The Harris home
Characters: Phil Harris, Alice Faye, Frankie Remley, Curly, Robert Q. Sweeney, Clyde
Listen for: Phil's insistence on hiring a young girl secretary, and the mix-ups when several applicants arrive at the house.
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.
