Texas Standard For August 28, 2018
After NAFTA, now what? The president says a new trade deal with Mexico doesn’t need Canada along for the ride. What does it mean for Texas? We’ll take a look.

Also: Beto and Ted’s excellent adventure: why a filmmaker is turing a midterm “battle royale” into a motion picture. Plus: Starving in the Texas suburbs: hidden hunger and the effort to address it. And: Prehistoric insects buggin the Lone Star State? Those stories and so much more on today’s Texas Standard:
