When I was a kid in the early 1960s, I heard this episode and was inspired. I used an old reel-to-reel I'd been given to record my own shows. I used a potato chip bag for campfires and a forest fire, and I drummed my fingers to simulate horses running.
As a kid, I watched television progs of The Lone Ranger starring Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels. We never had these radio programmes in England. So this is a treat for me. Greetings from Scarborough North Yorkshire.
One of my favourite memories of my father retelling his favourite radio show! My earliest memory of classical music. Turned out to be my lifelong career!
Feels like We're reliving what the kids back in the day were listening to. No screens, Just your imagination. Like listing to an Audio book. This is pretty much the earliest forms of podcasts. :) It truly feels like I'm with those kids, listening to this radio show. What a special moment! I'll never forget it. Reliving the history.
Probably the earliest known surviving episode of the radio series. By this time, it was heard on the Mutual network (under regional sponsorship) three nights a week [this was a Friday episode].
I recently trying to find the actual first Long Ranger radio episode from January 1933 and I came to find out that before 1937 or 38, all radio are broadcast live and didn’t get recorded unfortunately. Such a shame. I still like to think somewhere there is an actual recording of a first Lone Ranger episode, waiting to be discovered…
@@rayvega3163 Highly doubtful. If old baseball games are any indication, the oldest surviving recording of a game is the 1934 All Star Game which would've been a full 18 months later.
This has to be one of the earliest recorded episodes, since they didn't start regularly recording the show until 1938. Maybe an experiment to see how feasible recording these for syndication would be?
I'm trying to find an episode that involves a man who was kicked off a wagon train because he overheard two characters called Cap Sanders and Dakota Dick conspiring with an Indian to plunder the train. Do you know the title and/or date of that show?
@@booradley32 Thank you, and that is indeed the one, but I actually already found out. I needed to get some lines of dialogue in an Indian language for a show my radio recreation group was doing. 🙂

Thank you for uploading these!!
Great story
American Pickers season 3 episode 8 brought me here ❤ February 18, 2024, We still have a lot of radio dramas here in Davao city mostly for adults 😂.
I watched the episode (though not very closely), but don't get the connection. What about it brought you here?

The episode your looking for might be called Medicine Rock, but I’m not positive
