Play Space Patrol on Radio Days

Space Patrol followed Commander Buzz Corry (Ed Kemmer) and Cadet Happy (Lyn Osborn) of the United Planets Space Patrol in the 30th century. Mike Moser created it, and the same cast did the radio and television versions on ABC; the radio show ended March 19, 1955. Ralston cereals sponsored it, with mail-order premiums that kids sent away for. Freed from studio sets, the radio stories ranged wider than the TV ones.
