A Collection of Aussie Radio Shows No 22 Produced by George Edwards, Frankenstein was a radio series adapted from Mary Shelley’s novel The Modern Prometheus. The story was about Baron Victor Frankenstein, a genius yet mad scientist who thinks that he can create a living man from dead bodies. When the show ended in 1932, it had a total of 13 episodes.

The shape of the run
What survives, year by year
4 dated broadcasts across 95 years on the air, with 94 years where nothing is known to survive. Brightness is transfer quality; empty cells are months lost to time.
