...show, entitled "Good Soup", is hosted by Josh Freeman '70. In the first installment Freeman outlined some of the themes around which future programs will be built, such as one illustrating the 'Geographic Idiom in Rock', one show consisting entirely of hit-songs written by Jerry Ragovay ("Time Is On My Side"), entire shows devoted to a single major rock group and perhaps one program of the obscure versions of well known songs...
...Josh Arnold is 17, going on adulthood, and grown up everywhere but in the head. When his father volunteers for the Navy in World War II, Josh and his decaying Southern-belle mama go off to wait at the family summer place in Corazón Sagrado, a tiny town in the mountains of New Mexico.

He uses the child as a kind of ventriloquist's dummy through which to josh, mimic and needle his wife and the world. In a performance of sustained pyrotechnics, Finney does petrifyingly funny parodies of a Viennese neurologist who first assessed Joe's brain damage and of a pipe-sucking Anglican clergyman who is quite unstrung to hear God described as "a manic-depressive rugby footballer." To Joe Egg's mother, Sheila (Zena Walker), the child has become another pet to coddle along with...
