Postcards from Texas is a weekly 30-minute show that focuses on the history of Houston and Southeast Texas. Each week we'll feature three stories, shot documentary-style that will cover a mix of famous people from our region's past, notable events and interesting places both present and lost, and always with the core idea to make history accessible and fun.

No matter the subjects, we promise you'll learn something new about our area's fascinating past that has helped to carve out our present and the future to come.
