Burden of rising electricity bills (Oct. 28, 2025)

On Tuesday's show: Think your electricity bill has been high lately? You might be surprised by how much some of your fellow Texans say they’re being charged for power, month to month. We examine the findings from a new survey on the financial strain energy bills are putting on Texans.

Also this hour: Texas Monthly writer Skip Hollandsworth discusses some noteworthy crimes committed in Texas by women. It’s the subject of his latest book, She Kills.

Then, Houston native Diane Ravitch was once a firm proponent of standardized testing and school choice, and she was a key figure in President George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind policies -- until she changed her mind. We find out why, which she addresses in her book, An Education.

And we meet the team behind lo-fi puppets + stuff, who make puppets and practice the art of puppetry in various forms.
