From 1933-1960, listeners tuned in daily to listen to the drama that Ma Perkins offered. Ma Perkins was known as America’s mother of the air. This serial drama was the longest running of its kind on the radio.

Ma Perkins was a widow and the owner of a lumberyard. She was the centre of the town she lived in – always ready to hand out her wise advice, take care of those in need, and defend those who were in trouble.
