New On Krypton Radio: THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN

You Will Believe A Man Can Sound Like He’s Flying

The classic radio serial, The Adventures of Superman, is coming to Krypton 
Radio 4PM Pacific/7 Eastern, Monday April 1, 2013!  Starring the immortal Bud 
Collier as Superman, this groundbreaking radio drama originally aired from 1940 
to 1951, beginning on New York’s WOR as a syndicated program.

Listen each day for a new episode! We have enough of them that you can listen 
every day for more than three years and never hear the same episode twice.  
We’re also going to be running it at 2AM Pacific / 5AM Eastern, so that if 
you’re in Europe you have a chance of hearing during your broadcast day!

“The Adventures Os Superman” radio show introduced many of the essential 
elements of the Superman mythos.  For example, the newspaper where Clark Kent 
was employed changed from “The Daily Star” to the familiar “Daily Planet”, and 
the paper’s editor from “George Taylor” to “Perry White” (Great Ceasar’s 
Ghost!).  The show is also responsible for introducing Superman’s famous 
weakness, Kryptonite.  The character of Jimmy Olsen was developed largely in 
this series, setting a platform of interaction between Clark, Lois, and Jimmy, 
which was to become a staple in both the comics and all future Superman media 
adaptions.

Clayton “Bud” Collyer provided the voice for Superman and Clark Kent.  Collyer 
was the first actor to portray Superman, and was certainly one of the best.  
Noted for his distinct ability to display a clear difference between Clark Kent 
and Superman, Collyer went on to voice Superman in the Fleischer animated 
serials in the 1940?s, and in the Filmation Superman cartoons of the 1960?s.

If you’re new to this radio series, you’ll be amazed at how much fun it is to 
listen and how engaging it is – and if you’re familiar with it, you’re certain 
to hear episodes you’ve never heard before.  It’s the perfect show for every 
serious fan of the Man of Steel.

There aren’t many science fiction radio stations in the world (nearly all are 
podcasts, not radio stations, or specialize on one television show or movie 
series), and we’re doing our best to be the best.  We think that as fans of 
Krypton Radio, you deserve our best effort.

Keep listening to Krypton Radio.  And watch the skies.
