After his family’s home was swept away in the devastating Central Texas floods on July 4, 2025, Texas Monthly senior editor Aaron Parsley began the journey of putting the pieces back together. It began with a magazine feature written days after the tragedy—for which he won a Pulitzer Prize—and continues here as he hosts this podcast series, Where the River Took Us. Through intimate conversations with family members and other survivors, this podcast explores how people endure unimaginable loss and how a community tries to rebuild, grow, and adapt after a mass tragedy.
From the producers of America’s Girls, The Final Flight of Captain Forrester, and The Problem With Erik, the series debuts May 26, 2026.

The Reality Between Us explores what happens underneath relationships.
Through the lens of trauma, nervous systems, self-awareness, and relational patterns, Aja Rutledge examines the forces quietly shaping how we connect, conflict, communicate, avoid, trust, and make meaning of our experiences. Most relationship advice focuses on behavior. This podcast explores what’s driving the behavior.
Rather than offering formulas or quick fixes, The Reality Between Us looks beneath the surface of our relationships, with partners, family, friends, coworkers, and most importantly, ourselves, to understand the hidden dynamics influencing how we show up and why we keep repeating the patterns we do. Because what happens between people rarely starts between people. Most relationship advice is looking in one place. We’re going to look somewhere else.

I hope these podcasts help keep you informed, inspired, and every once in a while… laughing.

A weekly slumber party for heart to hearts and hot gossip hosted by Maddie Dragsbaek and Meg Ruocco. One part emotional reflections and one part raunchy reality tv recaps. Come for the girls, stay for the goss.
You never know where this podcast is going—and neither do they. Known as Syd and TP, Syd Colson and Theresa Plaisance are best friends, former teammates, and now hosts who cannot, will not, stay on topic. After launching a hit TV show (which also didn’t stay on topic), they return their hilarious antics to mainstream audiences, as their podcast “Unsupervised” brings in the same energy that fans have grown to love.
One minute they’re dissecting reality TV drama, the next they’re debating if pigeons are government spies. Somewhere in between, they’ll pull audiences into completely unhinged games that are way more fun than they should be (no, seriously), and they’ll dish out impressively solid life advice to callers, who probably have no idea who they are and may wonder, are they okay? It’s an in-real-life text thread turned podcast — like a 2 a.m. group chat you accidentally walked into. You’ll be glad you stayed.
