In this episode of the Rio Grande Valley Business Journal Podcast, host Naxi Lopez sits down with contributor Matt Wilson to discuss two stories drawing attention across South Texas.

Wilson explains the growing concern among farmers and ranchers about the potential return of the screwworm parasite, which devastated the cattle industry decades ago before being eradicated.

The conversation also explores Wilson’s deep investigative work into thousands of newly released Epstein-related documents, which revealed a surprising connection between Jeffrey Epstein and the development of the South Padre Island Golf Club in the early 2000s.
