Podcasts about West Texas

Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver are joined by Riley Rodriquez, who's running for Texas State Senator as a Democrat in District 28, for another round of spirited discussion and debate.Riley shares his vision for West Texas and outlines some of his biggest concerns for the district — from managing the expected population boom tied to the influx of new data centers, to tackling the rise in housing costs across rural communities. They also dive into what it's like running as a Democrat in one of the reddest parts of Texas, and Riley breaks down what voters need to know ahead of the upcoming Constitutional election.

In the 1980s, the tiny town of Arcadia, Florida, was “fifty miles and fifty years from Sarasota.” With its cowboy roots, low-wage agricultural industries, and violent frontier history, Arcadia was a curious mix of the desolate ranchlands of West Texas and the stately homes and bitter race relations of the South. In A Town without Pity, award-winning author Jason Vuic recounts two heartbreaking stories from Arcadia that rose to national prominence at the end of the Reagan era and forced the town to reckon with not only AIDS hysteria but also the legacies of a racist past. This book delves into the case of James Richardson, a Black migrant worker accused in 1967 of poisoning his seven children. Richardson spent twenty years in prison due to suppressed evidence for a crime he didn't commit. Vuic also tells the story of the public mistreatment of the three Ray brothers, white school-age children with hemophilia who contracted the HIV virus from a tainted medicine called factor VIII. The Rays were barred from attending their local church and school, and when their house burned down in a mysterious arson, reporters dubbed Arcadia the “town without pity.”Through extensive use of newspapers, court records, and interviews, Vuic shows how the actions of authorities and residents left little room for the voices that spoke up against bias, harassment, and coercion. At the same time, this cautionary tale places Arcadia as a microcosm of many small towns in the late twentieth-century United States, reminding readers of the staying power of social divisions and prejudice even after the achievements of the civil rights movement. A TOWN WITHOUT PITY: AIDS, Race, and Resistance in Florida's Deep South—Jason Vuic

West Texas is a reliably hard-red political stronghold. In the last presidential election, the region voted about 80% for Donald Trump. West Texas is the reddest place in the country, according to Jeff Roche, author of "The Conservative Frontier." He says cowboy conservatism is rooted in the dusty landscape. But how well does that political philosophy serve the communities of West Texas?

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.

Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver are joined by Riley Rodriguez, who is running as a Democrat for Texas State Senator in District 28.They cover a wide range of topics, including what inspired Riley to enter the race, the issues he sees facing rural West Texas, and how he plans to address them if elected. While there are plenty of differences in opinion and a fair share of spirited debate, the conversation serves as a strong example of how civil discourse can and should take place in America today.

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. Surprisingly, these "paved pathway" phases call for wellness retreats or spa getaways—controlled environments that provide restoration without requiring you to make decisions. And those rocky paths demanding your constant attention? When life has you carefully navigating multiple challenges, cruises or organized group tours remove the burden of planning while still giving you the escape you desperately need.This isn't about running away from life's difficulties but gaining fresh perspectives that transform how we navigate them upon return. In my one-on-one travel coaching, we assess exactly where you are in life's journey and design travel experiences that meet you right where you stand. Whether you're trudging through sand or picking your way across rocks, there's a perfect travel experience waiting for you.Ready to discover what terrain you're walking and what type of travel would serve you best?

The quartet, made up of members hailing from El Paso, Amarillo, and Lubbock, draws inspiration from all squares of the Texas music quilt, from Willie to Buddy and everyone in between.

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?

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

From the Streets to the Boardroom: How Tiki Davis Turned Pain into Power Some people get knocked down and never recover. Others get knocked down, rise up, and change the game. My brother Tiki Davis is one of the rare ones who took every single setback—poverty, injustice, incarceration—and turned it into the fuel that built his empire. And in this conversation, we go deep into the truth about what it really takes to rise when the odds are stacked against you. 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. He opens up about the mentors who poured into him, the faith that kept him moving, and the grit it took to rebuild a life from scratch when everyone counted him out. What hits you when you hear Tiki speak is that this isn't theory—this is lived experience. We talk about what it's like to carry the weight of your past into every room, and how to turn that weight into the thing that makes you unshakable. Tiki shares the mindset shifts that helped him transform his identity, build multiple businesses, and become a force for change in his community. If you've ever felt written off, if you've been told you're too far gone, or if life has hit you harder than you think you can stand—this episode is proof that your story is not over. Tiki's life is a reminder that pain is a classroom, faith is a compass, and resilience is a choice you get to make every single day. Key Takeaways: How to turn your past struggles into the foundation for future success The moment Tiki decided to rewrite his story and walk a new path The role of faith and mentorship in overcoming impossible odds How to use pain as fuel instead of letting it become your prison Why your identity—not your circumstances—defines your destiny The mindset shifts that can turn a setback into a setup for greatness Your circumstances don't get the final say—you do. Listen now, and let this story light a fire in you. — Max Out.
