Houston Chronicle columnist Rick Casey — formerly a San Antonio Express-News columnist whose deeply reported pieces taught a young journalist named John Tedesco a thing or two — is back in San Antonio and trying something new.

Check out his new show on KLRN: “Texas Week.” The first episode aired Friday.

Notice the lack of weeping hosts, confusing flow charts on chalk boards, and people yelling at each other.

Refreshing, isn’t it?
