Podcasts about West Texas

 To find the most reliably conservative area of the United States, look no further than West Texas. Jeff Roche, professor of American history at the College of Wooster in Ohio, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how “cowboy conservativism” spread across the nation, its origins in Christian settlers to the region, and how the towns located in the rural plains influence the rest of the nation. His book is “The Conservative Frontier: Texas and the Origins of the New Right.”  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

The West Texas Exiles are a Texas based band that are making incredible music. They have a new album out, and on today's episode we talked about all kinds of things. The influence of Texas musicians like Buddy Holly and Willie Nelson. How the stark landscape of the western desert impacts them as artists, and how the band has been playing festivals like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and the Luck Reunion. Colin Gilmore is the son of legendary Texas musician Jimmie Dale Gilmore and I feel like you can really hear that in the band. We had a fun conversation while the band was working in their studio, I hope you dig it!

New Era Energy & Digital CEO Will Gray joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the successful completion of Phase One engineering for Texas Critical Data Centers LLC, the company's flagship data center and power development project located in the heart of the Permian Basin of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico. TCDC is structured as a 50/50 joint venture between New Era and Sharon AI, Inc., combining expertise in energy infrastructure and artificial intelligence. Phase One engineering included a comprehensive series of environmental studies — all of which successfully passed review — along with detailed feasibility assessments for data center development and load studies to evaluate long-term energy requirements. Gray confirmed that the next step will be filing a large load interconnection application, a key milestone that will set the foundation for securing reliable energy delivery to the site. Based on the current project timeline, New Era anticipates that initial power delivery could begin as early as 2027. The TCDC campus is being designed to ultimately scale to 1 gigawatt of power capacity, positioning it as one of the largest AI-optimized data center complexes in North America. This ambitious design underscores the growing demand for next-generation data infrastructure capable of supporting artificial intelligence workloads, cloud computing, and high-performance computing applications. The project is further strengthened by previously announced partnerships that will establish behind-the-meter power islands, ensuring reliable energy delivery while maintaining compliance with Texas Senate Bill 6. This legislation, which directly affects large energy consumers like data centers on the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid, requires new operational models for balancing grid reliability with rising power demands. Gray emphasized that completing Phase One engineering validates the constructability and scalability of the TCDC project, providing a clear pathway toward developing a premier energy and data hub that will meet the needs of both AI-driven industries and broader digital infrastructure markets. #proactiveinvestors #neweraheliuminc #nasdaq #nuai #oil #gas #perimianbasin #HeliumProduction #NaturalGas #DataCenters #AIInfrastructure #PecosSlope #VerticalIntegration #EnergyMarkets #PermianBasin #Semiconductors #PowerGeneration #ProactiveInvestors

In this episode of Americana Podcast: The 51st State, host Robert Earl Keen sits down with two of Texas's most revered creative forces—Terry and Jo Harvey Allen. A true artistic duo, their work stretches across music, theater, film, literature, and visual art, each piece carrying the unmistakable edge of West Texas grit and imagination.Terry Allen, celebrated as both a groundbreaking songwriter and a visual artist, has long blurred the lines between mediums, telling stories that are as cinematic as they are deeply personal. Jo Harvey Allen, equally trailblazing, has carved her path as a writer, actress, and performance artist, bringing the raw complexities of American life—especially through women's voices—onto stage and screen.Together, Robert, Terry, and Jo Harvey reflect on decades of creation, collaboration, and connection: from navigating the intersections of music and art to sustaining a marriage and creative partnership that defies convention. It's part one of a conversation as expansive as the plains they call home—an intimate, fearless, and unforgettable look at two artists who continue to shape the Americana landscape.

In this episode of Prayer On the Air, host Angela Montano invites listeners into a field of prayer and healing. Participants share personal requests and reflections:Mary Catherine reflects on caring for her 88-year-old father in West Texas and the unexpected spiritual connection that grew between them despite his atheist beliefs.Monique asks for prayers on her daughter's 29th birthday and sparks a conversation about abundance as a state of being rather than having.Mary seeks healing for back pain and childhood wounds related to her mother.Terry Jo shares about her upcoming hysterectomy, her struggle with trusting doctors, and her skepticism about prayer rooted in losing her mother as a baby.Angela weaves in her own stories—including a humorous account of losing her wallet at a gas station—and reminds us that “life is magical and we need to be open to this magic.” The gathering closes with prayers for healing, abundance, and divine guidance.

