Vic and Saved!

For some reason, the Library of Congress has chosen to save the "Vic and Sade" episode, "Decoration Day" as part of their collection, according to this article from the Washington Post.

Since "Decoration Day" was chosen, one would think whoever was in charge of choosing simply took the recording that was easiest to retrieve (either physically or via list) and chose that one, since it is the earliest known "Vic and Sade" recording left that we know about.

David Whitehouse in The Mysterious Stranger

David Whitehouse (directed by Homer Heck) did an episode of "Author's Playhouse" in 1944, called "The Mysterious Stranger".  The tale is a bit different and fun to listen to, as David was playing Russell at the time on "Vic and Sade".

Yet another Vic and Sade podcast!

True to our word, the 7th edition of The Vic and Sadecast is on the net and ready for you to spend an hour with.

While we do take the time every podcast to listen to three shows, three fans of "Vic and Sade" also share their own personal insight on each episode as well.

There's no interrupting or loss of train of thought, as all the critique is recorded separately.  I think this makes for a smoother podcast.

So if you haven't ever listened before, sit down for an hour and hear for yourself what's going on.

Wow. it's the Vic and Sadecast #6!

The Vic and Sadecast #5 - a trip to Bloomington

The Vic and Sadecast (a podcast) travels to beautiful Bloomington, Illinois, home of Paul Rhymer.  Our correspondent, 'Shambles Constant' has spent many of his last few days traveling to various V/S sites, reading up on these places and sharing personal stories about his time at these places.  It's unique and well worth an hour of your time.

*Another* Vic and Sade podcast!

PQ Ribber and I return for excursion #2 of The Vic and Sadecast.  Don't miss it!

Thanks to all the commenters

I was looking at the comments on the main site and I am proud of you all and your comments that add such insight to the show. There's no doubt "Vic and Sade" will someday be lost completely as you'd expect all the fans will go by the wayside.

However, your comments will hopefully live on as long as these websites exist. Please take the time to contribute your thoughts to any of the shows via comment. If you have more to say - drop me a line, we ALL wish to read your thoughts and they are welcome.

Thanks to all who have commented in the past.

The Vic and Sadecast #1

Jimbo and PQ Ribber explore 4 quality-sounding episodes. If you are a fan of Vic and Sade, you won't be sorry you listened. Find it here.

Bill Idelson, clerk

Bill Idelson shows up in this episode of "My Three Sons", beginning at about 3:51.

They Might Be Vic and Sade Fans

Sundance Award Winning Filmmaker Jason Willis is a big Vic and Sade fan. You might remember his references to Sishigan, Michigan and Gus Fuss (and perhaps others) in Catnip: An Egress to Oblivion.

He's the director of the They Might Be Giants' Video, "Shape Shifter":



Take notice of the "guy" whose head turns into a beer can - then have a really close up view of the can, here. There are a few Vic and Sade goodies there.

Thanks to Jason for helping keep Vic and Sade alive!

More on Brokaw Hospital

According to "Shambles Constant", a fellow who lives in Bloomington, Browkaw Hospital is right across the street from the house Paul Rhymer grew up in on Virginia Avenue.  I wonder why the hospital is rarely spoken of in the show?  The hospital has been there since the late 1800's.

(Note to "Shambles" - I just NOW saw your comment about the hospital that you made in November..)

Browkaw Hospital

Hey everyone, I'm still alive.

My scanner still isn't working but I hope to try again very soon.  Meanwhile, I do have a couple of things for you:

In the episode, 32-07-28 Vic Is Asked To Be A Mannequin, there is reference to a Brokaw Hospital.  It never occurred to me, until today, to look that up but when I did, I was totally surprised at what I found.  Check it out.

Also, there will be a special two part podcast that will be released sometime in the next week hopefully, highlighting the nine best-sound episodes of Vic and Sade with commentary by PQ Ribber and yours truly.  There is also going to be a (probable) weekly podcast about Vic and Sade where various episodes will be discussed.  We probably won't go through the entire series or anything like that, but certain episodes will be discussed until we choke Billy Patterson.  Stay tuned for information.

Have a safe holiday time.
