Texarkana Talks

This morning we had a great time despite a few tech issues, we had a great conversation with Phillip Mann of the Texarkana Symphony Orchestra about the 25-26 season. Then Soul Man Billy Bland joins us for a visit.

Our guest couldn't make it, so we share our opinions on the importance of Hills & Valleys Refuge. How the No Kings movement is funded by those that wish to be your king and how Americans are celebrating 250 years of No Kings. We also talk to Paul Wilson about our Texarkana High School Football games.

Dr. Antay Waters joined us this morning and gave us a great explanation of just how bad the rural healthcare crisis is in Texas, especially here in our region. This is one of the most important conversations we have had in a long while. Support these changes by getting involved at TexasNP.org.

When our guest is unable to get here, we just keep going. So, this is what happens when you make it up as you go along. We say goodbye to MTV. We talk about the big Ducks Unlimited Banquet coming up on October 23. New local businesses opening up, and the big Veterans Parade and Extravaganza set for November 8, 2025, in downtown Texarkana.
