The KSTX Town Hall is on an ongoing series of forums designed to engage the community on a wide range of issues impacting San Antonio.  Moderated by Texas Public Radio's Terry Gildea, each Town Hall gathers a panel of thought leaders to share their expertise and spark a solution-based conversation about a particular issue.

The Town Halls are free and open to the public.  KSTX invites you to bring your questions and share your insights on the topic of discussion.  KSTX also welcomes e-mail questions and comments to townhall@tpr.org

Each KSTX Town Hall is recorded for broadcast on The Newsmaker Hour, which airs Friday evenings at 7 on KSTX 89.1 FM.  The Newsmaker Hour and the KSTX Town Hall forums are produced by Texas Public Radio's Ernie Villarreal.
