What happens

Vic and Sade is a daytime radio serial, and this episode from August 29, 1946 follows the household at home on an ordinary afternoon. Vic is trying to bring office work home and concentrate, but the house is noisy and full of interruptions from Sade and their son Rush. Uncle Fletcher arrives with a message from Mrs. Keller's husband about an old portrait, and a dispute over meals and Mrs. Keller's coming trip leads to comic confusion. The episode is heard in the cast of Bernardine Flynn and Bill Idelson, and the rest of the household's domestic muddles continue around them.

Listen for: Uncle Fletcher's worries over his meals and the quarrel about the portrait.

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.
