Bob and Ray
Fiction Is Truther Than Strange
CBS Radio Network
von
Bob and Ray bring their distinctive comic sensibility to radio in a program built around sketches, character voices, and playful send-ups of familiar broadcasting styles. The humor comes from the contrast between an earnest presentation and the absurdity of the people and situations being presented.
Rather than following a single continuing story, the show offers a succession of comic bits and invented personalities. Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding were known for their understated delivery and precise timing, making interviews, announcements, and other radio conventions fertile ground for gentle parody.
The result is dry, offbeat comedy that rewards attention to the performers’ voices and pauses as much as to the jokes themselves. This recording is identified with the CBS Radio Network and carries the episode title “Fiction Is Truther Than Strange.”
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
