The Littlest Headline

The Littlest Headline

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...

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 Expres...

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 do...

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...

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.

The Christmas energy this episode is wild, y'all. Things get broken, people get confused, murals get replaced, humans get turkey-fied, hot sauce gets investigated, eggnog gets mentioned. Wild. And it's all right here in Powell, Wyoming!

In this episode, we read from the following articles in the Powell Tribune:
“Police Investigate Single Taco Bell Hot Sauce Packet Delivered to Gillette Woman’s Home” (Dec. 7, ...

Imagine a haunted house. No, scarier. Now, imagine a chili. No, yummier. Finally, imagine a fish. NO. LARGER! HEAVIER! MORE SENTIMENTAL! All this, and more (so, so much more) can be found right here, right now, in Mobridge, South Dakota. Come here right now. No, faster!

In this episode, we read from the following articles in the Mobridge Tribune:

Go outside right now. Look around you. Look at all the beautiful things! Aren't they beautiful? What's that? Is that a crumbly rhubarb pie? Yummy! Is that a horse? No! It's a Norse! And...oh. It looks like the courthouse is still being repaired (allegedly). That's fine, though. Just take pictures! Of everything! For your documentary of Crosby, North Dakota!

Who loves breakfast*? Who loves PG-13 puppet shows? Who loves crazy goats? Is it you? We hope so, because we've already brought you along with us to West Liberty, Iowa, and we forgot to buy a return ticket!

*Potatoes not provided. You should bring your own though.

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 ...

Whatever your ideal first date is, it's wrong. Here's the ideal first date: we start off by looking at shiny rocks and "polished shapes," whatever those are. Then, we go to dinner. Nothing special about the dinner. Just A LOT of pulled pork. We finish off the night with a bluegrass concert that has not one, but two opening acts. Worried about all the driving? That's the best part! You can do ALL those thing...

Breaking news! We're back and better than ever! Get ready for Season 2 of The Littlest Headline, coming to podcast apps and local newspapers** near you on October 30th!

**Not really. You can't actually put a podcast into a newspaper. Trust us, we tried. Something about an "audio-only medium" being incompatible with a "piece of paper." Whatever.

What are geese afraid of? What are you afraid of? Is it Uncle Sam? Is it geese? Are geese afraid of Uncle Sam? How do we get rid of these geese? They're everywhere! Me and my homies can't reside on the lake anymore cause of all these dang geese! Help! What's in it for you? How rude. What if I threw in a pancake breakfast? Okay. Deal. You'll need to come over to Andover, New Hampshire, though!

So, does anyone know how to say "slough" correctly? We might. But we're not sure. We just won't say it anymore. Here's some things we do know: if you're looking for a town with a) sick convenience stores that bring everyone together and just emit good vibes, b) an egg-based rating system to assess the goodness of your day (granted, we're technically the ones that made that up), and c) adorable fer...

SHHHHH! Be quiet. He's a light sleeper. The Barbecue Baby. He's napping right here. Don't make a sound or you'll wake him up. You don't wanna do that. Trust me. Go find some plastic eggs in a state park or something. And, if you're gonna smoke weed, not around the baby. And don't forget the 3% weed tax. And only if you legally can. And only if YOU want to. Peer pressure is always lurking around th...

Here is a list of things that should be measured in quarts: soup (there is a lot of soup in this episode). Here is a list of things that should not be measured in quarts: meat (which there is also a lot of in this episode). Here is a list of things you should do with beach trash to bring more awareness to pollution: make clothes out of it, show off those clothes on the runway, win second place in a trash-based fashion show.

Have YOU marked your calendar for Mom Prom?  No? Why? Ah, I see. You're too busy preparing for the Cowboy Day cornhole tournament. What? You're not going to that either? What's wrong with you? Oh, yes. Of course. Too busy on your quest to find The Perfect Chicken. Well, I've got some bad news. It's already been found by a team of restauranteurs who are going to build a chicken joint on the road. Yeah. Like,...

Alright, we read the Humboldt Chronicle, and here's the working theory: the state of Tennessee is populated entirely by children. Conceptually, that is. Some of its denizens still look, act, and age like adults. But, like, they're kids. On a spiritual level. Metaphysically speaking. We wouldn't expect you to get it. We don't really get it, if we're being honest. Also in this episode: a terrible icy disaster...

How much sweat do you need to kill a tansy ragwort? Do physical comedy and golf mix well together onstage (of course they do)? What's the most effective way to recreate the sound of a door slamming? Without, of course, actually slamming a door. We couldn't do that. Here, on live radio? Don't be ridiculous. You silly goose. Come with us, silly goose, as we find the answers to these questions in the Villages of Mount H...

Isn't every baseball game basically just a Civil War reenactment with wooden bats? Have you got what it takes to be the next world-renowned child? Do you want a "free" "roof" for your "building" (which, when you think about it, is essentially just a huge basket)? Yeah, that was a loaded question. A lot to take in. You need a vacation.
