About this episode
Hello TribCast listeners. We're piloting a new podcast called Point of Order that we think you'll enjoy.
Hosted by Evan Smith, Point of Order takes you inside, behind and underneath the politics and issues of the Texas Legislature — the turning of gears and pulling of strings that power government in a state like no other.
In this pilot episode, Evan sits down with Texas House Speaker Joe Straus the morning after the midterms to talk everything from the balance of power in the Texas House to President Trump's tweets.
