    Vinnie Jean Is Not My Lover

    Season 2 of Muckey Landing is finally here!  
    In our season opener, Harmon makes himself pretty for Vinnie Jean, Virgil's sexy little sister, who's coming to work at the store as part of her probation for whomping her ex-boyfriend upside the head with a frozen pork loin. While they await her arrival, Virgil and Harmon discuss Charles Berlitz, the biblical origins of  modern language, the wisdom of buying cologne on the internet, and past mistakes.

Neil Hartigan ,

Delaware!!!

This quirky show, it’s characters, and plot points reminds me of growing up in Delaware. They weave little nuggets that only a true Delawarean would understand in with their hilarious story telling! Great show that I cannot get enough of. Makes me crave some scrapple!

Great Writing and Dedicated Actors

The cheerful, goofy, and overzealous characters in this audio drama had me laughing and shaking my head. It’s a fun story that centers around an incredibly small, sleepy town. I liked the premise and the writing very much. It made me want to hear more.
