817 Podcast - Fort Worth's Monday Morning Show
Fort Worth Weekly Critic's Choice Podcast of the Year
"Fort Worth's Monday morning meeting." - Bud Kennedy
Do you love Fort Worth and care about what goes on in our amazing city? Well, welcome to the 817 Podcast, a weekly Monday morning show hosted by two Fort Worthians who banter and dissect the biggest stories in local culture, politics, and business. EJ Carrion is a local entrepreneur, and Ann Zadeh is a former city council member.
Ann and EJ will host a diverse guest list of local leaders that drive Fort Worth’s future. We believe Fort Worth can be a nationally known destination for innovation, creativity, and economic opportunity. However, the climate in the city today is polarizing between an evolving community that deals with historic Cowtown roots and a wave of progressive newcomers. What we do today and in the next decade is crucial to the future of the Funk. How we respond to political friction, wealth inequality, and social injustice in our communities can make or break our national reputation.
Join us weekly as we do our part to prevent either from happening. Do you have a story you want us to highlight? DM us @817pod on Instagram or email us at 817podcast@gmail.com.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Sometimes you have to play defense instead of offense. EJ and Jimmy share who they are voting for in the Republican runoff and why 96% of voters should do the same. Bud Kennedy had a great article in the Sunday paper that plays as the backdrop to this episode. Enjoy and share!
Here is a list of Republicans Jimmy and EJ are voting for:
Attorney General: George P. Bush
Commissioner of General Land Accounts: Tim Westley
Railroad Commissioner: Sarah Stogner
