Howdy y’all, it’s time for another Western Roundup episode with Jim Beshires, the founder of the Old Time Researchers Group as your host. He’s mostly playing music, but there’s a little drama as well.
First, we start off with a Xiv syndicated series called The Old Corral. It was broadcast in the 1941-42 era, but we don’t have an exact date.
Later, we hear a dramatic offering with the Cisco Kid from 1953. It is an AFRS rebroadcast. Jim mentions that he isn’t sure when the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service quit broadcasting classic radio programs. I don’t have the exact answer, but I know they were until at least 1994. If anyone can fill in more information, that would be appreciated.
Finally, we conclude with more music, including apparently a local or regional program called Riverside Ranch and a 1950 episode of Chuckwagon Jamboree. It isn’t the syndicated 1940’s series, but rather another local program from 1950. There are some other musical programs also played which you can discover for yourself by listening.
I would like to close with a special announcement. This will be the first of a series of special programs, all hosted by Jim. All the episodes you’ll be hearing in the month of May will be hosted by him. There are a lot of fine westerns coming up, as well as a few other surprises, so stay tuned!
