The Hill of Beans Podcast
Real Life. Hard Talks. Hot Topics.

Let’s be real — life can feel like a mess of opinions, drama, and half-brewed advice. But around here, we’re not afraid to spill it all.

Welcome to The Hill of Beans Podcast, where host EZRA HILL and CASEY LUCAS serve up real-life conversations about everything that actually matters — and a few things that don’t, but still make us laugh (or lose our minds). From relationships and regrets to culture, parenting, identity, and second chances, nothing is off the table.

We’re here for the stuff people whisper about... and we’re saying it into a mic.

☕ Hard talks without the fluff
🔥 Hot takes with heart
💬 Conversations that count — even if they don’t amount to a hill of beans

Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Unexpected.
If you’re tired of small talk and ready for the real stuff, pull up a chair.

Recorded at JoeAkeStudios Greenwood IN
