The Blue Mojave Radio Show originally aired in Riverside, California in the late 1940s. Until now, no known copies of the show have been found, and our revival has been based solely on an old set of scripts.

Last weekend, while rummaging through a yard sale in the desert town of Blythe, we found a dusty tape reel of the original actor that played Cal Archer, Irvine Tuttle-Click, reading an ad for Milky’s Minty Milk! Click below to listen to this lost audio file!
