What happens
Dr. William Todd Hunter Hall, president of Ivy College, waits to learn whether the Board of Governors will reappoint him for another term. Board member Mr. Wellman objects that Hall's wife, Victoria, is a musical comedy actress and questions whether such a couple suits a conservative college. Meanwhile, Hall and Victoria are kept anxiously pacing their home as the deadline approaches. The Halls of Ivy is a radio comedy from NBC, first broadcast on January 6, 1950, starring Ronald Colman, Willard Waterman and Gale Gordon.

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.
