The News From Carroll County

Caleb Drake

Doyle Wayne Simmons, and Cecil Junior Watkins bring you “All the latest news from around Carroll County Texas, and beyond ...but mostly Carroll County.” A scripted spoof, on a small town news show, full of dubious yarns, banal anecdotes, and a healthy dose of silliness, played completely straight. Throw in some redneck tropes and few bad songs and, “you got yourself a description son!” If Andy Griffith and Garrison Keillor has ever wanted to team up, they might have made this podcast ...or maybe they would have developed a line of kettle popcorn, and distributed it via an MLM network. Might have gone either way.
