The transcription is from an episode of “It’s All Been Done Radio Hour,” a scripted podcast styled after vintage radio shows, performed without sets or costumes. The hosts, Sam and Darren, open by acknowledging the date, February 14th, which they note is not only Valentine’s Day but also Frederick Douglass Day—a date Douglass chose for himself since his exact birthdate was unknown. They also mention other February 14th observances, including Library Lovers’ Day, Read-in-Child Day, International Book Giving Day, National Organ Donor Day, and National Have a Heart Day. Darren jokes that he is secretly the reincarnation of Frederick Douglass, adding comic relief. The show then transitions to introducing its characters: Kim, a former superhero who now works part-time while managing her family business; her husband Carl Darling, a former police commissioner; and Larry, a time traveler and dimension hopper with a bionic arm who now supervises supervillains at Pimmer Prison—though he claims his adventures were accidental. The episode also features a segment from a character called “the Paul,” who delivers a poetic, enigmatic monologue, describing himself as a tiny pebble in one’s shoe or an empty chocolate box, representing guilt and unnoticed presence. The tone is whimsical, self-aware, and playful, blending humor with quirky storytelling. The overall vibe is lighthearted, with a mix of character introductions and abstract performance, inviting listeners into a unique, nostalgic auditory experience.
Welcome to it's all been done radio hour! We're a scripted podcast in the style of old-time radio cereals with no sets or costumes. Please silence your devices even if you're streaming at home. It's only polite, but feel free to laugh grown or authentically react. Thank you to Mad Lab for hosting us. Yeah, there's well. Hey Sam, guess what day it is. I know Darren, it's Valentine's day. Well, sir, but do you know what else? Saturday. It's Frederick Douglass Day. Really? On Valentine's Day? Yes, it's his chosen birthday since he didn't know his exact birthday. That's interesting. Well, today being. It's also a library lover's day, Redear Child Day, International Book Giving Day. That's cool. I love to read. I know. I'm surprised he didn't know about those. Me too. But today we're. You know what else? It's National Organ Donut Day. And are you a donor? Of course. Good, because it's National Have a Heart Day. Haha, I get it because Valentine's and the heart is an organ, boom, boom. I'll put a pet after wearing this day. No, the poor puppy. Global movie day and National Ferris Wheel Day. I do feel like I got on a ride. I didn't expect. Darren, how do you know so much about February 14th? I'm secretly the reincarnation of Frederick Douglass. Shh, don't tell anyone. Wait, what? Without further ado. If you saw me, I'd pray you out. [Music] Shall we sing, are we recording? Yes, we are. Shall we raise a plot to go, before we bring this introduction to a close? Our voices are no more, my skill, all of the performance. But hey, if you adore us, it's your laughter to inform us. Or if you grow up, you'll adore us. Where exactly is an honest welcome one, and all in joy, the show? Our next program tonight features that fearless fighter with fantastic features, the top-notch tangler. Oh, now you're making me blush. With the cosmic comet protecting Tipton and her stead, has she hung up her cape for good? Of course not. Just more of a part-time gig while I get my family business in order. Kim's husband, Carl Darling, is the former police commissioner. I'm weighing my options. Does anyone still work around here? All right, Larry, a time traveler and dimension hopper with a bionic arm, who stands over supervillains at Pimmer Prison. Ah, hey, for now. Also, all that time traveling and dimension hopping was what you'd call an accident. Hold on! Stop! Who are you? I am the tiny pebble in your shoe that hides when you look for it. I am the shameful empty box of Valentine's chocolates. You don't remember consuming after your late night drunk in binge. I am the Paul, and this is my segment. Who is this hero that sits in city knees? They might not watch him, but he always sits seats. One, the one, the one, the one, the one. One, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one. Guess I am the Paul, and I stand tall. Thank you for having me on all of my mind. I take you to the Father, and with the voice. And if you do, I have no choice. Straight, straight. The Paul, the one, the one, the one. The Paul, the one.
