About the podcast

🧳 Two tickets to Europe. One married couple. Plenty of room for disagreement along the way.
Join Gene and Kathleen Lockhart in Abroad with the Lockharts, a vintage travel comedy following an American husband and wife on a European holiday. Heritage Radio Vault invites you aboard for an early-1930s radio journey full of conversation, contrasting personalities and the pleasures of going somewhere new.

🚢 A holiday before the jet age
The adventure begins with plans for a voyage and a ship bound for Europe. From days at sea to visits to England, Paris and Rome, the series turns travel into a shared listening experience. The destinations change, but the couple’s back-and-forth remains at the centre of the story.

🎭 Real performers, a travelling double act
Gene and Kathleen Lockhart were married in real life as well as partners at the microphone. Their performances give this compact radio serial its appeal: the journey is carried by voices and personality, with your imagination providing the view.

🎧 Where to begin
Start with Planning a Trip to Europe, continue to Sailing Day and At Sea, then follow the recordings through the European stops and Homeward Bound. Choose a destination for a short listening break, or enjoy the available episodes as a holiday unfolding in stages.

📻 For fans of old time radio comedy
Discover a quieter corner of vintage entertainment: travel, married life and familiar disagreements in unfamiliar surroundings. If you enjoy classic radio couples, early broadcasting or historical travel, the Lockharts offer an inviting change of pace.
