85 Years of The Lone Ranger



On January 30, 1933, a daring and resourceful masked rider was created to lead the fight for law and order in the early western United States. After 85 years, The Lone Ranger still remains one of the most popular characters in all of fiction. In honor of this anniversary, I'm doing a series of interviews and commentary tracks to celebrate. So return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear! The Lone Ranger rides again!  







To get you warmed up for the future Lone Ranger interviews, here's two I did a few years ago. The first interview is with Dawn Moore. Dawn is the daughter of Clayton Moore (aka The Lone Ranger). In the interview, Dawn talks about her father's life and career. The interview is from September 2014.
The second interview is with Zig Misiak. Zig is the author of the book "Tonto: The Man in Front of the Mask", the first authorized biography of Jay Silverheels (aka Tonto). In the interview, Zig talks all about Jay's life and career. This interview is from November 2015. Listen now and enjoy these two wonderful interviews!
