Small Town News
Welcome to Small Town News, located at the intersection of hardcore journalism and jelly-filled comedy. Each episode we read articles from small town newspapers from around the United States and use them to inspire improv stories. We've got fireworks filled with rattlesnakes. We've got a parade of painfully bad accents. We've got no idea what states border Michigan. But no matter where the story ends, it's all 100% true. Promise. Check our sources. Seriously.

Episode 6
We're back with a full episode! This week we are in Geneseo, Illinois...or are we in Genesco? If our steadfast leader Dr. Jess tells us it is spelled Genesco, then that's the new name of the town. This delightful small town is about 150 miles west of Chicago, and has been around for close to 200 years. A main stop on the Grand Excursion, the birthplace of Madame X and the site of a super-cool gingerbread contest, Genesco has tons of history and charm. We hope you enjoy our virtual romp through Genesco, and the improv fun we created, inspired by stories found in The Geneseo Republic.
