Worth Repeating is Texas Public Radio's live storytelling event series turned podcast. From last chances to first tries, from far flung adventures, to hometown cautionary tales, storytellers have seven minutes to tell a great story from our stage, often to sold-out crowds.

Hosted at TPR's Irma & Emilio Nicolas Media Center inside the intimate Malú & Carlos Alvarez Theater & Studios, these events are not to be missed. As we do each year, we're asking you or someone you know to submit a story. Your stories are worth repeating.
2025-2026 season is made possible by the 80/20 Foundation, and the Lifshutz Foundation.
