Dee Spills the Tea:

John Larkin (Jay Fenton) played the role of Perry Mason on the radio. The show was broadcast ON cbs radio, Monday through Friday in a 15-minute time slot, Larkin played Perry starting in 1947 and remained with the role for eight-and-a-half years until the program's conclusion in December 1955.

You can listen to these radio shows on youtube. When I looked at the site, there was a picture of Raymond Burr not John Larkin, but Raymond Burr never played Mason on the radio.
