This week on Texas Country Reporter, we meet a vintage Volkswagen fanatic who repairs, restores, and forges community around these “happy cars.” His passion reminds us why nostalgia matters in a throwaway society.

Then we mosey out to the High Plains of Lubbock, Texas, to meet a producer and sound engineer stamping his mark on the legacy of West Texas music. He’s pushing barriers and helping musicians change the world… all from the Hub City.
