"Summer in Argyle" is a scripted comedy fiction podcast from Audible Originals and Above Average, blending mockumentary-style small-town satire with a mystery/true-crime parody structure. Narrated by Bob Odenkirk's character Jeremy Zax, the series unfolds as an absurdist "murder" investigation wrapped around the quirky, deadpan lore of a fictional Ohio town obsessed with hot dogs, bowling, and civic dysfunction. Featuring an all-star alt-comedy cast including David Cross, Tim Robinson, Paul F. Tompkins, Brian Posehn, Stephanie Hsu, and Carl Tart, the show delivers dry, character-driven humor through improv-flavored dialogue, ensemble bits, and running gags about small-town bureaucracy and pettiness. Episodes are short, serialized, and packed with absurd committee meetings, faux-detective subplots, and satirical nods to true-crime podcast tropes. Ideal for fans of shows like "Comedy Bang! Bang!" or mockumentary sitcoms, listeners can expect sharp improv comedy, oddball world-building, and a irreverent take on Americana and small-town intrigue.
