National Public Lands day is this weekend, and how those lands are managed, could be changing. Public lands writer Jonathan Thompson discusses shrinking monuments, roadless rules and other changes to land policy -- and the future of water tapped from the Colorado River. Then, Colorado's deep-rooted tattoo culture. Also, Colorado Wonders about an Old West bank robber who -- legend has it -- was shot and killed by her sheriff husband. 

In the 26th Hey Arnold Anniversary Show, Arun Mehta welcomes Hey Arnold! creator Craig Bartlett for a fan-driven journey through the show's history, its most enduring mysteries and the stories that might still lie ahead. Craig revisits the creative decisions behind Ruth, Helga, Gerald and the wider Hillwood cast; explains how artists such as Tuck Tucker helped the characters evolve; reflects on the casting of George Takei and Jean Smart as Phoebe's parents; and reveals the inspirations behind episodes including “Gerald's Game” and “The Ghost Bride.”The discussion goes deep on Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie, including what Arnold realises about Helga during the bridge scene, why Craig considers the long-awaited film a complete success and how the final story changed from an earlier, much darker idea. Craig also gives a candid update on Season 6, explains why any revival ultimately rests with Nickelodeon and imagines a sixth-grade continuation with Arnold's parents back home, Arnold and Helga navigating a loving but stormy relationship, and new conflicts at the boarding house.Craig also opens up about the unmade The Patakis spin-off and the surprising performer he once imagined as the mysterious Fuzzy Slippers. Beyond Hillwood, he traces the origin of his Old West comedy Party Wagon, shares an update on the feature-length Ready Jet Go! project, discusses the fate of Sky Rat, and offers practical advice for creators pitching animated series. The conversation closes with reflections on modern animation, industry consolidation, creative mentorship and the enduring connection between Hey Arnold! and its fans.

Dan Flores is back for another visit on the podcast. If you're a fan of the history of the American West, then Dan is no stranger—he's the author of many of my favorite books, including American Serengeti, Coyote America, and Wild New World. Most recently, he wrapped up a 42-episode series with the MeatEater network called The American West with Dan Flores, covering everything from bison and wolves to the origins of our public lands and what it means to belong to a place. It's the closest most of us will get to sitting in one of Dan's university classes, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Dan is Professor spent much of his academic career at the University of Montana, but he's always been less interested in the Old West of cattle drives and gunfights than in what he calls the natural West—the landscapes, animals, Native people, and ideas that make this region unlike anywhere else. He grew up in Louisiana, a place with almost no public land, and spent the 1970s looking for a foothold in the real West. He found three: the canyon country outside Lubbock, Montana's Bitterroot Valley, and the Galisteo Valley south of Santa Fe, where he and his wife, Dr. Sara Dant, live today. In each place, he dug in, learned the country, and went to work restoring it. As expected, we covered a ton in this episode: We started with the story behind The American West series and how a decades-long friendship with Steven Rinella finally turned into 42 episodes. We discussed the biggest epiphany Dan had while making it—that for those of us living here now, the public lands matter far more than the frontier ever did. Dan traces the origins of public lands back to George Perkins Marsh, a wildly influential public intellectual most of us have never heard of, and forward through John Wesley Powell, the first forest reserves, and the end of homesteading in the 1930s. We dug into Theodore Roosevelt's transformation from a young man who rushed to Dakota Territory to kill a buffalo before they were all gone into a president willing to break with his own Gilded Age class to protect the landscapes and wildlife he loved. We also talked about repeat photography and the staggering disappearance of the glaciers in Glacier National Park, the willful destruction of Western wildlife, bioregionalism and rewilding on a scale that any of us can manage, and a few book recommendations to round it out. Be sure to check the episode notes for links to everything we discussed, including the full American West series and the new 2026 edition of Coyote America. Dan is as generous with his time and wisdom as anyone I know, and I always come away from these conversations with a longer reading list and a better understanding of this place. --- The American West with Dan Flores podcast Dan's Books Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/dan-flores-2 --- THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Mountain & Prairie is listener supported via Patreon, and brought to you with support from the Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust, MIRASOL: Looking at the Sun, Patagonia Books, the Rye Resurgence Project for their generous sponsorship. --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 0:00 - Introducing Dan Flores and highlighting the Rye Resurgence Project 7:24 - From writing to audio 13:10 - The natural West 20:01 - Aha! moments 28:41 - George Perkins Marsh 44:43 - Animal eradication 52:31 - Teddy Roosevelt deep-dive 1:05:18 - Place 1:13:56 - Rewilding the Bitterroot 1:20:12 - Rewilding on your own scale 1:23:06 - Book recs and wrapping up --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

