E205: Small Town News Roundup

No small town across the US is immune to "the crazy news story". This week we found 3 "amazingly bizarre crazy news stories"! These are the top-shelf kind; a hungry homeless bank robber taking a lunch break, a cereal restaurant swindler's ultimate con, and a dog-loving bicycle thief whose heart is bigger than his head. Also, fun 80s movie references, letters from listeners, and dog snout sack taps.

About the Podcast

Small Town Scuttlebutt

We react to the overreactions of small town problems.

Making sense of what’s happening in our society is complicated. From the perpetual virtue-signaling to the over-reliance on water bottles, small towns across the globe are facing serious challenges. The man-bun, mommy blogs, and people who consider figure skating a sport; they’re all egregiously wrong!

So, if your typical day is stymied by self-checkout machines that always need an employee override or your inbox is flooded with way too many over-worded emails from your kid’s school, we can commiserate.

Join us as we critically examine these quandaries and more every Tuesday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere else cool podcasts are found.
