Thirteen new episodes of the docuseries will begin airing weekly on August 31.

AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / August 31, 2025 / Texas Monthly is proud to announce the return of its docuseries Texas Monthly Presents to PBS stations across Texas, premiering thirteen brand-new episodes starting Sunday, August 31, at 6 p.m. CT.

Bringing Texas Stories to Your Living Room

In May 2025, Texas Monthly added to its growing portfolio of storytelling by premiering four episodes of a new half-hour program on Texas PBS stations and streaming on the PBS app. Texas Monthly Presents is a docuseries that celebrates the storytelling for which Texas Monthly is known by spotlighting the work of its writers and their talents. Each segment features a writer taking the viewer inside an urgent, dynamic story, turning toward the viewer and inviting them into a place that expands the collective perception of a state known for its fascinating characters and unforgettable stories of tragedy and triumph.

The first episodes of the series spotlighted how historical spaces evolve over time and how barbecue joints and taquerias are more than what’s on their menus. Early ratings data showed growth in viewership each week, and local station directors made clear they wanted to see more of this dynamic new show.

"Adapting our magazine articles for TV is a thrilling new way for us to reach more and more people around Texas, a state with a landmass bigger than France’s and a GDP bigger than Russia’s," said Ross McCammon, editor in chief of Texas Monthly. "In this format, the stories that move us feel that much more moving. The stories that thrill us feel that much more thrilling. And the stories about tacos and barbecue make us hungrier. I couldn’t be prouder of this work-some of the best new storytelling on television, in Texas and beyond."

"Texas PBS stations are proud of this partnership to expand our traditions of great storytelling," said Kierstan Schwab, executive director of Texas PBS. "Texas Monthly has won national awards for its brand of storytelling over the last fifty years, so it just made a lot of sense to partner and share some of those great stories with PBS audiences."

The upcoming thirteen episodes will explore themes as rich and textured as the magazine itself: change, resilience, roots, and discovery.

Bradley Joseph Sinkaus Promoted to Director, Jonathan Weinberg Joins as Associate

WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / Today, Raynor Ave. announced a new hire and a promotion as the firm expands its public affairs bench and marks its fifth anniversary. Founded in 2020, the firm has served dozens of clients on issues spanning 5G spectrum, broadband access, antitrust, and defense innovation. The promotion of Bradley Joseph Sinkaus to Director and the hiring of Jonathan Weinberg as Associate reflect the firm’s investment in a wide range of expertise to communicate complex public policy where it counts and deliver results for our clients in D.C. and beyond.

About Bradley Joseph Sinkaus

With experience across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, Bradley’s portfolio spans infrastructure, energy, education, and transportation. He served on the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources as part of his graduate practicum, contributing to the 2016 passage of a bipartisan energy bill, and spent five years at the Congressional Management Foundation (CMF), where he project-managed the Democracy Awards, developed congressional training programs, and co-authored several publications on constituent communications. He’s also held roles at SteegeThomson Communications and Nexight Group. "I’m honored to be promoted to Director," Bradley said. "Over the past year at Raynor Ave., I’ve learned the value of clear, strategic storytelling, fierce teamwork, and relentless client focus, all lessons I’ll carry into this next chapter."

About Jonathan Weinberg

Jonathan spent over eight years as a political operative and campaign professional, spearheading successful issue-based and electoral campaigns that earned statewide and national recognition. He also served a three-year term on the Concord School Board (NH), where he chaired the City and Community Relations Committee. During his tenure, he championed greater community engagement, testified before the state legislature on numerous occasions, and promoted youth civic involvement as the board’s youngest member. He most recently worked in the budget office at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. "I am excited to join Raynor Ave. and leverage my expertise to build effective public affairs campaigns for our clients," Jonathan said. "I feel fortunate to be a part of such a dynamic team and start this new journey. Let’s get to work."

Co-founded by Aaron Alberico and Beneva Schulte in 2020, Raynor Ave. Public Affairs brings decades of experience in public relations, crisis communications, campaign management, and government service in both Congress and the Administration.
