Red, Blue, and Brady126: The Rise of the American Mass ShooterSend us a textAccording to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been over 147 mass shootings in America this year.* These mass shootings account for only a tiny percentage of the United State's gun deaths, but nevertheless tend to dominate our news cycles. Two contradictory situations have developed overtime: while many have argued that Americans have become desensitized to the horror of mass shootings, many media scholars have also pointed out the US fascination with mass shooters themselves. How have Americans become accustomed to these continued killings? What myths have been built up around these...2021-04-2341 min

But that didn’t stop the jury from finding against him.
Then Kristin tells us about the infamous chocolate candy murders. Back in the late 1800’s, a marr...2020-03-041h 20

McGraw turns his curiosity and storytelling skills to focus on Texas, where he says every aspect of water use, issues, needs and potentials are in play.

Water is life, but can...2018-04-2432 min
