Finding these are like finding a treasure!

Im 78 years old. I recall this show very well. It was so understated

Radio close your eyes,open your 🧠❤️,enjoy 80 yrs now," when radio was" every night out of Chicago 👍👍

Men were teading newspaper, instead of playing video games☺️ They had stop names of central offices (LOcust)..in 1966, So theyd use the Zone Improvement Plan They didnt at first, use ZIP code ✉️

I'm extremely grateful that that clip, and others of that long-ago vintage, have been preserved and are accessible. What a treat!

Coolinary

Is the full show available somewhere? I'd love to see the parts featuring WSM's Grand Ole Opry.

Comment from Peg Lynch's daughter: I have the black satin suit she's wearing in this video, it's in great shape (she bought it in Paris on her honeymoon) and even better, I can fit into it!

Thank you for the upload! This is such a great find! ❤️

This is truly a lost classic! 😀

We recently visited "Ten Chimneys" in Genosee Depot Wisconsin, The estate of Alfred Lunt & Lynn Fontaine. They were based in New York city for most of the year. It got me wondering if Peg ever hob nobbed with them.

my wife has a robe very similar to Ethel's!!

Peg had a great sense of satire and comedy. She could write for an empty radio studio and a live television audience and both kinds of sketches would be funny. When you talk about chemistry between two performers Peg and Alan had it. Poor Alan Bunce, profusely sweating under those 1952 Kleig studio lights of which many were required to allow the image orthicon tube cameras enough light to register a decent picture. Thanks for posting this.

Super job, the whole podcast was just great! I know she's proud of you both!

I prefer the radio versions. I don't sleep well at night so i just listen to the radio version on my phone

Aunt Effie had a better sound

December Bride was too old fashioned and cardboard like. Cardboard is best recycled

Astrid......YOU ROCK

I always thought Lucy was overrated. Peg Lynch's take on marriage was the TRUE pulse of America

I'm hooked on this

This needs to be on PBS.

gerry wilson agree with gradio as ford's is avaiable wo of my favorite actors hoard keel and hans conried worked together in mgm's texas carnival

What a joy to listen to! 🙂

gosh... i was trying to delay listening to this last episode ... trying to stave off the reality of this podcast coming to an end. You guys did an amazing job. The tone you captured is pure .... deep ... rich ... and at the same time ... sounding off-the-cuff and chatty. Thank you for this gift ... i hope you might consider adding an episode or two in the future .... perhaps including some extraneous odds and ends that ... for sake of editing smoothness ... couldn't be included this time. Thank you Astrid & James for making my holidays nicer ! !

I just stumbled on this treasure today! Happy New Year and Thank you Astrid❤

As a writer myself, I daresay Peg would have approved of Shakespeare's name being on her earn because, like Peg, Shakespeare, was a successful writer of popular entertainment and was an avid reader.

I apologize for the grammatical error towards the end; I was just blathering along and landed on the wrong word. That said, all praise for Astrid's construction and performance of the story; it's just a thing of beauty. And thanks for listening!

Peg saying that Ameche acted like he actually had invented the telephone is perfect her.

Fun to see the clips from what Pegg was involved in!

It would be nice if you added an occasional full episode of the tv show. I'm intrigued.

Really enjoying these podcasts and learning about Peg. Her story would make a heck of a streaming series.

I celebrate your M❤Ms presence on the airwaves! Years ago I belatedly discovered that George Walsh , one of my top ,top favorite announcers ( radio and TVs Gunsmoke ) lived a few miles from me had I known sooner I would have paid him a visit and personally thanked him for his vocal contributions to radio entertainment!

Madeline Pierce ! ! !.... I cannot believe she could be so pouty and grudge-carrying ! ! ! .... poor Peg ..... beset and besieged by fair weather friends all the time .... if not outright frauds and thieves like the Jaffes ! ! ! ..... another fantastic chapter ! ! !

(Your mom at 26:35 is absolutely gorgeous) I have always been partial to The Couple Next Door because that was where my experience with the show began. I was driving late at night many years ago and listening to some radio station that was playing the episodes where the Piper's are selling their house and building another. I truly fell in love with the show, Peg's lovely voice and all of the terrific acting. Little did I know that years later, after finding out that Peg Lynch was alive and well, I found her address and sent her flowers. Within a week my phone rang and there on my caller ID--"Peg Lynch"! What a lady. The first of a trio of calls she graciously made to my home. It's a love affair that continues to this day, including this absolutely wonderful series. I can't thank you enough.

I Googled Apple Tree Lane and I think I found the house depicted in the black and white photo you shared. It is on the corner of Cedar Heights Rd and Apple Tree Lane. I can see the charm of it although it seems to have fallen into a bit of disrepair.

Thanks, again. I loved the Walter Hart recording.

Hi again. Wow, those family pictures, and the pictures of you, I havn't seen.

Hi Astrid. Nice to see Odd, and to hear that Peg loved him more and more 🙂

omg.... I actually look forward to Monday mornings.... thanks to you ! ! !.... amazing episode .... dense with fascinating stories .... I can't believe that creep stole the music box ! ! ! .... just adore the print ads you included ..... I cannot believe Alan.... (talented though he was) ... viewed himself the ''star of the show ! ! ! '' ...... seems like Peg was surrounded by sharks and users and morons throughout her career .... idiots who lacked sense & gratitude enough to treasure their association with such a force of nature as Peg Lynch .... and not fuck it up with diva sulks ... corporate backstabbing or other shameful behavior ..... the worst is Peg's mom..... never a kind or supportive word ! ! ! ..... how such a warm and funny & gifted person as Peg could emerge from that icy & emotionless home .... it's just incredible. .... ( sorry for the filibuster ) .... I never want this podcast to end ! ! !

10am EST, USA. Astrid, thank you so much for including me. Your mother was, truly, a treasure. Your creation of these archives are priceless. Brent E.

Thought of Astrid yesterday. Watching Turner Classic Movies and enjoyed Gale Storm in the film “Between Midnight and Dawn”.

another triumph ..... just wonderful ... beautifully told and edited .... hard to imagine Alan Bunce being so right wing !! ... and what nerve .... that stupid director trying to get Peg to sign him in as part owner of the show .... astonishing... the several business associates-turned-predators who thought they could bamboozle Peg !!!

Nice story! Look forward to see more of Odd ...

4:36 I had never heard of Ethel and Albert . How clever Peg was and in such misogynistic times. I am a fan!

Alan Bunce and Peg Lynch-pure gold.

Another excellent installment!

en... thralling. .... omg .... that ''salted nuts'' bit ! ! ! hahahahaha

The one bad thing about a new episode dropping is the wait for the next one. I understand how the Ethel & Albert fans must have felt!

these are excellent! Please do more. I need content to get me thru the winter!!
