Great Texas history from new angles

“What attracts me most to the Wise About Texas podcast is the attention to undercurrents and side stories, especially those that have gone untold and under-appreciated. The focus on fantastic characters like Pamelia Mann, Basil Muse Hatfield, and Kenneth Threadgill is captivating because of how close these lesser-known characters were to the characters most people know. It's a reminder that history is so often made and changed by people we never heard of.
Having started the podcast during the novel coronavirus pandemic, I've been able to see the evolution of Wise About Texas, years in the making, in a compressed period of time. Judge Wise not only improved his audio quality and production value but also improved his storytelling and interviewing skills. Too many historical discussions lack focus, include too many unrelated facts, and fail to make a clear, relevant point. Wise About Texas manages to do all three and makes it sound easy, even though each episode takes an incredible amount of work, discipline, and talent.
Unearthing the forgotten or lesser-known people and stories from Texas is what makes our history interesting, and what keeps it alive. With impeccable research, candor, and a nose for great stories, Judge Wise is helping grow and protect our most prized possession--our identity.”Read full review »

“As a longtime Texas history student I enjoy Ken’s well researched stories about our state’s
unique beginnings. My first known Texan ancestor died in 1841 so understandably his topics pique my interest. Well done Mr. Wise what a great gift you give back to Texas and Texans!!!!”
