Y'all-itics

On this episode of Y’all-itics, we go out to the farm. The Texas economy has done well over the past decade. Farmers have not. They know all about economic downturns, but their income today is half of what it was six years ago. Crops just aren’t selling for what they were. Then came the trade war with China and the tit-for-tat tariffs. Now, a difficult situation is a little more desperate. But when you ask who’s to blame, there's not an easy answer. One Texas farmer shares his own struggles and how they are shaping his vote for 2020, in a candid conversation with hosts Jason Whitely and Jason Wheeler.

Get ready for the "Year of the Text Message." In 2020, political campaigns are coming to your mobile phone. In elections past, campaigns have spent millions of dollars on television and radio ads, campaign signs and billboards to reach voters. The 2020 cycle will be different. In this episode, we discover how much a campaign will pay for your cell phone number and what they’re going to do with it over the next year. Texting is changing the way candidates run for office. Vinny Minchillo, principal at GlassHouse Strategy and a veteran of political ads, pulls the campaign curtain back with hosts Jason Whitely and Jason Wheeler.

Y’all-itics is the unofficial political podcast of Texas. Each week Jason Whitely and Jason Wheeler will crack open an ice-cold Texas brew and explore a single hot topic affecting Texans as we gear up for the 2020 election. But this isn’t politics as usual. Y’all-itics doesn’t come from a fancy studio. We’re taking our podcast on the road to get past the soundbites and dive deeper into the issues that matter to y’all. Leave your labels at the door, this is a political podcast for all Texans… even the recent transplants!
