On Monday, February 18 at 7 pm, Marfa Public Radio will broadcast a special episode of Texas Public Radio's "The Source" with David Martin Davies.
The entire nation is talking about what's happening at the U.S.-Mexico border. Now, it's time for the border to speak for itself.
Public radio stations along the Rio Grande from Brownsville to El Paso are teaming up for a historic borderwide conversation during this special live broadcast.
The wall, national security, troop deployments, razor wire and political uncertainty – how is it all impacting life at the border?
