  • The town that ate Kevin Bacon - U-Turn
    Picture this: in the quaint corners of Morrice, Michigan, one local resident found themselves overcome with an unusual craving—one for a taste of Kevin Bacon! No, not the Hollywood heartthrob, but a much younger, unsuspecting namesake. Fear not, dear listeners, for the real Kevin Bacon remains as sprightly as ever, twirling in his iconic dance moves. But alas, the same cannot be said for his doppelgänger from Morrice.

    Join your hosts Karmen and Jessica as they navigate this bizarre tale, which takes a sharp turn into the realm of cannibalism with a small-town twist. Prepare to lose your appetite as they dissect the curious case of mistaken identity, leaving no stone unturned in their quest for answers. From gossip gone awry to the shocking repercussions of culinary curiosity, this episode serves up a feast of intrigue and disbelief.

    So grab your snacks, but perhaps opt for something non-human, and join Karmen and Jessica as they take a U-Turn to Morrice, Michigan where truth is often stranger than fiction, and even the most innocent of cravings can lead to unexpected consequences!

  • The town that slept with half of the police department
    Journey to the small town corners where everyone knows your name, your business, and the color of your underwear before you've even bought them. Join Jessica and Karmen as they play the game of telephone...on steroids. They'll dissect how Mrs. Johnson's lost cat turned into a rumored panther sighting and led to the establishment of a neighborhood watch program, complete with night vision goggles and camo gear donated by the local thrift shop. These rapid-fire rumors aren't just funny—they're a binding glue in these tight-knit communities. Don't miss your exit.

  • The town that googled Florida Man
    What would you do if you got stuck at the bottom of an outhouse for 3 days? Have you ever heard about the mysterious appearance of Jesus as a shadow on a freezer?

Take a stroll down south with Jessica and Karmen, as they try not to laugh. Don't miss your exit.
