Beyond Texas with W.F. Strong
As I already have a podcast produced by the Texas Standard, Stories from Texas, I wanted to launch a new one that would go beyond the limits of where my stories are typically corralled. I'm calling it Beyond Texas so that I can share the many inspirational and astounding stories I know that don't fit the theme I'm most known for. Here you will get me, for better or worse, unabridged.

Hills LIke White Elephants is Hemingway's most famous and most discussed short story. And it is short. Less than ten minutes long in audio form. And it is a story that can be argued over with great fervor on all sides because there is so much subtle and symbolic information to support the perspectives of all sides. Ambiguity makes the story one that will call you back to it over and over throughout your life. And you'll never be certain about how it all ends.
