Popular Reviews of My Town

My Town is really clever and funny! Check it and you'll probably find yourself binge-listening the whole thing. Great stuff!

Tyler Bop wants to make a tourist podcast to showcase his beloved home town of Whopertin, Michigan. To him it is a simple, ordinary place that deserves more attention - especially if it results in more customers shoppping at his family's candle store.However, both Tyler and the town's residents are far from ordinary and the more our main character tries to steer things towards a simple, straightforward documentary, the more he accidentally pulls back the curtain and exposes lies, secrets, quirks, controversies and more.The writing is so witty and wacky that dialogue fizzles, bringing the bizarre array of characters to life. The voice acting is spectacularly kooky but the cast reins in the offbeat eccentricities when necessary to allow heartwarming human drama to play out.My Town is a true success story of indie audio drama. It highlights what can be achieved on a low budget if the cast and crew involved are committed to delivering an enjoyable tale.

This show first baited me with the deadpan humor of Tyler's sweetly oblivious love for his less than completely amazing town. But then it just keeps layering on the poignant details. The varied ways in which Tyler's skill makes him both annoying and likeable in equal measure, but leaves him with few friends in his age group. How he's on the cusp of adulthood, of understanding that what used to be enough for him won't always be what he wants. It's all done incredibly well. Bravo.
