Tarzan
The Coward
by
Tarzan brings Edgar Rice Burroughs’s jungle hero to radio, following the adventures of Tarzan, the human raised in the African wilderness, and Jane as they face dangers in the jungle and beyond. The stories draw on the contrast between Tarzan’s deep knowledge of the natural world and the challenges posed by people, animals, and unfamiliar situations.
Presented as a dramatic radio adventure, the program uses dialogue, narration, and sound effects to evoke the jungle setting and carry the action. Its stories combine suspense and physical peril with encounters that test courage, loyalty, and resourcefulness.
The appeal lies in the vivid adventure atmosphere and in Tarzan’s distinctive place between wilderness and civilization. Listeners can expect a straightforward, action-oriented tale shaped for the imagination, with the sounds and performances bringing the jungle world to life.
