The Great American Pie Company

In the sleepy river town of Gloning, a home‑baked pie empire begins to rise from the kitchen of Mrs. Deacon. Her famous crusts quickly become the talk of the East Side, prompting her idle husband, Ephraim, to take on delivery routes he’d rather avoid. When a rival baker, Mrs. Phineas Doolittle, undercuts Deacon’s prices, the two families find themselves locked in a good‑natured feud that spills onto the town’s bridge and into the shade beside the Mud River.

The story follows Eph and Phineas as they pause their rivalry to discuss the economics of pie‑selling, the pride of craftsmanship, and the stubborn habits of small‑town entrepreneurs. Their banter, peppered with humor and gentle sarcasm, reveals more about community values than about any grand conspiracy. Listeners are treated to a charming slice of early‑20th‑century Americana, where a simple dessert becomes the catalyst for laughter, rivalry, and unexpected camaraderie.
