Wooden Overcoats

Wooden Overcoats is an absolutely brilliant work of audio comedy. The characters are what really make it sparkle, aside from the snappy writing, vibrant conversation, and true laugh-out-loud fun. The town of Piffling Vale is bursting at the seams with fascinating personalities. The naive mayor, the agnostic priest, the overzealous baker/detective, and the overly overworked doctor are all both silly and surprisingly human. Each of their character arcs starts out a little over-the-top, but they quickly win your heart.

On a little terrible business day in the village, you will meet Rudyard and Antigone Funn, funeral planners. They're a great pair together. Their conversation is brisk and incisive. Audio-fiction can often necessitate a certain level of focus and concentration in order to keep the plot straight, but there's nothing to worry about here. A new funeral home in the hamlet, managed by the lovely and engaging Eric Chapman, is posing a threat to Funn Funeral Directors (to whom Antigone can barely manage to speak a single sentence, so overwhelmed is she by his handsomeness). As a result, a fierce, humorous, and incredibly petty competition between the two enterprises is set in motion.