Our tale follows the loquacious CECIL PEACHTREE (Malcolm McDowell) stuffy, well educated, English schoolteacher who's only lived his life's experiences through the books he so passionately loves, and DOOLEY(James Paxton) an illiterate outlaw who's lived a reckless and dangerous life of actual adventure.We open on CECIL standing on a dusty and desolate train platform. He's been traveling across the Old West on his way to the tiny, frontier town of Fortune, where he'll begin a new job, and a new chapter of his life, as headmaster of the local schoolhouse. But when he learns he has missed the last train, CECIL is left stranded in the middle of nowhere, not knowing what to do next.To make matters worse, CECIL is held up by DOOLEY, a fearsome gunslinger. After being robbed of all of his cash and personal possessions, CECIL harkens back to the age old adage made famous by Hippocrates, "Desperate times call for desperate measures". With no other options available to him, CECIL goes against his better judgment and proposes a deal; If DOOLEY agrees to escort him to Fortune, he can have CECIL'S entire teacher's stipend, a month's pay, which is awaiting him upon his arrival. Cash strapped, and desperate himself, DOOLEY reluctantly agrees. What unfolds is an arduous yet heartfelt journey, where our mismatched travelers form an uncommon bond. Along the way, they encounter ferocious bandits, harrowing horse chases, barroom brawls and bawdy saloon gals.At a time when books are being banned across the country and education itself is under attack, LAST TRAIN TO FORTUNE is an allegory about how knowledge sets us free, a theme that couldn't be more relevant than it is right now.  Also starring Mary Steenburgen and Bernadette Peters.Heres the trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qVU3wln7PI Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

This episode combines two of my favorite topics when it comes to history: the discovery of ancient hidden ruins and cowboy exploration of the wild west. In this episode I read a chapter from the book "Mysteries of the Old West," that recounts a fascinating true story from 1888 where two cowboys mistakenly stumble upon a lost city hidden in the cliffs of southwest Colorado while searching for their lost cattle. How would they find their way inside the ancient cliff dwellings? What did they see and experience deep inside? Who were these ancient inhabitants and why did it seem that they had suddenly vanished without a trace? So what really happened to the Anasazi? Why do the legends of the other four-corners tribes whisper that the Anasazi disappeared? Why does the ancient rock art of the Anasazi seem to depict strange spiral vortexes, portals, and what appears to be entities that came through them such as humanoids, chimeras and giant, six-fingered and six-toed footprints? At the end of this episode I share the shocking details of an archaeological excavation that appears to reveal that the Anasazi met a horrific end...

After the loss of his trading post, Jim Bridger guides an army column to Utah Territory to confront Brigham Young and the Mormons. Bridger leads a frustrating expedition to the Yellowstone region, and then guides the U.S. Army to northern Wyoming as it attempts to build forts along the Bozeman Trail. Bridger warns the Army about the dangers of the mission, and his fears are proved valid when warriors under war chief Red Cloud devastate an army column in the infamous Fetterman Fight.

