What happens
Fibber McGee and Molly receive a telegram saying Fibber's application for a stage director position has been accepted, and Fibber is thrilled at the chance at a big break. Molly, however, is preparing for the women's club May Festival and is less impressed with his plans to leave town. Their neighbors Mrs. Uppington and Mr. Gildersleeve stop by with news about the festival, including a professional director being brought in from the Chippewa Entertainment Bureau. Fibber, meanwhile, tries to convince Molly to let him go. This episode of Fibber McGee and Molly aired on NBC Radio on April 30, 1940, with Jim and Marian Jordan in the lead roles.

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.
