In today's All Things Considered local block from the KERA Newsroom:

Dallas will not host the 2024 Summer Olympics, but four other U.S. cities are still in the running. But Big D is very much in the mix as the city to host the 2016 Republican National Convention, and some say Dallas' ability to raise millions is a big reason why.

You can listen to the segment weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
