Joe Smallbone


Listen Later

In Fenton, Michigan, the name Joe Smallbone still lingers—like the faint hum of a radio just past the dial. He was the town’s quiet repairman. A man who lived alone in a soot-covered house on Wakeman Street, surrounded by broken machines and rusting cars. Most people knew his name. Fewer knew his story.

This episode traces the life of Joseph Milo Smallbone—from his childhood shaped by absence and illness to the quiet genius of his radio repairs, and the complicated love Fenton showed him in return. It’s not a ghost story. It’s not a tragedy. It’s a reminder that even the quietest lives leave echoes.
