Podcast Town 16 | Lakeside, California

Rodeo clowns. Radiohead. Room 105. Welcome to Lakeside, CA—population: weird. Host Billy Merritt welcomes ER doctor–turned–improviser Devlyn Corrigan, who takes us on a tour of his dusty hometown: Lakeside, California. What starts as a stroll down Main Street quickly gallops into full-blown rodeo madness, local teen drama, and a possibly haunted motel room. Then, the Podcast Town players transform this dusty slice of Americana into a fully improvised audio fever dream, featuring: 🎸 A Radiohead benefit concert at the rodeo (yes, that Radiohead) 🏨 Creepy conspiracies about Room 105 🐄 Clydesdales, clown training, and hitching fees 🎤 A shaky rendition of the national anthem 🧶 Crochet horse blankets, Dairy Queen showdowns, and mysterious spring water (bonus scene) 💥 Featuring: Billy Merritt (Narrator/Director) Devlyn Corrigan (Special Guest and real person) Fananary Wilson (Not a bananary) Brett Hickory (Clown-in-Training) Gail (Podcast Town's ultimate producer… maybe witch?) 🎧 Best Lines: "Don't stick it in your mouth. ...Sorry, it tastes delicious." "If anything weird happens in Room 105, I'd love to interview you about it." 🛒 Sponsors & Local Businesses Bukkee's Radio Head (not the band) Supply Shop Bud's Big Ass Horse Watch Tilly's Tack Shop Maya's Main Street Crochet Caravan 7-Eleven (Unofficial) 🚨 PSA: Avoid Room 105 at the Lakeside Hotel.
