Podcast: Consider This
Consider This from NPR and KERA helps you make sense of the biggest stories of the day in North Texas and beyond. It’s the first podcast - ever - to offer a mix of community and national news based on where you are, a feature currently available in North Texas and several other regions (with more on the way). We tackle a few timely topics with careful attention to their complexity, and go beyond the headlines with a quick, but thorough, take on the news. New episodes publish every weekday evening.
