The Adventures of Superman time stamps for @stealingyourbones for not only fic writers to get inspo & for a place to get prompts but also people please listen to this show its a fascinating piece of history and it’s so damn interesting to listen to.
In EP 205 at 4:44:
Superman calls himself a “nice juicy beefsteak” to taunt timber wolves into biting him.
Ep 205 at 11:38:
Clark doesn’t believe in ghosts.
Ep 206 around 6:00 incorrect explanation of how coal was formed
Believed to be from fallen trees crushed under glaciers during the ice age
Ep 216 at 19:28:
One of the many times Clark implies that his Superman voice is his “natural voice” and his Clark Kent voice is not
Ep 216 at 21:55
This is meant to be a Grizzly Bear.
That is not what a Grizzly Bear sounds like.
Ep 217 at 1:56 (starts at recap narration that directly segways into the bit):
Clark fights a bear.
(Has a use of the “they can’t see me because it’s dark” trope that the show loves to use.)
Ep 303 5:45:
Clark still doesn’t believe in ghosts
Adventures of Superman: ep 619 “tell the truth or we go to the moon”
(Important Note: these time stamps and episode numbers are exclusive to how the host numbered & showed them on his The Old Superman Radio Show podcast where he reuploaded The Adventures Of Superman with commentary & ads before and after each episode. I’m going off of this version because it’s easily accessible but more so because I could also easily link the specific timestamp.)
Ep 207 Clark uses a gun:
This was in my notes but I for the love of god cannot find this occurring. I specifically remember in an episode Clark shooting a gun at a tree near a bad guy as an intimidation tactic. If anyone can help me find where that happened or a moment like it that I misremembered, please let me know.
#Also if anyone starts listening to the show. PLEASE could someone keep count of how many times#1) Jimmy Olsen watches a man die in front of his eyes (my count is 13 but I made the mistake of not recording what episodes it happened in)#(or timestamps so I have no way to make sure that’s accurate)#2) How many times Jimmy Olsen gets kidnapped#3) How many times Jimmy gets held at gunpoint/his life threatened#because I’d love to have those numbers bc if you listen to the show#Jimmy is meant to be 14#hes violating multiple child labor laws by existing in the same area as a workplace#and Clark acts like a parental figure towards Jimmy and it’s super cute and I wish more people included Jimmy in their Superman fics#Jimmy’s one of Clark’s best friends and I feel like people forget that a lot and just use him as a side character#Clark has a sort of mentor-esque relationship with Jimmy where he helps Jimmy the best he can and makes sure he doesn’t get into trouble#(and vice versa on the trouble portion)#Jimmy is The First of Superman’s friends who knows about Clark’s secret identity#and I wish people acknowledged their bond more#i get the batfam fics but modern version of jimmy is like There’s Also Already A College Kid Clark Has SemiAdopted And Is Good Friends With#Explore That Relationship Please. Or the old version of Jimmy where he’s 14 in a 1940s setting and Clark very much acts like a dad to Jimmy#but also jimmy keeps getting 1) kidnapped 2) threatened at gunpoint/ to be killed 3) has watched many people die in front of him#that are generally from very traumatic wounds too#that kid needs so much therapy#bones speaks#taos#Superman#the adventures of superman
