Buck Rogers in the 25th Century was a science fiction radio serial and aviation radio series that captured the excitement of the popular novel and comics series Buck Rogers. The show followed the adventures of Buck Rogers, a man from the present day who got trapped in a cave-in and was subjected to a mysterious gas that held him in suspended animation until he was discovered in the 25th century. Resuscitated by the good inventor and scientist Dr. Huer, Buck learns about the incredible technology and ways of life in the future, and sets off on thrilling adventures with Lieutenant Wilma Deering, Dr. Huer's assistant, battling evil forces such as Killer Kane and Ardala Valmar. Dedicated to showcasing the ongoing struggle of good versus evil, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century was a forerunner to many juvenile adventure serials that followed.

The show initially ran from November 7, 1932, to May 22, 1936, on CBS Radio, and returned several times throughout the following years on Mutual Broadcasting System, finally concluding on March 28, 1947. In total, the show aired an estimated 860 episodes, with some episodes available for listening today. Directed by Carlo De Angelo and Jack Johnstone, the show featured varying actors in its starring roles, including Matt Crowley, Curtis Arnall, Carl Frank, and John Larkin as Buck Rogers, as well as Adele Ronson and Edgar Stehli as Wilma Deering and Dr. Huer, respectively. The show was sponsored by well-known brands like Kellogg's, Cocomalt, Cream of Wheat, Popsicles, Fudgsicles, and Creamsicles. Buck Rogers in the 25th Century was not only one of the first science fiction radio shows but also laid a foundation for future serials, such as Tarzan and The Air Adventures of Jimmy Allen.
