The Texas Current Podcast presented by Texas Home Talk
There's Texas, and then there's the Texas locals actually live in — the Thursday night pickin' circle in Wimberley, the new brewery in Cibolo nobody's writing about yet, the best breakfast taco in a town you've never driven through.
The Texas Current Podcast brings you the food, events, music, and community stories from 24+ towns across the I-35 corridor and the Hill Country. It's the stuff your neighbor would tell you over the fence — if your neighbor happened to spend every week driving between New Braunfels, Boerne, Kyle, and Cedar Park.
