Hey everyone! After 30 episodes over two seasons, we've decided to put The Littlest Headline to bed. We'll all be heading off to college soon, but we will cherish our time here forever. Thank you very much to all of you who supported us this far. Your listenership means a lot to us and we're glad that you were there to learn everything about this weird little country of ours from so many different points of view. Our very last episode features outdated springtime happenings, pottery-based MPRs, fish hatchery renovation updates, and mayoral items of importance. Special features: our predictions for the end of the world, and a voice from the past...

Come with us one last time, listener. Watch the sun set ever so peacefully on this beautiful journalism journey in Spooner, Wisconsin.

In this episode, we read from the following articles in the Spooner Advocate (courtesy of the Adams Publishing Company, via apg-wi.com):
"City Council Recognizes Outgoing Mayor For Her Work" by Regan Kohler (Apr. 18, 2024)
"Historic Fish Hatchery Building in Spooner to Get Upgrade" (Apr. 11, 2024)
"Outdoor Report: Spring Returns, Nature Awakens!" contributed by the Wisconsin DNR (Mar. 29, 2019)
We also looked at these events from the website's event calendar:
"Chad Kostner | Live at Brickyard Pottery" at May 18, 7:00PM-9:00PM
"Chicken Wire Empire" at Aug. 16, 6:00PM-10:00PM

Rowan brought the nice article. Moses brought the crazy one. Yony's trying his best to say "absurd" without getting all that heat from the other two. Watch out for mountain lions though. They're everywhere. Well, not everywhere. Just here with us, with you, in Ketchum, Idaho! Back away slowly while maintaining eye contact.

In this episode, we read from the following articles in the Idaho Mountain Express:
"More Mountain Lion Sightings Reported in Valley" by Andrew Guckes (Feb. 14, 2024)

Hey. It's Yony. I say "golf" weird. Yes, I know. I won't pretend I don't hear the difference. But I'm owning it. It's too late now. Anyway, I'm writing to you to extol all the virtues of Tupper Lake. It's got lakes. It's got varsity bowling. It's got golf-course-to-ski-course magic. It's got extremely strong senior citizens. And, of course, the Tupper Lake Free Press to document it all! Come on down!

In this episode, we read from the following articles in the Tupper Lake Free Press:

Picture a map of the U.S. Now zoom in to New Mexico. Good. Zoom in to Taos County. Then just the northern part of it. Then into the library. See all the kids' art? Isn't it great? Now make your way on over this way to be serenaded by a lovely duo, along with wine and treats! You'll need to cross that bridge--yes, I know it's made entirely of popsicle sticks and glue. No, we tested it. It's very, very sturdy. So cross all the bridges in Questa, New Mexico at your leisure!

Not to do a bandwagon appeal thing, but have you looked into why so many people visited Harrodsburg, Kentucky in 2023? Maybe it's because of the constant trivia, karaoke, and live music. Maybe it's because of the chess. Maybe it's because they drive real safe in the winter. Maybe it's the TEEN GAME ZONE. TEEN GAME ZONE. TEEN GAME ZONE. ENTER THE TEEN GAME ZONE. IN HARRODSBURG, KENTUCKY.

In this episode, we read from the following articles in The Harrodsburg Herald:

We've always believed this podcast is supposed to be funny and somewhat educational. And after making this episode? Well, consider us educated. Do you know what it means to "chunk your punkin?" Do you know how to make a corndog different than other corndogs? Do you know which color comes from outer space? Well, we do. Sort of. We didn't end up giving definitive answers to all of those. But if you want to expand your intellectual horizons, we've got the place for you to do it. Join us this episode in White Pine County, Nevada!

In this episode, we read from the following articles in the Bristlecone Tribune:
“Punkin Chunkin’ Back This Weekend During the Eclipse” (Oct. 13, 2023)
