About the show

Receipts first. Then the take.

Seeing Red is a Texas politics podcast for people who actually want to know how this state works. I sit down with the lawmakers, operatives, and activists in the middle of the fight and ask the questions that get past the talking points.

I come at it as a conservative who would rather win, bank it, and go get the next one than lose gloriously on principle. That means plain talk, honest questions, and no free passes just for being on the right team. If the receipts don't back up the story, I say so.

The idea is simple. The more you really know about Texas politics, the harder you are to spin. That is the whole point of the show.
