They promote an all-sacred song book of 150 hymns, which they say they wrote and sang over many years. Listeners are invited to order the book for one dollar, sent cash-on-delivery or by postcard, with a money-back guarantee. Between the sales pitches, the program plays a hymn from the book, Keep on the Sunny Side, and later If We Never Meet Again This Side of Heaven, with the three singers performing together.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
