What happens
Jane Stacey and her roommate Irma Peterson talk about Irma's romance with Al, a man who has never held a steady job. Irma swears off love after Al disappears from a job, and then decides to play the field. Jane takes Al in for lunch and tries to keep Irma's new interest from spoiling things. Irma tries her hand at cooking, with disastrous results for everyone who eats her food. The episode is part of the My Friend Irma series, first broadcast on CBS Radio on April 21, 1953, and stars Marie Wilson and Cathy Lewis.

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.
