  • Hi, everyone. This is Mildred Rugger from Canyon, Texas, for the 2025 Fall Read of HPPR Radio Readers Book Club. If you heard my first book byte on Late Migrations: A Natural History of Loss and Love by Margaret Renkl, you may not be surprised to find that the ideas I will examine in this second book byte involve the natural world and the human world.
  • This week Classical Music Amarillo is revisiting some of the many highlights from Chamber Music Amarillo’s 2024-2025 season.
  • Most of us think of the end of growing season as a time to clear the garden, clean the tools, and prep things for spring. But the brave among us will let things go for a while longer...just long enough to get some overnight frost, just before they harvest the last vegetables from their growing space. This lets nature work its magic, and leads to richer and more flavorful crops...not with all garden plants, but with a few veggies that we'll discuss in this week's show!

    Hello Radio Readers. I’m Julie A. Sellers for the HPPR Radio Readers Book Club. Late Migrations: A Natural History of Love and Loss by Margaret Renkl is a memoir that is part meditation on life, death, and grief, and part collection of vignettes about the author’s family and home.
