Part 2 of what was meant to be our hour long celebration of our most popular shows, so be sure to listen to Part 1 first! ("Miss Duffy's Coming Out Party" then "Halloween Party") It's an hour long party! :-) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

So three days late while trying to get our editing software to work right, we've decided to throw the concept to the wind so we can get both parts of the RSR Comedy Hour out!

A day or so late, but the start of the two-part mid-season finale is here! Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, starring Megan Klodnicki as the titular Alice. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND is coming to Retro Static Radio! This is the two-part mid-season finale for Retro Static Radio, and it's going to be a doozy! But everyone knows what Alice in Wonderland is (even though most of adaptations leave out the Duchess' house!) so listen to the silly and weird sounds that best summarize our the first part of our adaptation!

Then next week, the table reads for Alice will be FREE on our Ko-Fi! But that's a discussion for later!

Megan Klodnicki is Alice! Zach Cassidy is the Caterpillar! AJ Carey is the Cheshire Cat! AND MORE! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In our penultimate episode of this half of Season 2, there's no better spot to be than Duffy's Tavern! This time, it's all about war bonds and how Archie needs money to buy war bonds. There's no better answer than having a friend marry rich, right?