News: Construction walls are up as a piece of Disney California Adventure history is coming down as the Paradise Gardens gazebo is removed. The structure originally opened in 2001 as Santa Rosa Seed and Supply in the park's former Bountiful Valley Farm area before being relocated to Paradise Gardens in 2011. Disney has not announced what will replace it, but construction walls suggest more changes could be on the way. – https://www.micechat.com/444728-disneyland-update-paradise-gardens-gazebo-shootin-exposition-mickey-souvenir-ticket/ Other construction continues across the Disneyland Resort, with walls and scaffolding visible in several areas. In Disneyland Park, refurbishment projects are underway in Adventureland, Rancho del Zocalo, Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree, and parts of Tomorrowland. At Disney California Adventure, exterior work continues on The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure, while the walkway between Avengers Campus and Cars Land has recently reopened after an extended closure. Downtown Disney remains a hub of activity as work continues on the future Porto's Bakery location, along with exterior refurbishments at several nearby shops and restaurants. – https://www.micechat.com/444728-disneyland-update-paradise-gardens-gazebo-shootin-exposition-mickey-souvenir-ticket/ New aerial photos show the four ticket booths in the Disneyland esplanade have been completely demolished. These booths are being removed to make way for the new pedestrian bridge that will cross Harbor Boulevard. The project will connect the esplanade to a future parking structure and transportation hub. The four recently removed booths join two others that were previously demolished, leaving only two ticket booths remaining in the esplanade area. Those two booths remain open, and guests can also purchase tickets in person at the Lost and Found booth. Demolition equipment remains on site as work continues. The new parking and transportation complex is planned for the current Cast Member parking lot and will include approximately 6,000 parking spaces, electric vehicle charging stations, rideshare and shuttle facilities, and security screening. The project is part of the broader DisneylandForward expansion initiative – https://wdwnt.com/2026/09/aerial-views-reveal-totality-of-ticket-booth-teardown-at-disneyland/ The Anaheim Ducks and Disneyland Resort are expanding their partnership. Beginning with the 2026-27 NHL season, the iconic Disneyland Resort logo will appear on both sides of Ducks players' helmets during regular season games, playoffs, and team practices.The partnership celebrates the team's Disney roots. The franchise was originally founded by The Walt Disney Company in 1993 as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, inspired by the hit Disney film. The new sponsorship also includes arena signage, social media content, and a Disneyland-sponsored Ducks home game later this season. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-resort-logo-anaheim-ducks-helmets-2026-27/ After a two-month refurbishment, Disneyland's Frontierland Shootin' Exposition has officially reopened. The classic attraction closed in July for what turned out to be a refresh of the historic shooting gallery, including new paint, restored decorative elements, and polished rifles.The good news for fans is that the experience remains largely unchanged. The interactive Old West town, with more than 100 targets, is back in operation, and the price is still just 50 cents for approximately 25 shots. While Disneyland continues to preserve the 1957 attraction, Walt Disney World's version was removed in recent years. – https://www.micechat.com/444728-disneyland-update-paradise-gardens-gazebo-shootin-exposition-mickey-souvenir-ticket/ SnackChat: Beignet Day – https://www.micechat.com/444728-disneyland-update-paradise-gardens-gazebo-shootin-exposition-mickey-souvenir-ticket/ Discussion Topic: Disneyland Ambassador Connie Swanson Lane Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

And he was creative in how he dispensed his touch. (To Die In The Old West) *** Charles Howard Schmid Jr. charmed and befriended the teenagers of Tucson, Arizona in the 1960s — all while brutally murdering three young girls. (The Pied Piper of Tuscon) *** One of the lesser-known crytpids is something called the Hidebehind, a mysterious creature that stalked 19th-century lumberjacks, preying on those who let their guard down in the forest. (The Hidebehind) *** Brianna Maitland left her dishwashing job and was never seen alive again. Despite various theories and sightings, Brianna's disappearance continues to baffle investigators and haunt her family, who still hold out hope for answers and her safe return. (The Vanishing of Brianna Maitland) *** In 1906, explorer Robert Peary claimed to have discovered a mysterious island he named Crocker Land, but was it a genuine find, a calculated deception, or something even more bizarre? (The Myth of Crocker Island) *** Lyndia Morel's quiet drive home took a chilling turn when she encountered a mysterious craft and experienced a baffling episode of missing time. Was it a case of alien abduction? (The Lyndia Morel Incident) *** In May of 1963, a bizarre creature terrorized Centreville, Illinois, prompting over 50 calls to the police from alarmed residents.

Welcome to another Paranormal Rewatch. This time, we'll examine a 2020 Ghost Hunters episode starring Grant Wilson as he and the gang investigate the very haunted town of Clifton, Arizona in S2 E1 “Terror Town Part 1.” The mining town was once known as one of the most violent places in the Old West. Maybe that's why such a small town has four cemeteries. Every square inch of this town is haunted from the Clifton Jail to the Clifton Hotel. Even the streets have their share of apparitions. This is gonna be a wild one, especially when we get to part 2.

