Episode Summary:
Tune in for The Meet the Meeks: Radio Speech, on this week’s podcast
radiopublic.com/comicweb-old-...
Mortimer Meek is talked into giving a speech on the radio by his daughter Peggy. The only problem is that Mortimer gets stage fright, tongue tied, and is prone to fainting spells at the thought of giving a speech in public. Uncle Louie offers to “help”, this makes things worse. Unfortunately Doctor Fermi, the local speech therapist, needs a plumber more than a patient. Mortimer’s wife, Agatha, saves the day, but may ruin his week.

Program Summary:
"Meet the Meeks" was an 11 am, Saturday Morning, OTR Sitcom, originating from WMAQ Radio, Chicago (NBC 1947-1949). Meet the Meeks was a follow up sitcom for the 1940-1942 program "Meet Mr. Meek."
The show starred Forrest Lewis, who played poor old browbeaten Mortimer Meek. Who, along with wife Agatha, daughter Peggy, and Uncle Louie made America laugh every Saturday Morning. This great old time radio show wasn't targeted to a younger audience, but this time slot insured that all families could listen together, and enjoy the antics. Meet Mr. Meek. Each show was about 30 minutes long.
