I mostly listen to podcasts from another network but I came across the town show and have become a huge fan. Mark and Ryan (and Chris!) are fantastic. Amazing improvisers, such funny, creative, and wholesome humans, and such gracious hosts. I truly love the lore of the town and everything they create.
Fun
The best intro song in the biz and a dang shame they’re cuttin it short! Two very clever comedian/improvisers with great chemistry (listen to Let’s Make a Horror if you haven’t yet) design a town with guests week to week. Seriously fun. The scenes might be my favorite part, and I hope we can duck back to visit old characters at some point! I would listen to Barnaby Advises every week if I could.
This show is hilarious and cozy. I wish I was less of an introvert soI had more people to suggest it to! I've listened to every episode multiple times and am always looking forward to the next episode dropping. Keep up the great work, guys! <3 from Las Cruces, NM.
Hilarious baby. Love the Vancouver lore
