Welcome to Talking Texas Vouchers! The podcast where we dive deep into the evolving landscape of education right here in the Lone Star State of Texas. I’m Wade Erickson, and I'll be your host, and I’m thrilled to have you join us as we explore one of the most talked-about topics in Texas education today—the Texas Education Voucher program.
Each week, we’ll break down the latest legislative updates, unpack how vouchers might work and how they might be used, and examine their impact on families, schools, and entire communities across Texas.
But that’s not all — education is changing faster than ever, and we’ll take a closer look at the role of technology in modern learning. From innovative online education tools to alternative pathways that are shaping the future, we’re here to keep you informed and inspired.
So whether you’re a parent navigating school options, an educator exploring new opportunities, a policymaker shaping the future, or just someone curious about where Texas education is headed—you’re in the right place.
Let’s start the conversation and chart a course for education that works for every Texan. This is Talking Texas Vouchers. Let’s dive in!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
