Mr. Allard’s Neighborhood: Recent Episodes
Brad Allard
What I plan to cover is not just the latest Trump outrage or how Pelosi is making the country socialist and that kind of thing (although there will be some that, for sure!), but also a focus on local items and events. If you have a nonprofit or a charitable event in the Burleson area soon, I would be glad to mention them on the podcasts and the website. If you want some time on the podcasts to publicize the events, I consider that part of my civic duty to provide that opportunity.
We spend a lot of time on the show talking streets and budgets, so get from one who is there, Victoria Johnson.
A really entertaining show with Sandy Mason of the American Legion. We talked about that, as well as Texas Youth Hunting Program.
Duane and Donna Hollowell Patrick of Pollo Rosso Winery in Cleburne. Very good wine and a very time.
Not my most smooth talking show because, like many of you, it is difficult to speak on the toxic rhetoric in our politics and what it is has led to and not point fingers or engage in that rhetoric oneself. However, I gave it a shot and I hope I was evenhanded in my approach, because its a symptom that plagues both parties, that both parties engage in.
The Wings of Hope organization provides equine therapy for those who have physical, emotional, and mental disabilities. Find out what they may be able to provide to someone you know.

Listen to DeWayne Burns' own words about his stances on vouchers and his "liberal" agenda".

Here is today's show with Mr. Stanford. I thought it came off as pretty courteous and civil. I asked some questions I wanted to discuss and he answered. Whether you agree with either of us is fair for comment and if you have some, here's the place to do it. I would be interested in your feedback.

Unfortunately we had some sound quality issues around the part of my observations on the school board election. But most is still good, and if you can hack your way thru the choppy part, it's well worth your time.

Michel Umphrey of Hotworx and I had a great discussion on the Constitution and governing under the current atmosphere. Plus she has a unique perspective on the SRO issue currently being debated (and if anyone thinks I coached her on any of her answers obviously has not met Michel).
Here are my thoughts on the proposed plan to eliminate the city's participation in the SRO programs at the secondary schools, instead forming a a district police (like Uvalde). I think it is one of the more important shows I've done so I hope you get a chance to see why I think this is such a poor and misguided idea.
