On Ron’s Amazing Stories this time we have another one about life in Canada. On episode #650 we played a tale from the series Challenge Of The Yukon. If you haven’t listened to it yet, check it out. This time we have a full hour devoted to a story based on the real North West Mounted Police. A Texas ranger sent to Canada to capture a trapper wanted for murder in Texas. It first aired on Lux Radio Theater on April 13, 1942. 

Also on the show we have a new edition of Not So Important Times In History. What happens when a historical prank on the Royal Navy DOESN’T go sideways? Press that play button to find out.

Featured Story – Northwest Mounted Police

As I mentioned we have only one story this week. It comes from the OTR series Lux Radio Theater. Lux was the biggest, most important, most expensive program on radio of its time. It ran from 1934 until 1955. Our story is a radio adaptation of the film Northwest Mounted Police. This one stars Gary Cooper in the role of a Texas Ranger who travels to Canada to arrest a trapper who’s wanted for murder and who’s stirring up the Natives in a rebellion against the Canadian government.

The Word: This is a telling of the story of Adam and Eve not like anything you have heard before. It first aired on September 14, 1943.
