The Big Broadcast is a Sunday night tradition for families throughout the WAMU listening area. Each week, Big Broadcast host Ed Walker offers listeners priceless recordings of popular radio programs from the '30s, '40s and '50s. Priceless, especially, for a man whose first sentence as a child was, 'Turn the radio on.'

Happy Sunday Night...Classic Radio Time...

I think I have an old cassette tape of two “Frank Merriwell” shows, but I don’t remember much about them. There was a Merriwell movie serial back in the 1930s, from Universal. Seemed to be a sort of ‘collegiate/sports-oriented’ hero, who got into various scrapes. Always assumed the character came from line of vintage juvenile books, akin to “Bomba the Jungle Boy” and such. But I never really knew for sure.
