Welcome to Local To Nowhere, a comedy podcast where hosts Katie Lassiter and Ryan Fleming read bizarre headlines from cities in the United States and, with the help of guest performers, create a narrative improv scene based around a selected headline.

In this episode, we take you to South Charleston, West Virginia, where an infomercial for a new safety device is being shot at a zoo. Featuring the voice talents of Adam Curran and Connor Fleming.

Episode 2: Oklahoma

Katie and Ryan are joined by Lauren Strenkowski and Ricky Martinez, two YouTubers-slash-comedy fanatics. They visited the scene of a crime in Wyoming, where a 14-year-old boy in a gorilla mask robbed a dollar store at knifepoint, made a quick getaway on his push scooter, and learned a valuable lesson about the importance of family. Guest starring the spirit of Harambe, because apparently it's 2016 again.
