Muckey Landing

In this episode, uber-receptionist Doral has landed yet another new job, this time at the local radio station, where she ends up interviewing Myrtle Myrkle in place of Mitch, who’s sleeping off his most recent bender on the floor of his office. Harmon explains his totally perplexing and utterly exhausting relationship with Myrtle to Virgil, Booty Sheets and his BVDs stop by the store to make a phone call, and Velma invites Harmon to dinner, much to Harmon’s consternation.

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?

Our Cast:

• Mike Polo as Virgil Slatter

It's Bologna Week, Harmon's annual tribute to the joys of baking with bologna, and he's pulling out all the stops at the lunch counter! Stopping by to inquire about the feast are Radio RMUK station manager Mitch Pohunk, who's taken up a new hobby to help him keep from blowing a gasket or a heart valve; Sammy Fraudiddler, Youth Minister at the Flames of Fire and Grace Right Primitive Baptist Church; and the guys' old enemy Doral, who phones in an order and quickly gets under everybody's skin.

Featuring Mike Polo as Virgil Slatter, Bruce Leister as Harmon Truesdale, Kevin P. Smith as Mitch Pohunk,  Andrew Hertzberg as Sammy Fraudiddler, and Patti Gatto as Doral Bernstein. Sound design and engineering by Mike Polo. Music by the politely infraggable Jim Rezac. Written and directed by Chris Polo. Muckey Landing is a Mucked Up Production. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

Muckey Landing - a Sort of a Podcast was named Outstanding Comedy Fiction Podcast at the 2021 New Jersey Web Fest and is a Gold Listening Selection of the 2021 Hear Now Festival.

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.

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.
