The Ticket 2016

KUT's Ben Philpott and the Texas Tribune's Jay Root wind up the podcast with a quick look at how President-elect Donald Trump's victory affects Texas. They'll go down the list of Texans in line for spots in the Trump administration. And they'll chat about how journalism could/should change after this election.

Ben and Jay are trying to figure out what's next for the podcast. Shoot an email to bphilpott@kut or jroot@texastribune with suggestions.

Thanks for listening to The Ticket 2016!

This week, the polls have gotten so close that it looks like the assumed Clinton victory is more of a toss-up. So the Texas Tribune's Jay Root and KUT's Ben Philpott will talk about where the race stands now and evolution and effect of polls in the 2016 election with Republican pollster Chris Perkins.

And because we're based here in Texas, we'll talk about how the national race could-might-maybe-possibly affect politics in the lone star state with Texas Tribune CEO and noted New York Yankees fan Evan Smith.

This week, The Texas Tribune's Jay Root and KUT's Ben Philpott tackle some of Donald Trump's assertions that the polls showing him behind…are wrong. They'll talk with political researcher and pollster Stefan Hankin to break down the possibility of a bad polling year.

And the state of Texas still appears to be a close race between Trump and Clinton. The Director of the UT-Austin's Texas Politics Project, Jim Henson, joins us with new polling numbers released this week.

This week, the Tribune's Jay Root and KUT's Ben Philpott taped before a crowd at KLRU's historic studio 6A, former host of the iconic TV show Austin City Limits.

While the crowd was waiting on the 3rd Presidential debate, we want to go beyond the debate and even the election to talk about the future of the Republican and Democratic parties in Texas. So we'll talk with Burt Orange Report Publisher Lize Burr and Deirdre Delisi of Delisi Communications about what happens next after this brawl of a campaign.

And because we know some people have been a little stressed out by this election, we've invited some local comedians to lighten the mood with some debate humor.
