             West Texas Talk — Marfa Public Radio's flagship program — made its debut when the station launched and is now a repository of hundreds of local profiles.
The program features discussions about regional issues and topics with residents and experts. Whether looking at immigration on the border, delving into West Texas history, or having conversations about the Big Bend’s changing towns — we hope to explore the topics that matter most to residents.
The show also celebrates the creative spirit of Far West Texas and features conversations with writers, musicians, filmmakers, and artists who both live here and pass through the region.
The show's theme music was composed by Andy Stack.
