    1 week ago | marfapublicradio.org | Travis Bubenik

    Editors note: The Texas House passed an additional 8 bills on Wednesday afternoon, bringing up the chamber's total number of bills passed this session to 16.

  • Desert Dispatch Vol. 41

    1 month ago | marfapublicradio.org | Mitch Borden

    As the Paramount+ show “Landman” begins production on its second season, Marfa Public Radio’s Mitch Borden caught up with Christian Wallace, the co-creator of the series, to talk about its first season and what it was like to go from reporting on the Permian Basin to creating a hit show about it.  The oil field that stretches out across West Texas can be a brutal place. Toxic gas leaks out of old wells. A spark at the wrong time can ignite an explosion.
