Superman Vs. the Ku Klux Klan

Here’s a link to two episodes of the Superman radio show from the 1940’s - I think it’s episodes 12 and 13 of 16. Can’t remember exactly but it’s at the start. The stories and setup are rather ‘primative’ I suppose but even so they are interesting to listen to as an example of older styles of entertainment.

The episodes are really interesting as an insight to the times. Here’s an explanation of the facts a bit better. Appearently the episodes use actual terms from the KKK which the link I provided will hopefuly explain a bit better.

That, along with the war ads that are injected into the episodes show the way rationing were a factor of life. It’s quite interesting as a history student.

Anyway, sorry this is a bit rambly…

Enjoy.
