After the Riders’ Phantom 309 Truck Stop successfully diverted the toxic waste trucks, Slocum caught on and thwarted the environmental efforts. As America’s Favorite Cowboys fled the scene on Turbo’s trusty back, henchman Charlie launched a virtue-seeking missile directly in their path. Is this the end of Riders In The Sky?!

709 Return of the Phantom

Riders Radio Theater was a half hour, weekly, cult favorite/public radio show performed live by the two-time Grammy Award-winning western and comedy band Riders In The Sky in Nashville and Cincinnati from 1988-1995. Called at the time "the fastest half hour in radio," each show featured western music, wacky commercials, the National Polka Countdown, characters and comedy bits of all sizes and descriptions, and a cliffhanging serial adventure... all liberally sprinkled with country and folk music guest stars and legends. It was the Golden Age of High Yodeling Adventure and it deserves to live again!
