Flash Gordon is a radio show about a space adventure comic strip created by Alex Raymond. The show follows the exciting interplanetary adventures of Flash Gordon, a handsome polo player and Yale University graduate, alongside his companions Dale Arden and Dr. Hans Zarkov. The action-packed story begins with Earth being threatened by a collision with the planet Mongo. Dr. Zarkov invents a rocket ship to fly into space in an attempt to stop the disaster, and along the way, they come into conflict with Ming the Merciless, Mongo's evil ruler. The radio show captivated audiences with its thrilling adventures, suspenseful narrative, and high-flying fun that resonated with both kids and adults alike.

The Flash Gordon radio show was first broadcast in California in 1935 and was aired on the West Coast. Gale Gordon, a prolific actor whose career spans decades, portrayed the lead character, Flash. Unfortunately, not much information is available about the actors who played Dale and Ming, but these roles were filled by the talented actors Bruno Wick and an unknown actress, respectively. The Flash franchise inspired many other creative projects such as comic strips, a Republic Serial series of adventures, and even television adaptations. Fans of the radio show could follow their favorite characters in related comic pages and other old-time radio programs like Jungle Jim, Tarzan, Speed Gibson, Terry and the Pirates, and Air Adventures of Jimmy Allen.
