For High Plains Public Radio Readers Book Club, I’m Shane Timson from Colby, Kansas. Today I’m talking about the book Late Migrations: A Brief History of Love and Loss by Margaret Renkl. No doubt this fall reading season has been very difficult as we have dealt with grief in different ways.

What began as an act of kindness to provide a final resting place for a pioneer child has become the Llano Cemetery in Amarillo, Texas.

This week, Luke is talking big bore air rifles that shoot both slugs and shot, the Umarex Primal 20 (www.umarexusa.com). The rifle shoots a big 395 grain rifled slug, as well as shot for birds or small game. Luke also talks about a recent hunt on the Choctaw Hunting Lodge (www.choctawhuntinglodge.com) in SE Oklahoma, where his good friend Larry Weishuhn took a boar with a Primal 20 and was very impressed with the power of this heavy duty big bore air rifle that pressured to 4,000 psi. Contact Luke through his website, www.catfishradio.org!

Tune in to Classical Music Amarillo this week to revisit music performed by the Amarillo Symphony in January of 2025!

We're just seeing our first frosts, and now can be a great time to do a bit of pruning on your fruit trees. While it won't make as much difference this year, you can make a difference in preventing disease, as well as ensuring water for the tree over the winter, and also by helping it to survive over the winter. We'll talk more about what you can do in this week's episode!

Hello, this is Clifton Butt. I’m an English teacher in Amarillo, Texas, and I’m here to briefly discuss the collection of essays Late Migrations by Margaret Renkl.

Hi, I’m Shelley Armitage here for Poets on the Plains. I’m an emerita professor and writer who grew up in the small ranching and farming community of Vega, Texas west of Amarillo. Today I’d like to share a few ideas and a poem with you. Writing about and living on the plains are dear to my heart.

This is Tracy Floreani in central Oklahoma with a commentary on the last book in the fall 2025 High Plains Public Radio Readers Club. Late Migrations: A Natural History of Love and Loss, by Margaret Renkl, is a bit hard to categorize, but it’s mostly a memoir told through a series of very short essays.

Today we’ll take you out to the ball game. Though we won’t buy you some peanuts and crackerjack, we’ll have another type of treat. We’ll tell you the story of a tiny town in Haskell County, Kansas that had a semi-pro baseball team in the 1950s, and of the top-notch uniforms they wore.
