Superman comes to The Sound of Sunday!

One thing we used to do on the show many years ago was radio drama.  I’ve always liked listening to audio drama and it’sgreat to have the opportunity to bring it back to Sunday afternoons.  It’s been a regular feature of many shows on HRB over the years. 

We’ve chosen the original 1940s episodes of Superman – in fact we have broadcast one of them before, but now we have all five episodes from the series, first heard in February 1940.

It’s a very different Superman to the one most of us know from the recent films and TV series, more like the TV series of the 1950s and 1960s when the character and show was very much older in style.  But the story is still good and considering the series was made in the 1940s, the whole thing sounds very good.  The series will be on the show for the next month and also on my new Friday afternoon programme The Friday Feeling which starts this week,
