Hey folks, this is Jackie, producer of the Josh Marshall podcast featuring Kate Riga.

I just wanted to thank everyone who came out to our live show in Austin this week.

We loved seeing and meeting you all.

You're about to listen to Kate and Josh do their usual show with an extra dose of Texas content,

but I wanted to make sure you stay tuned after the main show for A Boots on the Ground conversation between Josh Marshall and Justin Miller, News and Politics editor at the Texas Observer.

If you want to skip around, check out the show notes below for timestamps and enjoy.

is the straight of Hormuz and Iran is like, no, no, with our permission,
