What happens
The Delmore Brothers, Alton and Rabon, along with Wayne Raney, present a program of old gospel hymns for listeners. They open by promising sacred songs and announce several numbers taken from requests, including a hymn about a last moving day. Between songs they describe a songbook of 150 sacred songs with words and music, which they offer to listeners for one dollar under a money-back guarantee, with payment by postal money order or C.O.D. as an option. The hosts repeat the mailing address and encourage listeners to order. The program closes with a final song and a farewell from the brothers, promising to return the next day at the same time.
A radio program broadcast from a radio station, featuring hymns, a songbook offer, and closing remarks by the hosts.

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.
