236. The Teri Castillo Interview 

And you’re not already listening to this, you’re not actually into local politics. 

This podcast has extensive coverage of San Antonio and Central Texas’ most pressing political stories. With Gilbert Garcia at the helm, and reoccurring regulars including reporters, editorial board members and miscellaneous untitled staff (ie. Brian  Chasnoff — what does he actually do at the SAE-N??) the facts are accurate even if you don’t always agree with the POV. 

Honestly the biggest mystery is how Texas politicos got their SA fix before this show. Highly recommend.

If you’re into local politics...

This is a great addition to the Express News’s podcast lineup. Gilbert and his regular guests are reporters and columnists covering politics and stories of political import in the San Antonio and South Texas area. I really like that the conversational format allows them to go into greater depth and detail on their stories.
