No Soap Radio - Fibber McGee & Molly: The 6th Anniversary Show (1941) Our 8th NO SOAP RADIO production created in July, 2024. As always we're presenting this show exactly as written in 1941 for historical accuracy. We don't condone every attitude expressed in the show. You might recognize the voice of the actor playing Fibber. It's none other than Larry Groebe of Project Audion fame. This show was produced, directed and edited by Paul Kovit. Paul also managed to decipher the four part hamonies of The Kings Men. He then was able to recreate their song, “Let's Get Away From It All” using singers who were scattered throughout the U.S. We hope you like the results. CAST: Annette Bochenek as Mrs. Uppington Zach Dillinger as Harlow Wilcox Zach Eastman as The Old Timer Victoria Gordon as The Little Girl Larry Groebe as Fibber McGee Anne O'Sullivan as Molly Paul Patterson as The Oculist Tony Semczuk as Throckmorton Gildersleeve & Wallace Wimple Paul Kovit, Tony Semczuk, Mark Saunders, Alexander Rynerson as The Kings Men
Jim and Marian Jordan, better known as "Fibber McGee and Molly," are our featured comedy duo this week on the podcast. On Thursday they will appear in an episode from the thriller series, “Suspense.” Today, however, we're going back a couple of days before that broadcast to hear them on their popular radio series. This episode is centered around Fibber McGee's excessive talking and habit of interrupting others. The program includes comedic interactions between the characters, such as McGee's misunderstanding of the term "aqueduct" and a bet made regarding his ability to remain silent.
