Hello and welcome…to this Radio Drama Page, my name is Capt. Joe Ely Carrales, III and I am he author of a political satire type that is yet to take hold in America…The Radio Drama.

For many years, I have been a fan of old time radio shows like “Fibber McGee and Molly” and the “Great Gildersleeve.” Sadly, these radio dramas of the past are no longer made. I am also a fan of modern Political Talk Radio Shows like the nationally produced Michael Savage, Laura Ingraham and Lars Larson Shows and local South Texas favorites The Eric Von Wade Show, Lago in the Morning and, yes, even NPR. What better way to combine the two radio genres than with “One Night in Corpus Christi.”

What’s the Show about?

“One night in Corpus Christi” follows the lives of Douglas and Honey McKillyou and their neighbors, Reggie Parkinson and Trixie Walker, as they try to deal with life in the “Capital of South Texas,” Corpus Christi.

The purpose of the episodes is to provide commentary on local and national issues and, perhaps above all, to entertain. Fan feedback is appreciated, welcomed and actually used. It is hoped that one can gain insight into South Texas life by reading about it. Don’t worry, extra pains are endured to insure that the writing isn’t too, regional.

So please take the time to read these scripts and see if they “float your boat!”
