Rocking Chair Radio: Recent Episodes
Rocking Chair Radio
Slate and Sailor somehow get dirt in their fuel line, out at sea, which leads to a complicated string of events that results in multiple murders. In the end, they stroll happily along the beach, hand in hand, to probably make sweet, sweet love in sultry Havana.
Holmes and Watson (mostly Holmes) investigate a case of missing jewels and multiple murders, Rocking Chair Radio names a new team captain, and Robert Mueller investigates dubious claims from Mrs. Rocking Chair Radio.

Leila's sister comes to town to check out Gildy (sort of) and brings along a rotten child. Seriously, this kid is a real pain in the pain cushion absorber.

Thanks for listening to Rocking Chair Radio.

Holmes and Watson (mostly Holmes) save a newlywed couple from a villain and Holmes insults Watson at least twice but Watson doesn't seem to mind that much.

Gildersleeve works two angles. One for the town and one for himself. Rocking Chair Radio only works one angle, and sometimes forgets what it is.

Slate and Sailor are on the hunt for Tommy Reed, a simple man trying to be somewhere that his wife isn't. Turns out Tommy is dead. Dying always screws up a good plan.
Holmes outwits a nitwit and a twit and proves that a couple of murderers really committed a murder. Plus, the host of Rocking Chair Radio undergoes Freudian psychotherapy.

Jack and the gang present a trio of Western-themed skits that most certainly had the audience of the day laughing away their Depression-era blues. I know of two people who probably weren't laughing--stock characters Guido Macaroni, the Italian fruit merchant & Sol Rubin, the lawyer. Poor Buckwheat Jefferson-left out once again.

Gildy shows up to the office on his first day and finds that the bureaucracy runs the show. He isn't necessary at all. He also hasn't paid his water bill. As an added bonus, Leroy is arrested for skinny dipping (and probably peeing) in the town's drinking water.
Holmes lets nature take its course as the circus people murder a couple of their own. It seems reasonable to slyly look in both directions and walk away whistling as the bodies pile up.

Winter comes early and Gildy races Judge Hooker to warm up the town flirt. Gildy brings coal, which is smart, but Judge Hooker brings alcohol. In the end, neither a fossil fuel nor an intoxicant can lure in this Southern-styled fish.

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.

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?

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.
