Episode NameEpisode #Air DateNotes
The Twenty-First Girl1940-06-29Paul Bunyon seems to be lonely and wants to fall in love and get married! Johnny Inkslinger to the rescue! A creative show, patterned after The Columbia Workshop. The first show of the series.
The Rebellion of Emory Simms1940-07-06Emory Simms dreams of glory, in the tradition of Walter Mitty. The program makes good use of original music.
No Program Tonight, or the Director's Dilemma1940-07-13The cast of a radio show rebels against the terrible script...while the show is on the air! Announced as the third show of the series. A good example of a radio show within a show.
Who You Pushing, Brother?1940-08-31An "experimental" broadcast that compares itself to, "The Columbia Workshop" (although not by name). A portrait of America, which admittedly is not perfect. Beyond that, the program doesn't make much sense.
Listener's Playhouse1940-11-23When is the time you really don't want to eat Turkey? Right after Thanksgiving dinner! Then, there's the matter of that bear. Maybe a few turkey sandwiches would taste good after all.
Baby1940-12-14A show business story about a singer on her way to the top, but who isn't very nice to those who help her get there.
Christmas Eve at Crumps1940-12-21Excellent story about a tight old codger and a little girl who spends the evening with him. Great radio! Parker Fennelly at the top of his form.
The Sire De Maletroit's Door1940-12-28A trick door and an affair of honor in Normandy, 1490.
