Host Adam Graham is your guide on this journey through the Man of Steel's Golden Ageadventures in Old TIme Radio. This looks like a job for Superman.

From 1940-51, kids (and more than a few adults) thrilled to The Adventures of Superman which for most of its run featured Bud Collyer in his pioneering performance as Clark Kent and Superman.

Over the course of time, Superman changed and grew. Join him as he faces all-comers from ordinary racketeers, bigots, spies to alien dictators, and even a Kryptonite-powered Nazi. Enjoy the first appearances of Jimmy Olsen and hear Superman and Batman team up long before ever they did in comics.