This week, Michael Walsh joins the AIPT Comics Podcast to talk Jonah Hex and the Shadow of Death, his new DC Next Level series launching October 7. Walsh digs into bringing horror to the Old West, exploring an older Jonah Hex wrestling with his past, building new supernatural mythology into the DC Universe, and the influences behind his take on the legendary gunslinger. We also get into Exquisite Corpses, including how the writers' room shaped Walsh as a storyteller, his role overseeing the current spinoffs, and some early teases about what he and James Tynion IV are cooking up for Season 2.Before that, Dave and Chris Coplan break down the week's biggest comics news, including the Amazing Spider-Man #1000 preview and DC extending The Fury of Firestorm.

What did you see in Jonah that made you think he could be a genuinely great horror character?AIPT: This is an older Jonah Hex whose days as a bounty hunter seemingly ended some time ago. What interested you about meeting him at this stage of his life instead of telling another story about Hex in his prime?AIPT: The solicitation describes Jonah's life as one of “bloodshed, pain, and guilt,” and redemption seems central to this story. Does Jonah actually believe he deserves redemption, or is taking on this threat more about finally finding something worth dying for?AIPT: The evil arriving in Ashecott is described as something older than the town and from beyond the world its residents know. How do you introduce something truly supernatural without losing the dirt, grit, and grounded quality that makes a Jonah Hex Western feel like Jonah Hex?AIPT: We're still waiting for season two of Exquisite Corpses, so I have to sneak one in. After building that world collaboratively with so many creators, did anything about that experience change the way you approached writing, drawing, or surprising readers on Jonah Hex and the Shadow of Death?AIPT: Finally, Jonah Hex gets dropped into an Exquisite Corpses-style killing competition. No guns allowed. What completely inappropriate weapon are you giving him, and how far does he make it?

Send us Fan MailIn this gripping final episode of our Wild West Podcast series, the sun-scorched plains of the Texas Panhandle erupt into a brutal struggle for survival during the late summer of 1874. When a sprawling government supply train led by Captain Willis Lyman approaches the treacherous Washita River, it is suddenly engulfed by a massive war party of Kiowa and Comanche warriors. What begins as a chaotic morning ambush orchestrated by fierce chiefs like Lone Wolf, Mamanti, and Satanta quickly devolves into a desperate, days-long siege. Pinned down in a dusty, sun-baked ravine with their water supply rapidly depleting, Lyman's men are forced to form a frantic wagon ring, enduring a relentless storm of lead and parching thirst as they fight off unrelenting waves of attacks.As the agonizing standoff stretches on, the sheer grit of the frontier is put to the ultimate test on both sides of the battlefield. Listeners will be transported right into the smoke and chaos, feeling the desperation that drives the young scout William Schmalsle to make a daring midnight ride for salvation, while witnessing the unsurpassed courage of the young warrior Botalye, who defiantly charges through the soldiers' lines four times. As we close the book on this monumental series, this cinematic climax—culminating in the dramatic rescue by the Sixth Cavalry—serves as a powerful reminder of the unforgiving reality of the 19th-century frontier, bringing the authentic, untamed spirit of the Old West to life.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

Would you walk into a 7-Eleven and flip a gold coin for a Slurpee?Tricia is living for a new Texas law that recognizes gold and silver coins as legal tender. It feels like the Old West walked into the studio. JB wants to bring back pelts, cinnamon, silk scarves, and frankincense, and the whole bit turns into a spice-wars farmers-market fantasy about haggling for snacks instead of tapping a card.Care or Don't Care hits an Idaho dinosaur track with Austin connections, city frogs rewriting their mating calls so the ladies can hear them over traffic, office sabotage theories, and Dick Van Dyke still working out at one hundred. Tomorrow they try again to give away ten Tim McGraw tickets, with social answers and an early-morning tip on question five. The wrap revisits the morning's overachiever callers and the sad day JB realizes he can no longer armpit fart.Subscribe, leave a review, and share this with someone who still keeps change in a little baggy.

