Ma Perkins
Faye in Love
by
Ma Perkins is a long-running daytime radio serial centered on the warm, practical matriarch of a small Midwestern town. Ma runs a lumberyard in the fictional community of Rushville Center, where her work and steady judgment bring her into the lives of neighbors, friends, and family.
The program unfolds as a continuing domestic drama, with relationships, personal troubles, and community affairs developing across episodes. Ma is both a businesswoman and a trusted confidante, offering a grounded presence as the people around her face changing circumstances and emotional choices.
Its appeal lies in the intimate scale of its storytelling: everyday concerns carry real feeling, and the familiar rhythms of a close-knit town give the serial a reassuring sense of continuity. The episode title, “Faye in Love,” points to a romantic thread within that world.
