  • S4 Episode 69 - A Fungoid Homecoming
    2024/12/17

    Roberta Alden is back in Biltz to visit the Alden clan for the holidays, and what a drab holiday it 'tis. But is it really Biltz homestead that troubles young Roberta's heart or is it the fading romance between herself and that scamp Clyde Griffiths? Impossible for her to say at the moment, but we listeners certainly know that her heart is right to worry.

  • S4 Episode 68 - Join the Club, Betty!
    2024/12/10

    After chapters of chronicling Clyde's gaiety in the arms of Sondra Finchley, we're returning to Roberta Alden's parochial world. Much depression and anxiety as she attempts to figure out the cause of Clyde's new frostiness. Yes, life is a sad affair but at least we have a murder/suicide to look forward to?

  • S4 Episode 67 - Your Last "Obscure" Episode of Normalcy
    2024/11/19

    As your host anticipates the US election, he acknowledges the Harris/Walz campaign for their excellence. Of course, your host had no idea at the time of this recording what the results of the election were going to be and so careful listeners will probably sense some optimism, which will soon be punished. As for Clyde, who cares?

  • S4 Episode 66 - A pre-election episode
    2024/11/12

    As your host contemplates his upcoming dinner, one might detect a misbegotten lightness of being. Misbegotten because he does not what's about to happen in the US elections. NO SPOILERS, PLEASE!!! In Lycurgus, Clyde and Sondra are arm-in-arm as they make their way into the dinner portion of the upper-crust dinner party to which he has been invited. Meanwhile, Roberta Alden is at home, eating a single bean from a can.

  • S4 Episode 65 - Party Animal
    2024/11/05

    Clyde is out there living it up while Roberta sits at home and cries. Well, we don't know that Roberta is home crying while Clyde is out among the Lycurgus jet set (despite the fact that jets have not yet been invented) because Dreiser doesn't even care enough about Roberta to check in with her on this, the moment of her greatest betrayal. Even so, your host would be lying if he didn't admit that he wishes Sondra would develop a lil' crush on him, too.

    It's our 64th episode of Season 4, your host is sleepy, and it's the fault of Martha. Clyde is partying hearty, with the potential of betrayal! Lots of terrible behavior from everybody!

  • S4 Episode 63 - Salad Days
    2024/10/22

    Well, Michael and his wife are in a tiff for reasons that are ENTIRELY HIS FAULT. Even so, that doesn't mean he is in the wrong! (He is in the wrong.) Plus, all kinds of angst regarding the weather, dinner, and the misery of his life. Meanwhile, a love triangle is developing there in Lycurgus, NY like a goddamned hurricane - one of which is brewing at the time of this recording.
