Beyond Texas with W.F. Strong
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.

Listen to the last episode:
Often listed as one of the top ten best short stories ever written in America, The Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, by Ambrose Bierce remains, even today, a particularly haunting story for everyone who has ever read it, or seen the Twilight Zone episode based on the story which Rod Serling aired in 1961.
