Bring 'Em Back Alive (1932)

Frank Buck's animal-collecting expeditions, dramatised in 1932

Frank Buck brought live animals out of Malaya for American zoos and turned it into a book, a film and this short-lived 1932 radio series. The surviving episodes are ordinary commercial adventure radio of their moment, which is precisely their value: this is what a season sounded like when the industry was five years old.
