The Rebound 915 Podcast shares tips for recording El Paso history

The Rebound 915 Podcast has shared advice from host Doug Rutter on how to record local history before it is lost. The El Paso podcast preserves documentary-style conversations with the athletes, coaches, entrepreneurs, civic leaders, artists and changemakers who shaped El Paso and the Borderland. New episodes are generally released weekly.

Rutter's first tip is to talk to the people who lived the moment, instead of working only from records of it. The podcast's interviews capture the setbacks, relationships and decisions that headlines and final scores can leave out. A second tip is to give each story room. Episodes run as documentary-style conversations rather than short clips. A third tip is to organize what you record so it can be found later. A fourth is to publish where people already listen. Episodes are available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.

Rebound 915 groups its own work by season and by special edition. Season 1, Origins of Resilience, covers the people who helped shape El Paso sports culture. Season 2, Legends, Leaders & Legacy, features coaches and figures behind defining Borderland moments. Special editions include the Legacy & Leadership Edition, on discipline, accountability, purpose and enduring leadership. The Trooper Edition, on the 1976 Eastwood Troopers state basketball championship. 66 CHAMPS, on the 1966 Texas Western Miners and the championship that changed college basketball. An edition on Hall of Fame coach Don Haskins. And one on El Paso athlete Stephanie Han. The tips are aimed at anyone in the Borderland who wants to record a family, team or community story. Listening is free on the platforms listed above.

First-hand accounts of local moments are held by the people who were there, and those accounts are not always written down. The podcast records them as conversations and keeps them in one place for listeners in El Paso and beyond. The Rebound 915 Podcast is part of The Rutter Organization, which started as an El Paso tax practice in 1988 and now covers tax services, investments, real estate, media, historical preservation and philanthropy, with offices in El Paso and Las Vegas. The US News covered the podcast on September 25, 2026, highlighting how it preserves the stories behind El Paso's defining moments.

New episodes continue to be released on a generally weekly schedule across both seasons and the special editions.
