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 manned reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper,

strikes a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way.

Well, hey everybody, welcome back to the show.

So glad that you are here joining us as we continue on this adventure through the old-time

Radio Superman show of the 1940s.

As always, if you have any comments, you can send them to O-T-R-M-S-H-at-G-M-S-H-G-Mail.

Well, today we kick off a brand new storyline here on the Superman radio program, and this one introduces Jimmy Olson.

Beginning with this storyline, we no longer have specific titles for each episode. It will simply be so-and-so part one, so-and-so part two, and so on.

So having said that, let's go ahead and get into Dinelli's Protection Racket,

part one, which aired April 15th of 1940.

Enjoy.

Presenting the transcription feature, Superman.

Up in the sky, look! It's a bird!

It's a plane! It's Superman!

And now, Superman!
