There it is, an echo of the past – an exciting past, a romantic past – the era of the horse and carriage, gas-lit streets and free for all football games: the era of one of the most beloved heroes of American fiction, Frank Merriwell.

Merriwell is loved as much today as ever he was and so the NBC brings him to radio in a brand new series of thirty minute stories adapted from the famous books written by Gilbert Patten under the pen name Burt L. Standish. Listen here to The Bench Warmer.
