Hosts Mike Payne and Camy Reynolds have spent more than a decade building relationships with the people steering the county, from elected officials and business leaders to developers and local voices. Those relationships give them a vantage point most people don't have, and they bring it to every episode.


From water and infrastructure to growth, economic development, transportation, and local politics, Wilco 360 breaks down what's really happening across the county, the stuff that shapes life here but rarely gets explained well. Each episode also features recurring segments like Wilco Wins, a look at something good happening locally, and Fact or Fiction, where Mike and Camy take on a local hot topic and call it straight.


If you live, work, or build in Williamson County, this is your seat at the table.

Russ Phillips Ep 2: The Buyer's Market and Where Wilco Grows Next ft. Russ Phillips Inventory is up, prices are coming down, and interest rates have settled in the mid sixes. For episode two of Wilco 360, Mike Payne and Camy Reynolds sit down with Russ Phillips, a 25-year Georgetown agent fresh off his 1,000th MLS closing, to talk about what the Williamson County market actually looks like right now.

They get into why Russ calls it a buyer's market even though a lot of people won't say it out loud, the sellers who act like their front porch deserves a historical marker, and the two to three week window a listing gets before serious buyers move on. He shares the numbers he's tracked since June 2022 (Georgetown's west side went from 364 active listings to 1,059, Hutto from 147 to 514), why resale sellers are losing to builders advertising $40,000 in savings across the freeway, and how a generation got taught that three percent was normal.

They also look at where the growth is headed next, from the 29 corridor and Santa Rita Ranch to the 195 corridor toward Florence and the Amazon and tech jobs coming to Georgetown's east side. Fact or Fiction takes on the three letters that get neighbors riled up faster than anything else: do HOAs do more good than harm? Then rapid fire closes it out with the best place to buy, the biggest risk of 2026, and one word for today's market.

Wilco 360 covers the issues, the opportunities, and the people behind the decisions shaping Central Texas.

Mayor Josh Schroeder Ep 1: Georgetown's Growth, Water, and Data Centers ft. Mayor Josh Schroeder Georgetown was just named the number one boomtown in America, and for the first episode of Wilco 360, Mike Payne and Camy Reynolds sit down with Georgetown Mayor Josh Schroeder to talk about what that growth actually looks like up close.

They get into the Samsung plant in Taylor and the ripple effect it's having across Williamson County, the city's six-year push to secure water for the next hundred years, and why Schroeder says anyone promising to lower your water bill is lying to you. They cut through the noise on data centers, walk through the new county jail and justice center coming to Georgetown and the concerns around its location, and break down the CAMPO transportation projects about to reshape the east side.

Two new recurring segments debut this week too. Wilco Wins highlights something good happening in the county, and Fact or Fiction puts a local hot topic on trial. First question up: do developers really control local government?
