Let George Do It & Superman

Episode Segments

Let George Do It: Laura\'s House

Bob Bailey stars as private investigator George Valentine on Let George Do It. Today\'s broadcast is from 7/25/1949.

Superman: The Secret Rocket Pt 2

While earlier Superman stories often leaned into gangsters or supernatural threats, \"The Secret Rocket\" pushed the show toward speculative technology. The show was famous for its sound design. For this storyline, the producers had to create a convincing \"rocket engine\" sound before most of the public had ever heard one. They utilized a combination of oscillators and air compressors to create a thundering, futuristic hum that sounded distinctly different from the prop-planes of the era. Today\'s Man of Steel broadcast is from 9/30/1947.
