One town. One murder. One million hot dogs. One exclusive clip. In Summer in Argyle, available on Audible on March 10, narrator Jeremy Zax (Bob Odenkirk) welcomes listeners to the small town known for never coming in first: Argyle, Ohio. Created and written by Nate Odenkirk (The New Yorker, The Onion) and his father Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad), the Audible Original scripted comedy podcast reunites Odenkirk with his Mr. Show co-host and co-creator David Cross (Arrested Development). In ComicBook’s exclusive taste of Audible’s Summer in Argyle, Argylite Jim Tiley (Cross) dreams up a million-dollar idea that’s a real “weiner.”
Welcome to Argyle. Grab a hot dog and allow town narrator Jeremy Zax (Odenkirk) to regale you with this region’s rich history! Founded in 1843 by settlers with their sights set on California, these brave souls grew too tired and instead settled for Ohio. Argylites love to celebrate the spirit of “close enough,” like that of Richie McDonough (Posehn) a young man who was a stupendous substitute bowler that never bowled and instead kept the bench warm. His untimely, mysterious death in the Summer of 2013 is Argyle’s darkest secret.
Hear how Richie met his fate, beginning with Argyle’s annual hot dog eating contest and ending with the town’s annual murder. Along the way, you’ll see that Argyle truly has it all: a DMV that’s also a fancy restaurant; the world’s largest lost-and-found; a surgeon who doubles as a magician; and so much more!
