Summer in Argyle
5.0/5
Critic Rating
One town. One murder. One million hot dogs.Welcome to Argyle. Grab a hot dog and allow town narrator Jeremy Zax (Bob Odenkirk) to regale you with this region’s rich history! Founded in 1843 by settlers with their sights set on California, these brave souls grew too tired and instead settled for Ohio. Argylites love to celebrate the spirit of “close enough,” like that of Richie McDonough (Brian Posehn) a young man who was a stupendous substitute bowler that never bowled and instead kept the bench warm. His untimely, mysterious death in the Summer of 2013 is Argyle’s darkest secret. Hear how...

"Summer in Argyle is a generational Odenkirk-ian effort. Though Summer in Argyle was borne out of the Odenkirks’ rigorous work ethic, the podcast is an unabashed celebration of all things mediocre. Yes, Summer in Argyle also makes room for that most reliable of podcast ropes: a mysterious murder – one of the town’s precisely one murder per year. That’s not an average, mind you, but a bizarre phenomenon."
