Buck Rogers in the 25th Century

WEBO Interview

English · Science Fiction, Radio

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century brings the classic science-fiction hero to radio, following Buck Rogers and his companions through adventures in a futuristic world. The series draws on the character’s long-running pulp and comic-strip tradition of daring exploits, advanced technology, and conflicts that put courage and ingenuity to the test.

Radio turns those adventures into an audio drama, using dialogue, narration, and sound effects to suggest a world far beyond everyday life. The title identifies this recording as a WEBO interview, offering a different kind of listening experience from a typical adventure episode.

Its appeal lies in the contrast between familiar human stakes and an imaginative future setting. Listeners can enjoy the brisk, theatrical style of vintage science fiction and the chance to hear a radio-era conversation connected with one of the genre’s best-known spacefaring heroes.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
