About This Podcast
The charm of the series lies in the dynamic between the two characters: Will is a blunt, practical man who’d rather be fishing, while Mrs. Lockhart is an enthusiastic, romantic housewife eager to explore the world. Their journey offers a mix of humor and lighthearted travelogue, reflecting an American perspective on Europe during the early 1930s, a time when such trips were a rare luxury for most, especially amidst the Great Depression. The show aired on various stations across the U.S. and even overseas into the mid-1930s, with the earliest known broadcast on August 17, 1930, on WCAO in Baltimore.
Only nine episodes are known to survive today, including the first seven and the final two, providing a glimpse into this early radio gem. It’s a fun, escapist look at travel and marriage, with Gene Lockhart—who also wrote much of the series—bringing a touch of his creative flair to the scripts.
