Podcast Town 12 | San Antonio, TEXAS

Beacon Hill, SATX — A Fiesta of Secrets This month, Podcast Town heads to San Antonio's first suburb, Beacon Hill (population: 6,300ish), where things get weird, warm, and watchful. Director Billy Merritt turns the mic on producer/editor Hill Kane to uncover the truth behind: The Blanco Strip The mysterious obelisk traffic circle Why the restaurants are never open And the power of a good neighborhood block connector Meanwhile, the town prepares for its beloved FIESTA celebration... but is something else going on beneath the papel picado? 💡 Featured shows from the Beacon Hill Podcast Network 🎧 The Obelisk Can Communicate Hosted by Kubrick-obsessed Thea Thea and local believer Peter Stevens, this show insists the Beacon Hill obelisk is transmitting messages—and the locals would be wise to obey. 👀 WE ARE WATCHING YOU Ronnie and Penelope are back, and yes, they saw that. Beacon Hill's unofficial (and very nosy) neighborhood watch is on the case, fueled by gossip, binoculars, and good intentions. 🍀 Super Superstition Jazzy and Jonathon Buttons return! Can Jazzy find her annual four-leaf clover in time to prevent disaster? Will Jonathon's unwavering optimism be enough? 🛍️ This episode is made possible by: Julia's French Bistro, Sam Houston's Siesta Shack, Hello Fresh, Ma's Home Cooking, So-Hill Cafe, Beacon Hill Public Library, Don's Rebel Cafe, The Good Luck Store, and the FIESTA Organizing Committee. 🎬 Don't forget to check out our sister show, MOVIE!
