The top local stories this afternoon from KERA News: Over the past week, we’ve been hearing from North Texas voters as they cast their ballots. On Thursday, KERA’s Stephanie Kuo checks in with residents in the small, rural town of Pilot Point, about 20 miles north of Denton.

Other stories this afternoon:

  • Dallas author Ben Fountain’s novel, ‘Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk,’ has gone a long way. It was his first novel, yet it became a National Book Award finalist, and now a film by Oscar-winning director Ang Lee. Each week in the Art & Seek Artist Spotlight, we explore the personal journey of a North Texas creative.

You can listen to North Texas stories weekdays at 8:22 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
