Season 1, Episode 4: Elmer & Verne in: "Elmerworld"

What new, old-time radio series would be complete without a comedy duo? Meet everyone's favorite old-time dreamers: Elmer and Verne! Running the Ityl-Dew Hotel in Rocky Start, North Carolina, has not been the money-making machine they'd hoped it'd be. So when Bigfish proposes a loan so they can build their own amusement park to drum up business -- it's time for hilarious hi-jinks and hillbilly hilarity in the vein of Lum & Abner or Abbott & Costello!

Recorded live at Bozeman, Montana's Equinox Theatre, now known as the Verge Theater on July 9, 2011! What you hear is what the audience heard with no overdubs and minimal post-production to try to make it comfortable to your ears! In this first season, we had not yet made the decision to have entirely analog effects, but Sound Impresario Rob Robinson did activate each one live on stage!

Written and Directed by Ryan Cassavaugh

Featured cast: Keith Suta as Elmer Van Fleet; Ryan Cassavauh as Verne Peabody; Ryan Lawrence Flynn as Mr. Willerby and Bigfish; and Christian McDaniel as the Widder Minke, Rumer Pyle, and the Announcer!

Sound effects by Rob Robinson
