WTX - A History of West Texas
Welcome to West Texas. Where the sky stretches on forever, and the stories are as vast and rugged as the landscape itself. On this podcast we will explore the characters who have etched their names into the sun bleached history of this region. From outlaws and lawmen, to everyday folks who dared to dance with destiny, host Jody Slaughter explores the legends, the truths, and the tall tales that define this undefinable region.

Welcome to Season 2 of WTX: A History of West Texas! In this episode, we’re starting at the very beginning. Not the beginning of cowboy stories or Comanche raids — the beginning. Before the first human foot ever stepped onto the Llano Estacado. Before the great herds roamed, before the rivers carved their canyons, before the very Caprock stood sentinel. We’ll come face to face with Columbian mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and even dinosaurs. Each once king of these plains.
