Riders Radio Theater, was a Radio Drama (well, comedy/drama) performed by Riders In The Sky that aired on National Public Radio regularly from 1988 to 1995. Set as an anachronistic western melodrama, the stories follow Ranger Doug, Woody Paul, Too Slim and their compatriots as they fumble, yodel, and hero their way through misadventures and regular adventures - usually opposite the villainous A. Swinburne Slocum and his henchman Charlie.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })As the show is a satirical take on actual radio melodramas, it is rather Troperiffic and the Fourth Wall takes a heavy, heavy beating. The characters all alternate between varying degrees of Genre Savvy and Genre Blindness from moment to moment depending on what best entertains, and the writing is definitely not above invoking Meta Humor.Recorded live at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in Nashville, Tennessee and Emory Theater in Cincinnati, Ohio (The Queen City of the West), the show not only had story exposition but also featured musical guests and short comedy skits. The weekly show began in 1988 and ended in 1995, but returned in 1998 to the early 2000s as occasional specials. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall - "What do you say to that, soldier?" "I say POO, sir!" "You say POO?" "I SAY POO!" "POO?" "POO! I.. I said it.. I said it three times now." "That's about two times more than you.." "I HAVE A COPY OF THE SCRIPT, TOO, SIR." | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Riders Radio Theater (Radio) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew - Set in an anachronistic period where ranching, rustling and riding is still a thing but seems to sometimes cross over into modern day times as well, as if there's a special force that keeps Tumbleweed Valley rooted in the late 19th century while the rest of the world moves on, but moving between the two is seamless and doesn't seem odd to anyone. Just as an example, one story involved Slocum building a clandestine nuclear reactor in an abandoned mine. | |
