'The Complete Woman' is a 6-part series sending up domestic life back in 1960s America that came out a couple of years ago.

Drawing her inspiration from old self-help guides, Amanda Lund creates the domestic guru Marabel May. And you don't have to listen too hard to see through her bright and breezy veneer. Poor Marabel is even reduced to speaking to her domestic appliances in the search for meaningful conversation!

We play some of Episode 1 of The Complete Woman, written and performed by Amanda Lund. There are also two related series called Complete Joy and The Complete Wedding available via Stitcher Premium.
