[old time children's radio show podcast: 15]

I love Superman and think this old radio program is fun. You get to hear why Superman came Earth as a baby.

You may find it a little scary since Superman's home planet, Krypton, is destroyed, but remember it's only make believe… but just in case, you may want to listen to this with your mommy or daddy or teacher or some other big person… just so you can protect them.

Have fun,

excerpt
Announcer	Boys and girls your attention please, presenting a new and exciting radio program. Featuring the thrilling adventures of an amazing and incredible personality. Faster than an airplane.
	swooshing noise is starting to come in, gradually growing louder
Announcer	More powerful than a locomotive, impervious to bullets.
Man #1	Up in the sky look
Man #2	It's a bird
Man #3	It's a plane
Man #4	It's Superman
	very loud swooshing
Announcer	And now Superman, a being no larger than an ordinary man, but possessed of powers and abilities never before realized on Earth. Able to leap into the air an eighth of a mile in a single bound. Hurdle a twenty story building with ease. Race a high powered bullet to its target. Lift tremendous wights and rend solid steel in his bare hands, as though it were paper. Superman…a strange visitor from a distant planet. Champion of the oppressed. Physical marvel extraordinary, who has sworn to devote his existence on Earth to helping those in need. As our story begins we ask you to come a far journey. A journey that takes us millions of miles from the Earth. Where the planet Krypton burns like a green star in the heavens. Here civilization is far advanced. It has brought forth a race of super men. Men and women like ourselves, but advanced to the absolute peak of human perfection.
	a hissing sound begins to be audible
Announcer	As we near Krypton we see high walls and gleaming terrifs. We approach the magnificent Temple of Wisdom, and there in a great hall, Jor-L, Krypton's foremost man of science is about to address a meeting of the planet's governing council.
Jor-L	Members of the council…I have completed my solar calculations and much as I dread uttering these words, I have come to the conclusion that Krypton is doomed.

   Oh my goodness, that was scary. Those people are really stupid not to listen to their scientists. They all died because they didn't listen to their scientists.

   When I grow up I want to be a scientist and people better listen to me! Because I will know everything.

   I like Supergirl.
