Tarzan of the Apes, a radio show based on the popular character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, debuted on September 10, 1932. The show, which aired nightly for two years, featured 15-minute episodes, showcasing the thrilling adventures of Tarzan in the African jungles. Pre-recorded on phonograph records, this show stood out for its state-of-the-art recording technology and vivid sound effects, complementing the listener's imagination. Edgar Rice Burroughs' daughter, Joan Burroughs, played Jane, and her husband, Jim Pierce, portrayed Tarzan in this unique and entertaining adaptation of the beloved series.

Unfortunately only 77 of the nearly 300 episodes of the show still exist today.
