Small Town Radio
By Small Town Radio
Small Town Radio is two New York City comedians, Maxim Allen and Connor Kwiecien, talking about small towns around the world, but mostly in America right now. Connor and Maxim, with their witty banter, talk about interesting history, weird geography, and hilarious celebrations that take place in areas that are often overlooked. With more people than ever flocking to cities, it’s nice to remember how hypocritical two podcast hosts can be for inspiring nostalgia for small town life.

Episode 45 - Name Redacted? (With Lukas Arnold)
"The guest is always right. From now on, I am Connor Kwiecien." - Name Redacted
Your favorite podcast hosts who specialize in talking about small towns, and both happen to be New York City comedians, welcome the hilarious Lukas Arnold to the road trip. You may know him as a TikTok superstar, great comedian or voice actor, but Maxim and Connor are fortunate to know him as friend.
Lukas has been a long-time listener of the show. With his great knowledge of tiny towns, the hosts asked him some questions that have lingered throughout the episodes. Together the three voices behind the microphones take a step back to review some past questions, gain some perspective and finally get some clarity as to whether Connor should introduce himself with his name.
Thank you to Lukas Arnold for coming onto the podcast. To follow and support him, head to his website or follow @lukastarnold on all social media.

"Why do you need to climb all the way up that mountain when there’s perfectly good poop at the bottom?”
Well, that quotable has nothing to do with Coach K's GPA. However, after 20 episodes, hosts and New York City comedians, Maxim Allen and Connor Kwiecien, finally break form and spiral into poop jokes—for a good reason. They're funny. We will admit not all poop jokes are funny, but they are when their origins lie in a true event from one small town that drops moose droppings from a helicopter.
