Well, they are available on you tube, so make of that what you will. We don't host them on site.

As it happens, there was an Australian created Superman radio series as well, and it was excellent, but my understanding is that most Australian-produced radio serials are lost. And there were quite a few.
For the Aussies out there who remember back that far, the Actor who voiced Superman was Leonard Teale, who went on to play a detective on 'Homicide' on Television. 

Leonard George Teale (1922–1994)

Quote
  Between 1949 and 1954 he enjoyed success in Superman on radio 2GB, appearing in all 1,040 fifteen-minute episodes. Children throughout Australia followed every episode as he played Superman and Clark Kent for ‘thirty shillings per episode’   


Interview with Leonard Teale [Whole interview is about Superman] [1043 episodes(?)]

enjoy!

I read the legal disclaimer on the Old Time Radio Researchers website (https://otrrlibrary.org/copyright.html).  Apparently US copyright law completely missed the golden age of radio, it's biggest 20th century legislation being in the 1910s and 1970s and covered music, film, books, but not broadcast audio.  So radio broadcasts are free game--even their scripts unless they were later published.

We don't seem to have The Avengers radio show - although I could have missed it.  This is the South African radio (Springbok Radio) version, adapting tv episodes.  You can listen and download here:-

While I'm on, PC 49 was adapted for radio written by the comic strip author, Alan Stranks and with Brian Reece starring. Poor quality, but entertaining stories:-

Also, Dixon of dock Green,  radio is on you tube with,1st series, David Tennant as PC Crawford:-
