PLANET MAN This is the fascinating story of Dantro, The Planet Man , troubleshooter for the League of Planets organization, the law enforcement body for peace and justice in the celestial world -- whose headquarters and center of operations are situated on the capital of all planets, Planteria Rex. From Mercury to Pluto, where ever danger threatens the universe, you will find Dantro the Planet Man fighting for fair play. The Planet Man was a juvenile science ficton series of the 1950's transcribed and syndicated by Palladium Radio Productions. The stories are campy and predictable, but silly fun none the less. Good for a laugh or for bedtime stories for younger listeners. From the Old Time Radio Researcher's Group. See "Note" Section below for more information on the OTRR. Digitised by the Old Time Radio Researchers and streamed from the Internet Archive item “OTRR_Planet_Man_Ver2_Singles”; these recordings are in the public domain.
