Lone Star Lore uncovers the myths, truths, and untold stories of Texas — not to rewrite the past, but to widen the lens.
Hosted by filmmaker Matthew Thornton and written by historian Joleene Maddox Snider, the series pairs immersive narration and cinematic sound with expert guests who help us ask better questions:
What happens when a place this vast and mythologized tries to agree on one story?
Who owns Texas history?
And how do the stories we inherit still shape who we are today?
Episodes release monthly on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms. Follow the show to rediscover Texas—its contradictions, complexities, and continued influence on the American story.
