The Clyde Beatty Show

Oklahoma Hoax

English · Dramatic Readings, Action & Adventure

The Clyde Beatty Show brings the excitement of the circus to radio, with famed animal trainer Clyde Beatty at the center of the action. The series draws on Beatty’s public image as a daring big-cat trainer, placing listeners amid the spectacle and danger associated with the circus ring.

Radio turns that world into an adventure for the imagination, using dialogue, narration, and sound to evoke dramatic situations. The title “Oklahoma Hoax” suggests a story built around a deception, though the appeal lies in the broader mix of suspense and circus atmosphere rather than any one detail.

With its blend of adventure and show-business spectacle, the program offers a lively change of scene: a chance to hear the circus world rendered as dramatic radio entertainment.
