Marfa for Beginners is a tourism podcast for locals, celebrating the myths and realities you might not know about. -

StoryCorps is coming to Marfa this month, so we’re airing a selection of our favorite stories from their visit back in 2020. -
StoryCorps will be in Marfa from Feb. 16 to March 10. -
