Tales of the Diamond K was a 15-minute syndicated radio show aimed at a juvenile audience, airing in the mid-1950s. Despite claims of a thousand episodes produced, only 39 are known to exist today. Hosted by movie cowboy Ken Maynard and his horse, Tarzan, the series featured exciting stories set in the Old West, including cowboys, cattle trails, rodeos, parades, and hidden treasures. Ken Maynard was an accomplished stuntman and trick rider, performing in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and becoming one of the first singing cowboys in Columbia Records. His career was eventually overshadowed by alcoholism, leading to his passing in 1973.
