It’s been nearly 30 years since the Republic of Texas standoff. The lean-to embassy has been scattered in the wind. What happened in Rick’s wake? What did he leave behind? What is the DMR like now– how did Rick McLaren change this place?
Flavors of this episode: burning embassies, TV Specials, oxygen tanks, TEXIT, Hollywood, Matthew McConaughey, old cowboy songs, why we all live here.
