Faster than a speeding bullet.

More powerful than a locomotive.

Able to leave tall buildings in a single round.

Look! Look for the sky!

It's the bird! It's a pig! It's Superman!

Yes, it's Superman, strange visitors from another world who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.

Superman, who can change the course of mighty rivers, then steel in his bare hands,

and who disguised as Bart Kent, wild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper,

strikes a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way. What is up everybody?

Welcome back to the Superman Radio podcast.

Your host here, Dakota.

And today we get into the very first episode of the Superman radio show.

So pretty exciting.

This is really going to kick off a nice, long run of the show here that went to about 1,200 or so episodes.

So we've got a lot of territory to cover.

I'm going to save most of my comments until after the show, after the play today.

So let's go ahead and get into it.

This is The Baby from Krypton.

And it aired February 12th, 1940.

Enjoy.

Boys and girls, your attention, please.

Presenting a new exciting radio program
