The legendary comedic duo Fibber McGee & Molly with “I Can Get It For You Wholesale.” This show was broadcast on December 9, 1941, two days after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This show includes news updates on World War II.

Broadcast on March 5, 1940. The giant mess in Fibber's closet led to a short-lived expression of any household mess being called “Fibber McGee's Closet.”

It's Fibber McGee and Molly week on the show. But this time rather than their well-known cozy comedy format, the beloved radio couple appears here in a dramatic episode of Suspense titled "Backseat Driver."

Joining us once again for this series is Dr. Joe Webb, who provides background on the episode involving an average small-town couple facing an armed killer.
