The HMHS Podcast Network’s Remembering Radio brings you the very first episode of The Wild Bill Hickok Radio Show from April, 1951. Produced by the Mutual Broadcasting System (MBS).
The Wild Bill Hickok Radio Show ran from 1951-1954, and included 271 episodes. The show made the transition to television while keeping the same cast; which is quite unusual.
Of course this show is a fictionalized telling of James Butler (Wild Bill) Hickok, and is intended purely as entertainment and adventure; yet could be used as an opportunity to delve into a study of the “Wild West”. Here are a couple of inexpensive books that may add to your child’s learning experience:
Christianbooks.com has a couple copies left (they are also on back-order) of
Wild Bill Hickok, and Wild Bill Hickok: Legend of The Wild West
Some of you parents may recognize the voice of Jingles; grandparents definitely should – it was that of Andy Devine, a famous character actor.
