We're taking a U-Turn back to season four. What would you do if you were stranded for months on a cold, blizard-ridden mountain top with your family and little to no food? More importantly, who would you eat first? Even more importantly, what part would you eat first? Karmen and Jessica are in California visiting Donner's Pass, where the infamous Donner Party decided to take matters into their own hands and become cannibals. They truck in over to Truckee to learn about its dark past. It's getting serious over here. Don't miss your exit.

Summer is here. Dress up your backyard in style. Check out our new partner, Grand Patio, here ---> grandpatio.sjv.io/smalltown -
We’re driving headfirst into the madness of small-town first days of school, where the struggle is real, and the stories are even realer. First up, we're tackling the epic adventures of back-to-school shopping. Because nothing says "new school year" like parents losing their minds over sold-out unicorn binders and the great quest for the elusive Disney Princess backpack.
We're sharing our own cringeworthy first-day stories that will make you want to crawl under your desk. From wardrobe malfunctions, epic fails, and possibly a kidnapping...we’ve got the goods to make your worst first-day memories feel like a walk in the park.
Speaking of parks, let’s not forget the wild safari that is the school parking lot during drop-off and pick-up. We explore the art of dodging minivans, surviving the gauntlet of frazzled parents, and the ultimate challenge: finding a parking spot without causing a traffic jam or an exposed middle finger.
Join Jessica and Karmen as they relive the unspoken dress codes, the social hierarchies, and the desperate attempts to avoid becoming the subject of that year's running joke. Grab your Trapper Keeper, your best (or worst) first-day outfit, and a healthy dose of nostalgia and join us in this episode. Don't miss your exit.

We're beaming up to Roswell, New Mexico, the quirky little town that's become the unofficial HQ for all things extraterrestrial. Buckle up, Earthlings, because we're about to explore the galaxy's most famous UFO hotspot. Join Jessica and Karmen as they drive into the strange and mysterious world of Roswell, where the residents aren't just waiting for the next big thing—they're waiting for the next big thing to land in their backyard.
They'll uncover the origins of the infamous 1947 alien crash (or weather balloon mishap, depending on who you ask). From the annual UFO Festival, complete with alien costume contests and out-of-this-world parades, to the countless alien-themed businesses that make Roswell feel like Area 51's quirky cousin, they'll guide you through a town that's turned extraterrestrial encounters into an art form.
Expect a few raised eyebrows and maybe even a touch of paranoia as they explore the UFO capital of the world. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or just in it for the alien-shaped cookies, tune in and decide for yourself: is Roswell just a town with a great marketing gimmick, or is it the epicenter of Earth's most cosmic mystery? Either way, one thing's for sure—it's out of this world. Don't miss your exit.

We’re turning our spotlight on the 4th of July – small-town style. Because nothing says "Happy Birthday, America!" like reckless fireworks, bizarre traditions, and a healthy dose of local craziness. Join Jessica and Karmen as they explore time-honored traditions, from marshmellow fights and frog jumping contests (how exciting), to parades featuring floats that defy all logic and taste. And let's not forget the true stars of the show – the fireworks. Specifically, the people who manage to turn a box of sparklers into a one-way ticket to the emergency room.
We’ll share stories of folks who make you question the survival of the human species, like the guy who thought it was a good idea to launch a firework from his…well, let’s just say it wasn’t his hand. So grab a hot dog, a scoop of questionable potato salad, and join us for a celebration of all things small-town and slightly insane this Fourth of July. Don't miss your exit.

We're packing our bags and heading to the "Waterpark Capital of the World"—Wisconsin Dells. But don’t worry, this isn’t your average splash-and-dash vacation. Think Wisconsin Dells is just water slides and kiddie pools? Think again. We’re talking about attractions so bizarre they make your weird uncle's attic look like a Bed Bath & Beyond.
Join Jessica and Karmen as they unravel the story behind the most infamous resident of the Dells: the mummified head of Dells serial killer. Yes, you heard that right. A head. Mummified. On display. And that's just the tip of the creepy iceberg. Don't miss your exit.

Picture this: in the quaint corners of Morrice, Michigan, one local resident found themselves overcome with an unusual craving—one for a taste of Kevin Bacon!

(Intense music with clock ticking in the background) "Every year, over one man drowns because of ghosts. That's close to 100 deaths in the last 99 years (about 10 per decade).

This has been a SmallTown public announcement. Join Jessica and Karmen as they visit small towns with ghost stories in this U-Turn Episode back to October 2022.
