Mike is supremely cheesed over the Supreme Court ruling for racism and against the Voting Rights Act, and he recounts the history of voting discrimination. Roger has more talk about The War plus a ballroom update you need to know. And there's a Weird History Fact about dentures. In other words, lots to chew on... yes, we did.

Another Fine Mess Ep 2 - Voting Rights, The War & Dentures

Another Fine Mess is not just another politics and news podcast. Hosts Roger Gray and Mike Vance were afternoon drive talk radio partners back at the start of the century. They amused Houston audiences with not only political talk but entertainment, books, sports and humor. Lots of humor. That's because, while Roger has a half century of traveling the world doing news, Mike was a professional stand-up comedian and fronted an original country music band for two decades. They went their separate ways for a bit, but could not abide the idea of today's mess of a world going unchallenged. They're doing just that each week in Another Fine Mess! You can expect to hear a little of that entertainment, sports and history talk, too. Learn something, and do it with a smile.
Mike Vance is the author of fifteen non-fiction books on Texas history, sports, and comedy, and four historical fiction novels. Mike also writes and hosts the irreverent history podcast <a href="https://mikevance324.podbean.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Prick the Balloon</a>. He has written, produced and directed eight feature length Texas history documentaries and over 150 short educational Texas history films. Before his writing career, Vance spent 20 years as a professional stand-up comedian and musician before working on-air in radio and television. Mike has taught Texas history at Rice University’s Glasscock School of Continuing Studies for more than a decade.
Roger Gray has toiled at the journalism trade since 1970 and his first radio news job at KTRH in Houston. Over those woefully misspent years, he has worked in radio, TV and written for magazines. He was twice elected President of the Texas Automobile Writers Association and was elected to the Texas Radio Hall of Fame. He covered the first Persian Gulf War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the reunification of Germany, Oslo Accords in Israel and peace talks in Ireland. He interviewed writers, actors, politicians and every President from Ford to George W, and none of them remember him. Now, he is part of the Texas Outlaw Writers, and if this doesn't pan out, the outlaw part will still work as he will indeed resort to robbing banks.
