Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 94: Where's The Basement? Pee-Wee's Impact At The Alamo
Starting this week, a new treasure goes on display at the Alamo. It’s not a battle weapon or a document. It’s a red Schwinn bicycle made famous by Pee-wee Herman as his unforgettable quest to find his missing bike takes him, of all places, to the Alamo.
We reveal how this bicycle has driven a new generation of visitors to the Alamo, how you can be among the first to see it, and why the Alamo is embracing this piece of Hollywood history. Featuring the Alamo's Senior Historian Ernesto Rodriguez.
