Mehr Texas Outlaw Writers

The Texas Outlaw Writers are a group of journalists, writers, and misfits (along with their guests) who like to write, chat, and sometimes rant about news, current events, politics, culture and travel. While we're mostly Texas-centric, we take up topics of both local and national interest. Topics such as immigration/border issues, elections/campaigns, reproductive freedom, public education, economy, healthcare, criminal justice, and the environment.. Our shows might take the form of round table discussions, one on one interviews, or even reading some of the stories from our weekly newsletter.

Episode Filmmaker and Rice Professor Brian Huberman: He produces documentaries on the Alamo and Texas history and once filmed Dennis Hopper perform the Russian Dynamite Chair trick. Cover

Filmmaker and Rice Professor Brian Huberman: He produces documentaries on the Alamo and Texas history and once filmed Dennis Hopper perform the Russian Dynamite Chair trick.

I've worked with Brian Huberman [https://vada.rice.edu/faculty/brian-huberman] over the years, usually doing a bit of post-production on documentaries he's working on. They range from interviews with Holocaust Survivors (for the Holocaust Museum) to various films about the Alamo, Texas Heroes and Texas History. Raised in England, this most-British-sounding professor probably knows more about Texas history than most native Texan schoolkids (not much of a surprise, there, eh?) He's a character and a lot of fun to chat with. Join me as I try to find out where a nice English schoolboy got his fascination with all things Davy Crockett. And I'll try to find out what the hell he was thinking when he filmed Dennis Hopper surrounding himself with sticks of dynamite and then ignited them before a crowd of drag race fans. A list of his films can be found here, on his personal website [https://www.brianhuberman.com/].

Mike Shiloh warns the Texas Outlaws that Texas leading the nation in new renewable energy projects on top of being the #1 oil producing state - may not be enough.

Texas prides itself on being the #1 oil-producing state. They're leading the country in adding renewable energy projects. And yes, there can be tension between those factions, (but traditional energy companies are not going to leave money on the table when it comes to new technology.) But Mike Shiloh warns that it is not enough. Our appetite for electricity is insatiable. Mike started out much like last week's guest (Mike Vance) - hanging out in Houston's comedy clubs, working his act and watching future comics hone their skills. This led to a reporting career in radio and then print. Mike started working with Harvey Kronberg at The Texas Energy Report. When Harvey wanted to branch out and create The Texas Quorum Report, Mike took over as publisher. The TER is on a "mission to cover the effects of politics, markets, government and general economies on the oil, gas, electricity, utilities, alternative & renewable energy industries of the acknowledged leader in world energy generation and management, Texas." Mike confided in us that, "Energy... in Texas... kind of a big deal."

Mike Vance: A Texas Outlaw Writer, A Texas Outlaw Comic, a Texas historian, documentarian, and a radio and TV host.

Mike Vance was a government major at UT Austin and promptly used that knowledge to go into a career in stand-up comedy, acting, pool hustling and script writing. Still searching for something that would pay even less, Mike later founded an improv troupe and a politically correct country & western band. Mike was part of Houston's explosive 80s and 90's comedy scene, a member of the disorganized group known as the Texas Outlaw Comics. (Hey! They stole our name!) A tremendous history buff, he's become a go-to source on Texas history and knows more about Houston history than General Sam himself. Though he has recently authored several lightly-read books, the biggest achievement of Mike's life to date was co-hosting an afternoon drive radio show with the Outlaws' own Roger Gray.
