Straight Arrow ran on Mutual from 1948 to 1951, with Howard Culver as Steve Adams, a rancher who rode as the Comanche hero Straight Arrow. The Nabisco Shredded Wheat sponsorship and its card premiums made the show a fixture of postwar children's radio. These recordings stream from the Internet Archive.
