This week On The Record with Randy Beamer, we visit with Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones, who talks about the city’s recently-passed budget, public health, and her continued concerns about Project Marvel, including the ballot language that doesn’t disclose the $311-million dollar price tag.
Next, we visit with documentary producer Brandon Seale about his project the Battle of Medina. We’ll hear about the surprising finds he has uncovered just south of San Antonio, and why so many people have never even heard of this bloody battle.
On Reporter’s Roundtable, Michael Karlis, reporter for the San Antonio Current, shares details on his story about the public relations push by the Spurs to get voter support for Proposition B, and why the Spurs borrowed a hyper-local restaurant dish to garner attention.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
