Abroad with the Lockharts 1930-xx-xx (12) Sightseeing in Rome

"Abroad with the Lockharts 1930-xx-xx (12) Sightseeing in Rome" is the twelfth episode of the 1930s CBS radio comedy series. By this point, the Lockharts—our comedic American travelers—have made their way to Rome, likely after journeying through other European stops following their Parisian train escapade in episode seven. This episode would feature them bumbling through Rome’s iconic sights: picture them gawking at the Colosseum, tossing coins haphazardly into the Trevi Fountain, or getting tangled in a spaghetti mishap at a trattoria. The 1930s lens might amplify Roman stereotypes—gesticulating locals, ancient ruins baffling modern Yankees, or the Lockharts accidentally offending a pompous guide.

The show’s formula thrives on their outsider perspective, so expect laughs from cultural missteps—like mispronouncing “ciao” or mistaking a relic for junk. With no exact date beyond 1930 and scant surviving recordings, the specifics remain a guess based on its travelogue style.
