203 - Magical Matagorda Bay w/ Kimberly Ridley

Kimberly Ridley has written "Matagorda Magic: The Hidden Life of a Texas Bay" (Texas A&M University Press 2024) about our very own Matagorda Bay estuary right here in our home county on the Texas Gulf Coast. Kimberly joins the podcast this week to talk about the book and her experiences visiting our county and the Matagorda Bay estuary.

"Matagorda Magic" includes wonderful illustrations by Rebekah Raye.

In part 2, Rex and Craig talk about baseball's latest gambling scandal plus reaction to Major League Baseball incorporating Negro League statistics into the MLB database.
