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.

I’ve really been enjoying Superman. It’s amazing to listen to the variety of social issues addressed, as well as the future looking technology. It done in a fun and adventurous way - taking the listener around the world and out of this world while doing so. As always, Adam is a thoughtful host that provides insight into the programs and educates us on things long forgotten like the bathysphere! It’s been a fun listen.

I have been listening to many of the old radio shows from a different website but you have put these episodes in an easy to access package. Also your commentary is fun too. Thanks.

Adam Graham is doing a great service to Superman fandom and old radio junkies alike. Playing these episodes has given me a great gift. Superman is my favorite comics character of all time and being able to listen to these old programs like my dad used to is a treat. Bud Collier as Superman/Clark Kent was the voice of a whole generation, two if you count the Filmation cartoons of the sixties. These shows are exciting but also corny in a good way. There fun for all but if you're a Superman fan you owe it to yourself to give these a listen. Thank you Adam. Marc Lax

I really enjoy the Old Time Radio, Superman is the first one I have gotten into as an adult. I grew up listening to The Shadow, Dragnet and some others they used to have on our local radio station (about 15 or 20 years ago). Adam does a fantastic job commenating, I love the insight he brings and usually spots all the little things and inconcistencies I note, and its wonderful validation I am not the only one who finds them. I am only on episode 290, and I binge listen them at work while driving my semi-truck. I think I will have to check out his other broadcasts. From Seattle Washington, this is your listener, signing off... :)

I really expected the radio shows. However, to get to the shows you have to sit through random talking by someone who hardly identifies himself and has a tendency to ramble on. His talking seems to go longer than the shows themselves. On top of that, as the episodes themselves play (finally), the guy is doing something else on his computer and their is a sound from his computer that plays again and again, even covering up some of the important parts of the stories. Like he said, these are in the public domain so there are better ways to get these files without the extra stuff and the computer sounds. Two stars since you do eventually get to the shows.
