“The True
Story Of The Coward Brothers” Follows Two Musical Brothers - One English, One
American, Both The Illegitimate Sons Of Dubious Parentage Who May, As They
Claim To Be, “One And Half-Brothers” - Perhaps A Reference To The Disparity In
Their Height And Relative Talents. In This Satirical Audio Series Henry And
Howard Coward Are Lightly Grilled By Radio Host, Sterling Lockhart (Harry
Shearer) As They Bitterly Retrace The Story Of Being Duped Out Of Their Royalties
And Rightful Place In Pop History By Their Cutthroat Manager Who, Among Other
Things, Persuaded Them To Fake Their Own Deaths. Their Sometimes Poignant And
Heartrending Story Reveals An Improbable Love Triangle Involving Their
Publisher’s Secretary, Phyliss Dandy (Rhea Seehorn), As Well As Entertaining
Listeners With Tales Of Their Lost Music, Unsupportable Claims Of Having
Written Titles Curiously Adjacent To More Famous Songs, Such As “A Lotta Money”,
“Tipsy Woman” And Their Failed Attempt At Cold War Topicality, “My Baby Just
Whistles (Here Come The Missiles)”
