The Town with No Name
Podcast Description
Welcome to The Town with No Name! Here, you’ll find a community of gunslingers and tune singers. But be wary; a dark shadow looms over this little village’s inhabitants. Each of the many townfolks, from that no-good Whiskers to the big-fished starlet Joanna Porter, find themselves haunted by a dastardly figure named X.
The Town with No Name is an ensemble tragicomedy about avoiding responsibility packed with catchy earworms sure to be stuck in your head stronger than a bullet in a tight-knit wound. It is a tale told through 10 chapters where you’ll hear the stories of love, guilt, prison breaks, dead pigs, and, if you’re lucky, a chance to meet who in their right mind would be in charge of a world like this: the mayor.
The Town with No Name is the 2nd season of the audio anthology collection: Sommer Stories.

Special Thank you to the wonderful folk at Spiked Eggs!
Spiked Eggs serves up deliciously twisted, darkly comic tales with a foot in both the present and
the reimagined past. Picture a world populated by sociopathic reindeer, cold-blooded assassins,
scheming sheep, a shifty politician who blusters in and out of episodes, and a spy-drone-
snooping Internet web host. Each episode stands alone and can be listened to in any order. In
2024, Spiked Eggs won Best Comedy Podcast at the 2024 Hollywood Series Awards and also
earned three silver awards for Best Fiction Podcast, Editing and Sound Design at the Signal
Awards in New York City.
This particular episode is called “Who’s the Ass? (Part One).” It is a current nominee for Best
Comedy/Adventure Podcast in the LA Webfest 2025.
Desperate for cash, a miller and his daughter turn to the Internet to pump up the
sale price for their tired, old donkey. They instantly become an online sensation, yet
trouble awaits them on their way to market. An angry scrum of animal-rights
advocates is hot on their heels. A slippery politician, hell-bent to cash in on the
hoopla, races to intercept them. And pot-stirring host Katie Klickit whips up a
snarling Greek chorus on her drone-spying Internet web series. Meanwhile, the clock
is ticking. Can father and daughter cross the river ahead and reach the market in
time? Or will it be a bridge too far? Listen to Spiked Eggs on Apple Podcast, Spotify,
Audible, or your favorite platform.
