Fort Laramie

I'm your host, Mark Lavonier.

Westerns in this hour, later on it's Gunsmoke from 1955, but first a broadcast of Fort Laramie called The Beasley Girls, a CBS episode from March 18, 1956.

Fort Laramie.

Fort Laramie, starring Raymond Burr as Captain

Lee Quince.

Specially transcribed tales of the dark and tragic ground of the wild frontier.

That's more like it.

Good water there, grass, natural camps.

Perry Mason also drew upon the West Coast radio pool.

Working steadily in radio since the 1940s, Raymond Burr was a leading player on the West Coast, and in 1956 was actually the star of CBS Radio's Fort Laramie.

CBS Radio.

I used to work for them.

I've also mentioned that our sound, uh, is done by Andrew Rines, whose podcast is the OT- uh, otrwesterns.com, the Old Time Radio Westerns, uh, podcast.

And I wanted to mention a couple of the programming, uh, uh, things that Andrew's done over there at otrwesterns.com. First, he's added, uh, Fort Laramie.

It's a ser- it's a series I'm kind of curious about because it starred, uh, Raymond Burr, which would make it interesting to listen to.

And the other series that he, uh, launched, uh, is Cavalcade of America.