In 2024, Nina's small-engine plane crashes into a lake in the Wyoming mountains. Her boyfriend Ben, who was flying it, is nowhere to be found. Lost and freezing on the shore, Nina is armed with only a few old protein bars, a phone with no service, and a vague hope of rescue. It is up to her to survive in the vast wilderness. But then she stumbles upon Sunrise—a town of the Old West that is strangely well maintained, but seemingly abandoned. A place that holds the missing link to a ghost story one hundred years in the making.In 2003, Sand Daw's golden boy Coll is putting the finishing touches on the town's annual historical reenactment. But when an upstart would-be author comes to him with questions about one of Sunrise's most beloved figures, it threatens to upend everything he thought he knew about the city—and himself.In 1902, town founder, gunslinger, and legendary pulp hero Anton Vargas returns to Sunrise and quickly takes charge of a group searching for a missing boy. But who really is Vargas? What does he know about the boy's disappearance? And why has he returned after such a long absence?These three strangers are separated by time and circumstance. But Sunrise's many secrets are like gunpowder: quiet, contained, until they encounter a spark. Magisterial and suspenseful, Téa Obreht's novel Sunrise (Random House, 2026) challenges the myths we think we know: of heroes and villains, of the people and places to which we lay claim, and, most of all, of our own lives. Téa Obreht is the internationally bestselling author of The Tiger's Wife, Inland, and The Morningside. Her novels have won the Orange Prize for Fiction and the Southwest Book Award, and have been finalists for the National Book Award and the Dylan Thomas Prize, among others. Her work has appeared in The Best American Short Stories, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Harper's Magazine, and Zoetrope: All-Story. Originally from the former Yugoslavia, she divides her time between Dublin, Ireland, and Wyoming.

Meet Billy the Kid, one of the most famous outlaws in the Wild West! Born in the 1850s, Billy was known for his daring adventures and quick draw with a gun. He lived a life full of excitement and danger, often on the run from the law. Billy became famous for his role in the Lincoln County War, a conflict in New Mexico. Despite being an outlaw, some people saw him as a hero who stood up against unfairness. Discover the exciting story of Billy the Kid and how he became a legend of the Old West.

In the spring of 1886, two El Paso madams went to war over a young prostitute named Bessie Colvin, and by the time the smoke cleared, one of them was shot in her privates and the other was under arrest for attempted murder. This is the story of Alice Abbott, the six-foot-tall brothel operator known as Fat Alice, and her rival across the street, Etta Clark, better known as Etta the Grasshopper. We cover how prostitution actually worked in the Old West, from the crib girls at the bottom to the saloon girls and the high-end parlor houses, along with the $10 weekly fine that conveniently went straight into the pockets of the El Paso police department.   Wild West Quiz - https://wildwestquiz.com/   Check out the website! https://www.wildwestextra.com/   Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/   Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/   Buy Me A Coffee!  https://buymeacoffee.com/wildwest   Join Patreon for ad-free bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/wildwestextra   Merch! https://wildwestextramerch.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Step into the world of classic television with hosts Freddy Morris and Joe Juvland as they dive into The Twilight Zone episode "Showdown with Rance McGrew." In this quirky installment, a Hollywood actor known for his Western roles suddenly finds himself transported into the real Old West, where he must confront the genuine dangers he only pretended to face on screen. Freddy and Joe break down the episode's sharp satire of fame, ego, and the blurred line between fiction and reality, offering insights, trivia, and a few laughs along the way. Perfect for fans of sci-fi, fantasy, and iconic TV storytelling.

Dodge City, Kansas, earned its reputation as the wickedest little city in America in just a single year, back when it was still a lawless buffalo camp with no sheriff, no judge, and nothing more than a hole in the ground for a jail. In the years that followed, Texas cattle replaced the buffalo and transformed Dodge into the Queen of the Cowtowns. And the lawmen who kept a lid on the violence, like Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson, went on to become some of the most famous names of the Old West. Also discussed are Dora Hand, Bill Tilghman, Clay Allison, Charlie Bassett, Ed Masterson, Luke Short, Mysterious Dave Mather, the Dodge City War, and the infamous Long Branch saloon.Wild West Quiz - https://wildwestquiz.com/ Check out the website! https://www.wildwestextra.com/ Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/ Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/ Buy Me A Coffee!  https://buymeacoffee.com/wildwest Join Patreon for ad-free bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/wildwestextra Merch! https://wildwestextramerch.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Calamity Jane might be the most famous woman to ever come out of the Old West. According to the legend, she scouted for the Army, rode for the Pony Express, fought hostile natives, and married Wild Bill Hickok. The only problem is almost none of that is true. Join me as we dig into the real Martha Jane Canary. We'll discuss her tumultuous childhood, the truth about her romance with Wild Bill (and why she's really buried beside him at Mount Moriah), her work for Al Swearengen at the Gem Theater, friendship with Buffalo Bill Cody, and a ton more! The myth cast Canary as a buckskin heroine, but the actual evidence makes her much more interesting.   Wild West Quiz - https://wildwestquiz.com/   Check out the website! https://www.wildwestextra.com/   Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/   Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/   Buy Me A Coffee!  https://buymeacoffee.com/wildwest   Join Patreon for ad-free bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/wildwestextra   Merch! https://wildwestextramerch.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Snails, Superstitions and a Treasure Hunt in the Old West! Carly and Lewis have their hands full with all of these things (and more) as they investigate both the mysterious letter-writer, and the lost treasure of the Lost Dutchman's Mine!

