Critic reviews

"Tales of the Texas Rangers was another excellent western." (Jon David Swartz and Robert C. Reinehr, Handbook of Old-Time Radio)

A Fun Listening Experience of A Dated Radio Program

This is a radio program from 1952 wherein a story about the Texas Rangers is reenacted. It was an enjoyable experience. The story would be the equivalent to a modern television episode. For me it was more of a time capsule type experience than a scintillating story. I noticed that Stacey Keach Sr. is a part of the production team. I appreciated learning that. Thank You...
