Aired in the 1950s, Planet Man radio show was a science fiction series produced by the Palladium Radio Productions. It told the story of Dantro, a planet man who came from an organization called the League of Planets, described as "the law enforcement body for peace and justice in the celestial world."

In the series, the headquarters for the operations of the said league was based on Planeria Rex. The League sends Dantro into the celestial world to fight or prevent any danger that may disturb the universe. Apart from the planet man Dantro, other important characters in the show were Dr. John Darrow, Engineer Slats, and Darrow's daughter Pat. All of them joined forces to fight villains like Marston, a Martian ruler who wanted to achieve interplanetary domination.

Although the episodes and their storylines were quite predictable, many listeners were still able to find the show funny and interesting. It became popular most especially in young listeners. Click here to read more about Planet Man

There is very limited information about the series, only that it was produced and syndicated (apparently) by Palladium Productions in New York. Now that I've focused in on it I'm almost certain Maurice Tarplin of Mysterious Traveler fame, plays the evil villian, "Marsden," but no one I've found has credited him. Maybe that's because not many have actually listened to an episode.! It is readily available in the Old Time Radio Researchers library. I seem to remember collector, Thomas Salome was one of the people who brought this series into wide circulation 30-40 years ago.

remember first listening to Planet Man a few years ago on one of the internet OTR stations. I thought to myself, "Somebody greenlighted THIS?" I eventually got used to the style of the show and now kind of like it, but It takes time getting used to.
