Gildy needs a little relaxation to bring down the blood pressure because there is no way he's going to give up the cigars, booze, and mountains of food. Living the American dream, isn't he? rockingchairradio@gmail.com Enjoy the Golden Age of Old Time Radio! Cheers!

The whole Anderson family has secrets they want to keep and Kathy feels compelled to tell the truth to everyone--damn the consequences.

These two Jack Benny episodes are missing parts so the Rocking Chair Radio management decided to play them both. Now that's what I call executive decision-making. rockingchairradio@gmail.com Enjoy the Golden Age of Old Time Radio! Cheers!  

A guy dies and nobody really cares because Watson gets trapped in a crate of cabbages. Seriously, cabbages! What school did Watson go to? Purdue? Who gets trapped in a crate of cabbages? rockingchairradio@gmail.com Enjoy the Golden Age of Old Time Radio! Cheers!

A woman comes to Holmes believing her husband is trying to poison her. Watson diagnoses her with a bad case of the farts. There is a reason why he is history's greatest sidekick, and it likely has to do with flatulence.  rockingchairradio@gmail.com Enjoy the Golden Age of Old Time Radio! Cheers!

Holmes solves a murder that seems pretty irrelevant to the events of the day. C'mon Meiser, you can do better than this. rockingchairradio@gmail.com Enjoy the Golden Age of Old Time Radio! Cheers!

Gildy goes blackface in this episode and talks some Uncle Remus for us. I think this was supposed to be funny back in 1942. Maybe not so funny these days. rockingchairradio@gmail.com Enjoy the Golden Age of Old Time Radio! (minus the blatant racism) Cheers!

Jim lands a nice chunky inheritance from a long lost uncle that will change everything for the Andersons. Or will it change everything? rockingchairradio@gmail.com Enjoy the Golden Age of Old Time Radio! Cheers!

Bold Venture was a 1951-52 radio production from Bogart and Bacall while they popped out a couple of babies. Slate and Sailor cross paths with ne'er-do-wells and undesirables (and some desirables, too) in a steamy, tropical setting. What else could we ask for? rockingchairradio@gmail.com Enjoy the Golden Age of Old Time Radio with an extra shot of testosterone! Cheers!

The Anderson family flirts with the Springfield social elite, if only briefly, in the hopes of marrying off their daughter to a Van Hetzen-Fussen (or something like that). Money can't buy you love--but it can buy you an expensive interior decorator. rockingchairradio@gmail.com Enjoy the Golden Age of Old Time Radio! Cheers!

Jack and the gang pun it up but the real highlight of this has to be Kenny's inspired pipes. Never mind the blandness of the host, he doesn't know it yet, but he's on his way out the door. rockingchairradio@gmail.com Enjoy the Golden Age of Old Time Radio! Cheers!
