The Damon Runyon Theater, "A Piece Of Pie" (1949)

So, I'm a big fan of radio theatre. Recently I stumbled across an episode of "The Damon Runyon Theater" that I thought the citizens of Dimsville would enjoy.

First, a little background on this series. Damon Runyon's short stories were the source material for the classic musical "Guys and Dolls", and "The Damon Runyon Theatre" features adaptations of these stories. If you're familiar with "Guys and Dolls", you'll recognize some of the characters in this episode. Prominently featured is Nicely Nicely Johnson, referred to here as Nicely Nicely Jones.

The episode itself, "A Piece of Pie" centers around an eating contest and includes a couple BHMs and one very memorable BBW. I was surprised by the episode's unexpectedly positive message and, well, I'll just leave it at that for now.

You can listen to the episode here.