Send us Fan MailStep into the captivating world of the American frontier, where history, grit, and surprising truths converge to reshape everything you thought you knew about the Old West. In this engaging address, our speaker Dr. Frank Sharp peels back the layers of myth to reveal a astonishing reality: post-Civil War Texas was pulled from deep economic depression not just by hard-working cowboys, but by the legendary Texas Longhorn itself—a drive that infused what would be billions of dollars in modern currency into a devastated economy. Drawing on decades of firsthand research and vivid field experience, the narrative takes listeners from the original 1493 Spanish cattle imported by Columbus straight to the dusty trails of Fort Griffin and the iconic Western Cattle Trail.Yet, this isn't merely a nostalgic walk down memory lane; it is an urgent rally for historical preservation. Listeners will be hooked as the speaker exposes a startling modern tragedy: while hyper-selective breeding has filled associations with crossbred "freaks" valued solely for oversized horn spans, the true, genetically pure, small-bodied Texas Longhorn is actually on the brink of critical extinction. With a perfect blend of Third-Grade math, sharp wit, interactive banter, and authentic passion, Dr. Frank Sharp offers an unforgettable look at the animal that quite literally carried American civilization forward. Tune in to discover why saving the true Texas Longhorn means safeguarding the very heart of Western heritage.History AnalyzedHistory Analyzed is a podcast which investigates both history's biggest moments and...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

Pull on your boots and saddle up for another journey into the Old West! This week, we're celebrating one of radio's most beloved heroes with two exciting adventures starring The Lone Ranger. Along the way, we'll encounter mistaken identities, dangerous outlaws, and a villain whose name may sound familiar to longtime listeners. We'll also take a nostalgic look back at the incredible legacy of The Lone Ranger, the impact the series had on generations of children, and share a few personal memories about my brother, whose love for the masked rider made this episode especially meaningful. In This Episode A look back at the remarkable history of The Lone Ranger radio series. Little-known facts about the actors who brought the masked man to life. Memories of my brother's childhood adventures with his Lone Ranger outfit. "The Notorious El Diablo" (March 28, 1956) "The Apache Kid" (March 2, 1938) Which Apache Kid is the more dangerous outlaw—the one from The Lone Ranger or the one from The Cisco Kid? You decide! Featured Stories The Notorious El Diablo Originally Aired: March 28, 1954 - The Lone Ranger goes undercover by impersonating the infamous outlaw El Diablo in hopes of infiltrating a dangerous gang. Unfortunately, there's one problem—someone else is already pretending to be El Diablo! What follows is a fast-paced tale of deception, mistaken identity, and classic western action. The Apache Kid Originally Aired: March 2, 1938 - A notorious outlaw known as the Apache Kid is terrorizing the frontier, and only the Lone Ranger and Tonto stand between him and justice. If the name sounds familiar, that's because we recently encountered another Apache Kid while riding with Cisco. Are they the same villain? Probably not—but this one is every bit as dangerous.

Even now, over three decades later, people in the UK are still fascinated and intrigued by the unexplained vanishing of Suzy Lamplugh. (The Suzy Lamplugh Mystery) *** John List planned the murders of his own family so carefully, he almost got away with it. In fact, it took 18 years to catch him. (The Family Man Who Murdered His Family) *** We'll look at what it was like to be a woman in the 17th Century… and accused of witchcraft.
