazier, an historian, prolific author, and professor at Schreiner University in Kerrville, TX.
We cover the pre-Texas Revolution people groups, an influx of illegal immigrants across the Sabine from the Western US, the influence of the Comanches on Texas history, and how race relations from slavery to civil rights impacted the Lone Star State.  Interwoven in the discussion are descriptions of the cultural traits that have endured for generations of Texans. 
And to start the episode, Geoff and Ben discuss Ben's big 40th birthday and recent news including a scandalous and "fake news" ranking of Blue Bell ice cream.
