Planet Man is an engaging science fiction series centered around the story of Dantro, a troubleshooting hero who works for the League of Planets organization. Tasked with maintaining peace and justice in the celestial world, Dantro ventures across the solar system, from Mercury to Pluto, to fight for fair play and thwart danger. With its campy and predictable plotlines, the show is a lighthearted and entertaining listen for audiences of all ages, making it an enjoyable option for laughs with friends or bedtime stories for younger listeners.

Originally broadcast in the 1950s, Planet Man was transcribed and syndicated by Palladium Radio Productions. Dantro, the main protagonist, hails from Planteria Rex, the capital of all planets. Notable adversaries faced by Dantro include the power-hungry ruler of Mars, Marston. On his interstellar adventures, Dantro is accompanied by a loyal team of sidekicks such as Dr. John Darrow, his daughter Pat, nephew and niece Billy and Jane, and his engineer Slats. As a testament to the 1950s space-obsession era, Planet Man offers a nostalgic and entertaining experience for both children and adults.
