 Claudia is an old time radio show about the ups and downs of being a newlywed. Topics include dealing with in-laws, burning dinner, losing socks, buying really big dogs, and all the little moments that make up a life together.
The characters Claudia and David Naughton were created by Rose Franken who wrote a series of popular short stories about the fictional newlywed in the 1930s. The books were later adapted into 3 films by RKO. Due to the popularity of these films, Coca-cola decided to sponsor a 15 minute weekday show. Staring Kathryn Bard and Paul Crabtree, Joe King is the announcer.
Claudia is a lighthearted soap with relatable characters doing what regular people were doing. David is a WWII veteran trying to have a good life with his new wife and Claudia, although sometimes silly, is a loving wife. The show offers an excellent glimpse of a realistic 1940s American household.
