  Good evening, anybody…here's Morgan. 
  Henry Morgan was one of the most brilliant and unsung of the radio satirists. With his predilection for poking fun at radio conventions in general, and sponsors in particular, listeners took a shine to his breezy, don't-give-a-damn sarcasm. 
  For a half-hour every week, Henry was allowed to unleash his biting wit on anything and everything, often in the form of parodies of movies and radio programs. 
  He was aided and abetted by a cast that included Charles Irving, Madeline Lee, Florence Halop, Joe Julian, and the one and only Arnold Stang. 
  EPISODES INCLUDE: First Show 09-02-46; Keeping Within a Budget 12-11-46; Reading Comics 12-18-46; Lawyers 03-19-47; Dedicated to America's Landlords 03-26-47; Dedicated to Schools 05-07-47; Visit to the Hat Emporium 05-14-47; Morgan's Around the World Listening Post 06-04-47; Professional Radio Contestants 07-02-47; Morgan Daily Gazette 10-29-47

  Princess Priscilla's Fortnight is a 1905 comedy-drama novel by Elizabeth von Arnim.  Excerpt from the book:  "Her Grand Ducal Highness the Princess Priscilla of Lothen-Kunitz was up to the age of twenty-one a most promising young lady. She was not only poetic in appearance beyond the habit of princesses but she was also of graceful and appropriate behaviour. She did what she was told; or, more valuable, she did what was expected of her without being told. Her father, in his youth and middle age a fiery man, now an irritable old gentleman who liked good food and insisted on strictest etiquette, was proud of her on those occasions when she happened to cross his mind. Her mother, by birth an English princess of an originality uncomfortable and unexpected in a royal lady that continued to the end of her life to crop up at disconcerting moments, died when Priscilla was sixteen. I propose to describe her dreadful conduct."

  Frankie Abbott is certainly one of the most memorable characters from the British sitcoms Please Sir! (which ran from 1968 to 1971) and The Fenn Street Gang (1971 to 1973). Now, David Barry – the much-loved actor who played Frankie in both TV series and the spin-off film – gives us a highly-anticipated glimpse into what the trouble-maker is up to today. 
  As it turns out, with well over five decades having passed since his Fenn Street days, the mother-smothered fantasist is now living in a care home… and is still a big-talking buffoon whose ‘true stories’ are littered with guns, girls and gangsters. However, with Frankie upsetting some of the home’s other residents, two carers – Marion and Sarah – set out to discover the truth of his past, attempting to find out whether he really was the hard man he still claims to have been. 
  In true sitcom style, these two episodes of The Lives of Frankie Abbott have been recorded in front of a live studio audience, and will delight both fans of the original series and newcomers to the character alike. 
  Additional cast include: Graham Cole as Charlie, Larry Dann as Melvin, Felicity Dean as Marion, Suzanne Maddock as Sarah and Judy Matheson as Grace.

  Liberté, Egalité, Sororité 
  It’s 1885. When murderous circumstances force two widows--Annie & Euphémie---and the precocious Auguste to flee their French village, a quartet of missionaries from the Church of Solemn stow them away within the Statue of Liberty’s head on a steamer that arrives in New York after a deadly tempest. From NY, the Solemnites usher the refugees to the staid village of Solemn, Indiana, where pleasure is forbidden. 
  The village embraces the refugees while at the same time avoiding certain delicate subjects, including the relationship between the two widows, as well as Auguste’s endless blasphemies. 
  These delicate subjects become unavoidable when Solemn is tapped to host the All-Tent Revival. The revival calls itself a “multi-denominational marketplace for God.” More accurate would be: “a time-bomb composed of two-hundred rival factions of late-19th-century American crack-pot religious sects.”  
  Guess who sets off that bomb. 
  With its cast of obedient romantics, mystical nutbags, and adorable cynics, Sister Liberty is the rollicking, thunderous introductory volume to The Stables Family Chronicles. 
  WARNING! THIS AUDIOBOOK CONTAINS DESCRIPTIONS OF: whistling, allegorical situations, lesbians, apostasy, and a pleasure wheel. Also: Eleven instances of the word fuck.
