Muckey Landing
Welcome to Muckey Landing, Delaware, a place mostly known for being not too far from someplace you’d rather be. While you’re here, stop by the Muckey Landing Market, Diner and Hardware Emporium at the corner of St. Jones and Broad, and say hi to Virgil and Harmon. If it’s Tuesday, try Harmon’s bologna special. Then sit back and enjoy this award-winning full-cast audiofiction sitcom, comin’ at you in the tradition of Lum and Abner, I Love Lucy, and The Jack Benny Show. Well, it would be just like those shows if their characters smoked, drank and cussed. Prepare your funny bones, ’cause we’re gonna do our best to tickle ’em!
Episodes
Let Virgil Slatter, co-owner of the Muckey Landing Market, Diner and Hardware Emporium, introduce you to a few of the quirky inhabitants of his sleepy little hometown.
Muckey Landing — a scripted comedy podcast. Not as sleepy as it looks.
We meet Virgil Slatter and Harmon Truesdale, proprietors of the Muckey Landing Market, Diner and Hardware Emporium. Virgil adopts Aloysius, the world’s ugliest dog. Local artist Myrtle Myrkle invites Harmon to dinner, and Police Chief Neville Cheefe shares conspiracy theories about the fire at the DuPlant chicken nugget plant.
Virgil tries not to lose his temper about Harmon being late for work every morning, to disastrous effect. Salesman Dickie Butz stops in and sells Virgil some highly effective merchandise from Japan.
Virgil Slatter and Harmon Truesdale, co-owners of the Muckey Landing Market, Diner and Hardware Emporium, attempt to advise you about staying safe while shopping at their store. Muckey Landing: sort of like Lum and Abner, but with profanity.
With the town of Muckey Landing still in quarantine, Virgil and Harmon discuss what they want to discuss without coming to much of a conclusion.
Still quarantined, Virgil attempts to forge ahead with recording a history of Muckey Landing for Mitch Pohunk to play on the radio, while Harmon is getting tired of Joe Biden constantly calling him up to talk about nothing.

Still quarantined, Virgil attempts yet again to make a serious recording, this time highlighting the travails of Muckey Landing business owners, but has to reckon with Harmon, who has just gotten a new smartphone.
Harmon drops the tape recorder in the kitchen and breaks it, but assures Virgil that he’s fixed it. The guys go on to record a sincere but fairly dubious history of Muckey Landing and the state of Delaware, touching on pirate ships, casinos, and Natalie Wood. At least, they think they do. We listen as Mitch Pohunk broadcasts the unfortunate result on the radio.
Harmon does battle with a batch of sticky buns, Virgil spars with his old nemesis Doral when she calls the store asking for Harmon, Harmon and Doral get personal, and embarrassing secrets are revealed.

It promises to be an exciting weekend in Muckey Landing: Virgil's sister, Velma, is reopening her gentleman's club, The T&G, for the first time since she closed on account of the pandemic, and Virgil couldn't ask for a better venue to celebrate Harmon's upcoming birthday. What could possibly go wrong, besides everything?

Harmon and Virgil rendezvous at the store and then head out under cover of darkness to boost Myrtle's erotic painting from the Fuzzy Duck gallery in Ditchwater. When Harmon gets cold feet on the way down, Virgil butchers a lot of Latin while explaining why what they're doing is perfectly legal. Will they really go through with it?
