Robert Gill, Jr., 2026

In 1932, Mr. Pritchett buys a grand new radio for his general store without consulting his wife. He expects admiring customers and a welcome increase in trade. He gets a store full of islanders who want to hear Eddie Cantor and have no intention of buying anything. On Carroway Island, entertainment is scarce. Opinions are plentiful. And once the neighbors discover that a mainland broadcast can be enjoyed at somebody else's expense, Mr. Pritchett finds himself running the island's most popular gathering place, with precious little to show for it at the till. His wife, Cora, has her own opinions about the purchase. The local approach to machinery does little to improve matters. And the Ladies Auxiliary recognizes an opportunity that may leave Mr. Pritchett wishing he had consulted his wife in the first place. Sunday Afternoon Wireless is a warm, gently satirical Carroway Island short story about modern conveniences, marital arithmetic, and a community perfectly willing to embrace progress—provided someone else pays for it.
