It was an absolute joy to hear this, the very beginning of what was to be a world-famous, highly lucrative franchise. It’s not often we get to hear the origins of a legend, but that’s what it is, for sure. While I was listening, I thought about how new radio was at the time Flash Gordon appeared: just about 10 to 15 years old, it was. That’s like some major, groundbreaking technology having emerged in 2015 or so! Things that sound cliche to us were brand new to listeners then. This is like opening a time capsule and seeing what’s inside. Thanks for starting off with this new series!
