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."
