Join The Atlantic Across America tour in San Antonio, Texas. From battlefields around the world to the halls of Congress, this event will center on conversations about foreign policy and the military at the Texas Public Radio’s Malú and Carlos Alvarez Theater and Studio.

Representative Joaquin Castro of Texas will analyze how foreign policy gets made, manipulated, and massaged in Washington. Then, The Atlantic’s Adam Serwer, Vivian Salama, and Mark Leibovich will provide a reporter’s-notebook analysis of the politics of military oversight and the erosion of congressional oversight.

Reel Bad Watch Party is a movie screening where comedians are stuck at a public radio station and forced to watch a really bad B-movie with a crowd.

Join us Saturday, October 24, with Texas comics Christopher Breakell and Jason Rodriguez, alongside TPR's Tori Pool, as they riff, roast, and heckle the cult classic Samurai Cop. It's the perfect 18+ date night for anyone who likes their movies bad and their comedy live.

About Samurai Cop: Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about roundhouse kicks, thongs, and katana beheadings. Joe (Matt Hannon, Sylvester Stallone's one-time bodyguard) is the Samurai Cop, a rock of a man who will do literally whatever it takes to punish criminals—even if that means taking dozens of innocent lives in the process. Teamed with a truly hilarious partner (Mark Frazer), Joe embarks on a mindmelting sex-and-violence-fueled adventure against evil ninjas, drug dealers, and genre legend Robert Z'Dar (MANIAC COP)! Directed by prolific Iranian ex-pat Amir Shervan, the reckless and outrageous SAMURAI COP is a true treasure of the trash-action pantheon.

Calling all closet crooners, plucky practicers, and shower singers! Celebrating ten years of partnership, SOLI and Texas Public Radio make this stage San Antonio’s for an afternoon of contemporary classical music, and we want performers like you!

Anyone can ask for a spot: students, teachers, and people who practice after work and on weekends, playing works written after 1970.

TPR carries some of these performances onto Performance Saturday, taking a living room’s worth of preparation all the way to the airwaves. A decade in, the premise holds: new music belongs to everyone!

Admission is free. The link to register as a performer will be available on the concert webpage on October 5, 2026.
