series of its kind, earning critical and popular success: according to Time, the
program had 7,000,000 devoted listeners in 1943. For the majority of its span
on the air, Vic and Sade was heard in 15-minute episodes without a continuing
storyline.
The central characters, known as "radio’s home folks", were accountant Victor
Rodney Gook (Art Van Harvey), his wife Sade (Bernardine Flynn) and their
adopted son Rush (Bill Idelson).
