About this listen

 "Life of Riley" was a popular American radio sitcom that aired from 1944 to 1951 and was created by Irving Brecher. It starred William Bendix as the main character, Chester A. Riley, a lovable but bumbling and somewhat lazy aircraft worker.
The show revolved around Riley's everyday life, his job at a fictional California aircraft plant, his interactions with his family and friends, and the humorous situations he found himself in. The character of Riley was known for his catchphrase, "What a revoltin' development this is!"
The show's humor came from the misunderstandings, misadventures, and general chaos that ensued in Riley's life. Other notable characters included his patient wife Peg (played by Paula Winslowe), his long-suffering children Babs and Junior, and his best friend Gillis.
"Life of Riley" was a big hit with audiences, known for its relatable and comedic portrayal of middle-class family life. It was adapted into a successful television show in the 1950s, starring William Bendix in the title role as well. The radio show left a lasting legacy in the world of Old Time Radio, remembered as a classic and beloved series from the Golden Age of radio broadcasting.
