The Shape of Texas ~ Listen & Learn

The Shape of Texas ~ Listen and Learn

The Shape of Texas is a radio program that is broadcast through NPR-affiliated stations. It provides vividly descriptive information about contemporary and historical architecture and places in our state which defines the culture and heritage of Texas. The program seeks to lead listeners to look at our "built environment" with a "fresh and knowing eye." I listened to several of the tracks today and learned a lot that I previously didn't know, adding to my appreciation of my home state.

The online archive includes mp3 audio of Volumes 1 thru 467 as well as photographs for selected episodes. To listen to episodes click here, Episode Index, for a list of The Shape of Texas tracks. Enjoy!

Shirley - It is really wonderful when various parts of the country understand and preserve their architectural and cultural heritage. This summer, I spent a great deal of time with grandkids, or by myself just traveling around to various communities within an hour or so of my home which were connected to the California Gold Rush. . .It was absolutely wonderful to see so much of our history preserved for future generations.

Howdy there Shirley

You have turned into The Grand State of Texas. The Shape of Texas, sure sounds like a rally fine program to listen to.

Shirley I will bookmark and come back and check it out. I'm running short of time this evening. Please drop by the Water Cooler and give us an update on your hubby. Our prayers for you and your family.

Hi Shirley, I think they should have something like this in Illinois. Sorry I haven't been around lately!

Hi Shirley... What happened to your smiling face? I am a big fan of Texas, but a bigger fan of Shirley!

Hi Shirley, I did not recognize your new avatar -- I'm sure the radio program is interesting, it's always nice to hear about our history.

Now, Dale and Carl & Ceil have concerned me - so I hope all is well with you and yours and bring back "my" Shirley- you are so much prettier than the flag. :-)

Hi, Shirley:

Take care, and bring your smiling face back, as your other friends say!

Cheers,

This is a great source to have...I tried to find something similar about Oklahoma State but haven't found it yet...I guess TX architecs are more active ... I will be coming to TX - Austin and San Antonio in about two weeks for Sporting Clays National Championships ... plan to visit Fredericksburg, Luchenbach, Kerville and around...Love Hill Country and great German food! Maybe we can get together for a little?
