Each week we’ll crack open an ice-cold Texas brew and explore a single hot topic affecting Texans. 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!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-25T22:19:38.944658+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/y-all-itics-637213"},"episode":{"title":"Taking a Toilet Break 250,000 Miles from Earth","slug":"taking-a-toilet-break-250-000-miles-from-earth","published_at":"2026-04-01T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/y-all-itics-637213/taking-a-toilet-break-250-000-miles-from-earth","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/y-all-itics-637213","url":"https://www.wfaa.com/yallitics","audio_url":"https://injector.simplecastaudio.com/2efa2c4b-0331-4294-8510-b78c09caf874/episodes/d274fd62-189f-4623-af45-7294194a3f62/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2efa2c4b-0331-4294-8510-b78c09caf874&awEpisodeId=d274fd62-189f-4623-af45-7294194a3f62&feed=gcyw8OV5","summary":"NASA’s Artemis II mission is a go. And four astronauts will soon travel farther from Earth and closer to the Moon than any human in more than 50 years. The mission will be full of “firsts” and “farthests” in an effort to get humans ready to once again step foot on the lunar surface and eventually travel to Mars.
