Jan Tenner is a science-fiction audio play series from the 1980s. It is set in Westland, a fictional state on Earth, in the not too distant future. Science, research and computer technology have already advanced considerably. However, the main difference from the world as we know it is that first contact has already been made with aliens. The hostile lifeforms from outer space repeatedly threaten the Earth.
Between 1980 and 1989 a total of 45 episodes were released. In November 2000 the series was brought to a close with the 46th cassette, an episode entitled “Mimo, der Rächer” (Mimo, the Avenger). Since then it has been marketed under the name Jan Tenner – Classic. Since September 2006 the classic Jan Tenner episodes have been available on CDs from KIDDINX and VGH.
