Comedy Of Horrors - Washington Township, Michigan

There’s a particular kind of story that only seems to happen far from the big cities, where everyone knows each other’s business and the local gossip moves faster than the police. Small Town Murder digs into exactly those stories. Each week, hosts James Pietragallo and Jimmie Whisman-both comedians by trade-choose a different small community and pull apart the intricate social fabric that defines it, all before diving into a shocking homicide that shattered the town’s quiet existence. You’ll hear an astonishing amount of detailed research, painting a vivid picture of the place and the people involved, followed by the tragic, often bizarre, details of the crime itself. The unique appeal of this podcast lies in the hosts’ ability to balance that grim reality with a comedic, conversational tone that never disrespects the victims but finds the absurdity in the criminals and the situations surrounding them. It’s a blend of true crime curiosity and laugh-out-loud commentary that has built a dedicated audience. New episodes arrive every Thursday, offering a deep, oddly entertaining, and thoroughly human look at the darkest events in the most unexpected places.
