From The Onion and Onion Public Radio (OPR), A Very Fatal Murder takes one intrepid podcaster, David Pascall, to the sleepy town of Bluff Springs, Nebraska to explore the unsolved murder of Haley Price, a really hot white girl. The first episode premieres February 5th.
Onion Public Radio reporter David Pascall, who has long searched for the most resonant true-crime podcast that is also about middle America, heads to Bluff Springs, NE where the small town is reeling from the death of 17-year-old Hayley Price.
David conducts preliminary interviews with those connected to the murder of Hayley Price.
David attends Calloway Day to see exactly how middle-class America celebrates what little they have, and to see just how deep a hold W.O. Calloway has on the townspeople of Bluff Springs.
David recruits Onion Public Radio’s robust team of interns to recreate the night of Hayley Price’s murder in order to determine once and for all if a person can really die from a simultaneous gunshot-stabbing-strangling-drowning. Plus: A major twist.
In the first part of an extra-long and incredibly poignant episode of “A Very Fatal Murder,” David returns to the Bluff Springs Police Department to search the evidence locker in hopes of finding the long-lost key to Hayley Price’s Murder.
David finally confronts W.O. Calloway about the murder of Hayley Price.
In the finale of “A Very Fatal Murder,” David returns to where it all began to finally solve the murder of Hayley Price.

Okay, this is a piece of Vonderfull Comedy Genius. I am thrilled that they are doing a second run. It manages to -- in a strictly audio medium, and in a breezy 10 minutes or less an episode, -- sum up so much of our popular culture zeitgeist with sharp precision and incisive wit. The delivery is just... Wicked! (Does anybody still use that? Wicked? Well we should bring it back.) AnyWooo... I absolutely love this. Also; Onion 🌰. Bring back the TOPICAL!😶 PLEASE!

This is a hilarious satire, brought to you by the Onion. The people that left negative reviews didn't seem to realize this was satirical. I would describe it as deadpan humor, or as a mockumentary because it tries to mimic news segments you would hear on NPR.
