Description

Nevada, 1949. Heiress Mitzi Ballantyne has gone missing during her "Reno-vation" at the Sidewinder Resort. Detective Francis O'Connell, a Bible-toting bloodhound, would rather be at his Ma's sickbed. Instead, he steps off the train and into a den of liberated ex-wives who test his every nerve. Crooked cops, runaways, and divorcees collide in an offbeat blend of ensemble Western and classic Noir.

  We welcome you once again to this week's episode of Divorce Ranch. Dearest Ma, did you know there was a place you can simply wait by a pool and be handed a divorce? A ranch resort where patrons stay exactly 42 days and residents are able to file for divorce. Amen. That's $25 for the rings, $8 for the marriage certificate. No refunds. This is Detective O'Connell from the Chicago Police. Fireboy O'Connell. He's looking for Mitzi. God knows the kind of carousing that woman did each night. He'll find her. This case has taken a strange, dark turn. What are you doing? I'm investigating a missing person. You seem to be very thorough with your hands. And I fear the women of the Sidewinder may know more than they're saying. Every day I have to choose between the lies I can tolerate and the lies that I can't. You really had to stop putting your nose where it shouldn't be. I'm a missing persons detective, not Philip Marlowe. Jeepers, are you okay? Are you still with us? That's no way to treat a lady. Get down, goddammit! Sorry for being uncivil about it. Divorce Ranch by the Good Story Guild. Wherever you get your podcasts. Come out, come out wherever you are.
