Gertrude and Friends

Gertrude's new spinoff podcast, "Tell Trudy," takes a decidedly weird turn when she starts to interview Sheila who has apparently fallen from the sky... or somewhere.

Gertrude has a new business idea and a new invention to share that she thinks will solve a major gardening problem. Mrs. Wimberly tentatively agrees it might work, and Mrs. Pleckspeckle wants to know if it will get rid of moths. The mysterious Mr. Drakenstein is potentially interested as well. The show host, however, cannot get past the "ick" factor.

Ep. 8 — Gertrude’s Fixer Fixation

Gertrude comes on the show wearing a prototype of her latest hat creation, replete with hanging miniature tools designed for “fixers,” plus a USB-chargeable headlamp and a Morse Code transmitter. Since Gertrude is admittedly a bit rusty on her code, she initiates unexpected communication with a very odd caller. Mrs. Wimberly, chairwoman of the Uptown Beautification Association District (U-BAD), is not happy with the sudden appearance of a heap of construction debris at the garbage dumpsite, and wants to get to the bottom of the situation. Before the show host can stop her, Gertrude does an on-air shout-out to a mystery man she is trying to track down. Another odd caller responds. Things are beginning to get weird, which has everyone but Gertrude worried. She’s still trying to solve the duck situation, and the mystery man seems to hold the key… unless he is an internationally notorious cat burglar. Cast: Luella Wagner (Host), Adele Field (Gertrude), Ishmael Garcia (Bot / Drakenstein), Coleen Robinson (Wynona Wimberly).

Gertrude is off on a new adventure so Jane, the Show Host has a call-in show without a featured guest. Mrs. Wimberly has ducks on her mind, while Margaret Pleckspeckly is seeking legal advice about streetlights. A new caller with an atrocious Southern accent, Mrs. Mildred Miller, offers her detective services to identify the perp (killer??) of strange goings-on around town. Cast: Luella Wagner (Host and Mrs. Pleckspeckle), Coleen Robinson (Mrs. Wimberly), Adele Field (Mildred Miller and Gertrude). Written & Produced by Adele Field. Music licensed by Zapsplat Gold.

Gertrude isn't feeling it today since someone else in town started a clever campaign to place an assortment of toy ducks around town in various public places. When the Local Interest talk show host reveals there is a letter waiting for her, Gertrude comes into the studio after all and finds an order for POD merch and a surprising offer from an unknown fan. Mrs. Wimberly calls in to complain about the odd goings-on, and defends the town's crumbling old sidewalks. Meanwhile, Gertrude gets her mojo back. The show host warns her about catfishing, but Gertrude is out the door to pursue her new adventure.

Gertrude enters the "Local Interest" radio show studio with bells on, describes her attempt at creating a faux reindeer tableau, and talks about her new arbitrage / flipping business. Her neighbor Mrs. W. threatens to sue, and Gertrude tries to sell her arbitrage-with-a-twist course on the show.

Bouncing from Swedes to table tennis aka trailer tennis, Gertrude bubbles with enthusiasm. She explains her unique approach for a new laundry service, Really Kleen Laundry, which she appears to be making up as she goes along. Her trailer park neighbor Mrs. Pleckspeckle is not a fan of Gertrude's unorthodox gimmicks, and threatens to call the sheriff.

Gertrude attempts to take on the role of guest host for the show. When she thinks the interviewer is clueless, she realizes she should just go ahead and be the interviewee as usual. In search of a suitable topic, they briefly discuss the garden beanie hat she is wearing — replete with live herbs and soil, convenient for a quick lunch garnish. They eventually move on to Gertrude’s newest job idea… advertising account executive. Her first foray into inside sales involves her unwilling trailer park neighbor Mrs. Pleckspeckle, who sputters her way into the recording studio for a righteous rant. So maybe Gertrude’s other idea, to be a “Scentus Taker,” might be better??
