Voices of Texas is scheduled to return fall 2015 with more fascinating Texans with interesting stories! Recording is beginning September 21, 2015, and we are kicking off the new season of episodes with the story of a historic theater in central Texas.
Voices of Texas is THE podcast about Texans. Listen each episode for real Texans with real stories to tell.
Of course, many more guests are scheduled to be on the show this season. If you know of an interesting Texan who would like to be on the show, please feel free to direct them to my booking calendar.
So glad to have you as a listener! If you have not done so yet, please subscribe with your iOS “Podcasts” app or on Android with the “Stitcher” app, or any other podcast listening app you prefer.
Thank you!

VOT to return this fall
Episode 012 – Sonia Van Meter – Who doesn’t dream of space travel? Setting foot on other worlds, exploring the deepest reaches of space… My guest this week is planning to just that. Sonia Van Meter is one of the finalists for the Mars One Project, a one-way ticket to the Red Planet in an effort to colonize there. Join us as we talk about leaving the earth for good, and the human impact it has.
Episode 011 – David Werst
Episode 010 – Tracy Pitcox has been a radio personality since his teens, working a small-town radio station. Starting a classic country music fan club in the 80’s, he came in contact with celebrities, and others, who brought him memorabilia. This “stuff” eventually made Pitcox open the Heart of Texas Country Music Museum in Brady, Texas. Join us as we talk about the museum, country music, and telling a few stories about celebrities.
Episode 009 – Native Americans shaped both the history and the landscape of Texas. My guest this week, Elizabeth Day, is the founder of the Prickly Pear Living History Museum, a project to bring Native American history to an open air museum near San Antonio, Texas. Join us as she describes her personal journey in getting this project started.
Episode 008 – Gabriel Nila – We all hear stories of how some children in underdeveloped countries are getting a poor education, or that resources are extremely limited there. We don’t stop to think that this problem is happening right here in Texas. Join me with my guest Gabriel Nila, who is organizing parents to build better educational opportunities in the capital city of Austin.
