  • Summary

  • Some called it, "Dragnet on Horseback." But this 1950-52 Old Time crime Series focused on the exploits of the Texas Rangers and provided keen insights into the work of one most storied police forces in the world and vital nature of their work investigating major crimes across the state of Texas, often operating hundreds of miles away from the metropolitan resources that other fictional lawmen enjoyed.

    Ranger Jayce Pearson (Joel McCrea) portrays the resourcefulness, and ingenuity of the Texas Rangers as he investigates everything from cattle theft, arson, robberies, and shocking murders in rural areas with not witnesses and few clues in cases, many of which were taken from the files of the Texas Rangers.

    Host Adam Graham presents every circulating episode of the series and includes his commentary after each episode as well as responding to listener comments and feedback.

    Introducing The Southwest’s Wildest Outdoor Art: From Lightning Fields to Sun Tunnels from Via Podcast.

    Follow the show: Via Podcast

    A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers.

    In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world.

    Land art you’ll visit in this episode:
    - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada)
    - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah)
    - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah)
    - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico)
    - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona)
