To cover while I am taking a much needed vacation, two episodes of "Clan of the Fiery Cross" from the Adventures of Superman. This will take us up through episode 12 of 16 in this series that attacks hatred and racism - tough themes for a late forties kid's show.

This week the adventure takes us to another world where earthmen land on a planet in the middle of a dispute between two societies. The problem is that the intelligent life is not humanoid, but rather vegetable and the two societies are the Carrots and the Onions!

A hilarious satire on human society by novelist Robert Nathan in his original story for the CBS Radio Workshop and called "A Pride of Carrots." You'll hear some well-known voices that you might only be familiar from cartoons of your childhood.

Also, episode 10 of the "Clan of the Fiery Cross" from the Adventures of Superman.

This podcast marks our one year anniversary of one show each week!  The final look at big budget radio series with our look at one of the biggest. Lux Radio Theatre was on the air for twenty years and Lever Brothers spared no expense in producing the show. This episode is "Algiers" with Charles Boyer and Heddy Lamar.

Episode 9 of the "Clan of the Fiery Cross"

A rather long podcast this week as I look at big budget radio programs. The Ford Theater was Ford's second big budget program from the forties. This one was ambitious and no expense was spared. The dramas cast big name talent and ran for sixty minutes with minimal commercial time.

Episode 8 of "The Clan of the Fiery Cross."

A look at the literary figure Damon Runyon and how the Damon Runyon Theatre came to radio. Runyon characters were so well drawn as to spawn the term Runyonesque. The Damon Runyon Theatre was a delightful series.

Episode seven of the "Clan of the Fiery Cross" from The Adventures of Superman.