Just days after Charlie Kirk's assassination, I sit with Texas Marriage and Family Therapist Jonathan Cogburn for what becomes a profound exploration of faith, courage, and finding hope in dark times. Jonathan shares his journey from being apolitical to openly identifying as conservative, inspired by brave voices who showed him there's nothing shameful about his beliefs.We dive into systems theory concepts like pursuer-distancer patterns that explain both family dynamics and our current cultural moment, discussing how healthy conflict is necessary to prevent accumulated resentment. Jonathan reveals his patient approach to online discourse, treating people as capable of the change he hopes to see, while I grapple with questions of when charity becomes naive.Our conversation weaves through theological perspectives on human worth, the intersection of therapy and faith, and how Christianity offers a practical framework for living with our flawed nature. We tackle the thorny question of whether consequences for those glorifying violence constitute "cancel culture" or a necessary reset of social norms. This episode captures the wrestling many of us are doing right now - how to maintain hope, express truth, and build bridges while protecting ourselves and those we love.Jonathan Cogburn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in West Texas who currently works for an agency that provides a variety of support to school districts in his area  In that role he delivers state-required mental health training to districts, supports rural school counselors and homeless student liaisons, and co-leads a team of licensed professionals and school counselors that respond to crises and disasters.

Ever notice how the ground beneath your feet changes when hiking? From sandy paths to packed dirt trails, paved walkways to rocky terrain—each surface requires a different approach and energy level. What if these changing terrains hold wisdom about the type of travel that would serve you best right now?During a recent solo road trip to West Texas that didn't quite go according to plan, I discovered a powerful metaphor while hiking that perfectly illustrates the relationship between life's seasons and our travel needs. Those sandy stretches where progress feels slow and tiring? They might be signaling you need a trip centered around your passions—music, cooking, hiking—something to restore the joy that daily challenges are slowly depleting. Walking comfortably on packed dirt trails with steady momentum? Your stable life foundation makes you perfectly suited for ambitious multi-city tours or country exploration.Then there are those moments we find ourselves on autopilot, so overwhelmed we're just trying to survive each day.

Here's a full episode package for Kent Hance: The Best Storyteller in Texas, based on the transcript from Trans Hance Salesmanship Speech.txt:

