Introducing the "This Is Stockton" Podcast

Here at Visit Stockton, we pride ourselves on showcasing everything great Stockton has to offer. With fantastic restaurants serving up delicious food, eclectic local businesses and retailers, a rich variety of agriculture and farms, beautiful parks and trails, and a widely diverse community of different cultures and orientations, Stockton is a booming city worthy of recognition. Its our privilege to show-off every aspect Stockton has to offer through blogs, digital marketing, social media, and of course, thrilling live community events. And now, we’ve added another element to our collective utility belts: a podcast!

On "This Is Stockton," Visit Stockton CEO Wes Rhea, Visit Stockton’s Director of Marketing Amy Alpers, and Visit Stockton’s Content Manager and “pop culture enthusiast” Anthony Esteves present a unique look at everything going down in our beloved “Brick City.”

Wes is nothing short of a “Stockton Wiseman,” providing extensive knowledge on the city and anything occurring within its city limits, as well as San Joaquin County in general. Amy provides a viewpoint of a returning resident, having been born and raised in the city, having left for school and work, and now returning to her hometown. Plus, she’ll give updates and even hints of what’s to come in our city. Meanwhile, Anthony will be digging deep into any and all of Stockton’s history and pop culture connections. Whether it’s Hollywood productions in the city, well known athletes, artists, and entertainers born here or having resided here, and some unknown history dating back to the city’s birth. In some cases, Anthony’s stories may go a little “dark and ominous” for those into the spooky content…

Along with our trio from the Visit Stockton crew, the show will feature a wide variety of Stockton guests to chat about their connections here. From the owner of Terra Coffee to the CEO of StocktonCon, all guests from all walks of life will be on the mic, talking about their love and support of Stockton. No matter the background or field, "This Is Stockton" is here to shine a large light on everything our home has to offer our community.
