Gildy: A Legacy in Laughter

In Anatomy of a Gildy Episode, author Peggy Adler offers a compelling, behind-the-scenes look at The Great Gildersleeve, one of radio’s most iconic comedies. Through a single 1947 episode, Adler explores the artistry of Emmy-nominated scriptwriter John Ogden Whedon—tracing his impact from radio’s Golden Age to the birth of the television sitcom.

With a full transcript, historical context, and insights into Whedon’s multigenerational writing legacy, this book is a must-listen for fans of classic media and pop culture historians alike.

This book features the complete episode of The Great Gildersleeve: “Marjorie’s Hotrod Boyfriend,” with Peggy Adler’s Anatomy of a Gildy Episode included as a downloadable PDF.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