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Deonna Kay, author of the book The Measure of Enough. Deonna Kay is a native Texan. She is the proud mom of a young adult daughter, an over-sized dog, and the fuzziest cat you've ever seen. Her passion for writing began as a child and has carried over into her adult life. She tutors youth in writing and works as a contract reader and editor, providing feedback to other budding writers. She is also a business owner in the world of finance and loves to travel, particularly to Walt Disney World. THE MEASURE OF ENOUGH is her debut, and she's excited to share it with the world.   In my book review, I stated The Measure of Enough is part women's fiction and part psychological thriller. This makes The Measure of Enough a perfect read for those who love strong character development but like twists and turns.   We meet Kacee who runs her own non-profit to help abused women after leaving her hometown full of broken promises, unfulfilled dreams, and an image she can't shake. Although confident at work, she is an emotional wreck on the inside. We soon learn she must use pills and alcohol to make it through her days and her nightmare filled nights.   What's the worst thing that can happen to Kacee? She is called home where she will have to face her mother and her best friend - two people she hasn't spoken to in years. And then there's the matter of her estranged father as well. Add to this the gray truck the seems to follow her everywhere, a home invasion, and cryptic messages telling her to back off.   What does it all mean? And will getting to the bottom of it help Kacee move forward in life - or embroil her further in emotions she doesn't want to face?   This is a great story that deals with mental health issues, abuse (both sexual and physical), addiction, and eating disorders. It is a definite must-read.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Deonna Kay Website: https://deonnakay.com/ FB: @deonnakayauthor IG: @deonnakaybooks   Purchase The Measure of Enough on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4lXxAUf Ebook: https://amzn.to/41FRNXw   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Offering a fresh perspective on the influence of the American southwest—and particularly West Texas—on the New York art world of the 1950s, Three Women Artists: Expanding Abstract Expressionism in the American West (Texas A&M UP, 2022) aims to establish the significance of itinerant teaching and western travel as a strategic choice for women artists associated with traditional centers of artistic authority and population in the eastern United States. The book is focused on three artists: Elaine de Kooning, Jeanne Reynal, and Louise Nevelson. In their travels to and work in the High Plains, they were inspired to innovate their abstract styles and introduce new critical dialogues through their work. These women traveled west for the same reason artists often travel to new places: they found paid work, markets, patrons, and friends. This Middle American context offers us a “decentered” modernism—demanding that we look beyond our received truths about Abstract Expressionism. Authors Amy Von Lintel and Bonnie Roos demonstrate that these women's New York avant-garde, abstract styles were attractive to Panhandle-area ranchers, bankers, and aspiring art students. Perhaps as importantly, they show that these artists' aesthetics evolved in light of their regional experiences. Offering their work as a supplement and corrective to the frameworks of patriarchal, East Coast ethnocentrism, Von Lintel and Roos make the case for Texas as influential in the national art scene of the latter half of the twentieth century.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I dive into Oracle's bold $1 billion-a-year move to power a massive AI-focused data center in West Texas using gas generators.Highlights00:18 — Oracle is set to spend over a billion dollars a year to power a new mega data center in West Texas, using gas generators instead of waiting to be connected to the local utilities. The gas-powered site is being developed by Vantage Data Centers. It will cover 1,200 acres, house 10 data centers, and have a total capacity of 1.4 gigawatts — making it one of the largest in the world.01:00 — So, why spend a billion dollars a year on power generation? The issue is that obtaining approval for power infrastructure projects of this size using local electricity gridscan take years. The balance between progress and environmental impact is not so straightforward. While gas-generated electricity is cleaner than other fossil fuels, it is still far from clean energy.01:33 — I reported a few months back on Microsoft's efforts to mitigate the environmental impact of data centers by changing construction methods, while Oracle recently floated the idea of using nuclear power — a much cleaner alternative to gas. I hope that, in the drive for success in a painfully competitive market, these core values and significant concerns for sustainability are not lost. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Travel expert Jennifer Broome reveals why winter might just be the perfect season to experience America's national parks.Jennifer takes us on a virtual tour of her favorite winter national park destinations, starting with Yellowstone's "season of snow and steam." The park transforms into a magical landscape where wildlife sightings outnumber human encounters, and snowmobiling adventures grant access to geothermal wonders without the crowds. Her vivid descriptions of close encounters with bison, foxes, and coyotes in their natural winter behaviors paint a picture of wilderness experiences rarely available during peak seasons.Just south in Moab, winter brings comfortable temperatures and dramatically fewer visitors to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Jennifer shares insider knowledge from locals about the best months (November and February) and practical tips for safely hiking iconic trails like Delicate Arch and Mesa Arch when patches of ice might be present. Her excitement is palpable when describing how landmarks that typically host hundreds of summer visitors might welcome just twenty wintertime adventurers.For those seeking warmer winter experiences, Big Bend National Park in West Texas offers unique cross-border adventures. Jennifer details the delightful experience of crossing the Rio Grande by rowboat into the small Mexican town of Boquillas, complete with burro rides and authentic cuisine. She rounds out her recommendations with Saguaro National Park near Tucson, Arizona—an International Dark Sky Park where ancient rock art and towering cacti create an otherworldly desert landscape.Beyond just the scenery, Jennifer highlights practical considerations for winter park visits, from utilizing the National Park Service app for offline maps to packing appropriate gear for changing conditions. Her enthusiasm for these off-season adventures reminds us that America's natural wonders offer different but equally spectacular experiences throughout the year.Ready to experience national parks without the crowds?

Episode 4721: The Rumble In The West: Texas Redistricting Fight

Our first story comes from Baker in West Texas, who shares an incredible tale from 1985 about his newborn son's strange sleeping patterns and unexplained nocturnal visitors. What started as puzzling midnight crying episodes soon revealed something far more extraordinary when family members began witnessing shadowy figures hovering over the baby's crib, and blankets mysteriously appearing to keep the infant warm during cold desert nights. We then explore three unsettling encounters submitted by Dell from California's Sierra Nevada mountains, spanning from childhood to motherhood. Her experiences range from a terrifying figure spotted during a lightsaber battle when she was nine years old, to a disturbing bedroom intrusion involving a four-foot creature with glowing yellow eyes approaching her newborn daughter. The final encounter involves phantom voices of her children calling out in the night from outside their remote home - but when Dell checks, both kids are safely asleep in their beds. ⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.

Tiki's story isn't just about going from nothing to something—it's about the man he had to become in the process. We talk about his early years in the roughest parts of West Texas, the moment he found himself behind bars, and the choice he made to rewrite his own future.

“If you don't have time to do it right, what makes you think you'll have time to do it twice?” That timeless quote from legendary coach John Wooden sets the tone for this episode, where Kent Hance explores the power of preparation, the importance of keeping your word, and the consequences of ignoring common sense. In this wide-ranging and deeply engaging episode, Kent shares stories that span decades—from a birthday cake that won political loyalty to a cherry bomb prank that nearly ended in a shootout. He reflects on the value of small gestures, the wisdom of West Texas bankers, and the kind of leadership that earns respect across party lines. Kent also dives into the hot-button issue of immigration, offering candid insights into the political tug-of-war between federal authority and sanctuary cities. With sharp commentary on recent polling data, the role of Tom Homan as border czar, and the evolving stance of mayors in cities like Chicago and Denver, Kent doesn't hold back.
