The Grantland Rice Story is a serialized radio program based on Rice' s popular autobiography " The Tumult and The Shouting." The 15-minute series comprises 52 sequential installments that closely follow the text of the book, narrated by sportswriter Jimmy Powers. Powers reads and comments on Rice' s story in the first person, as Rice intended, and the material is augmented by contemporary asides and updates from Powers. The program provides a comprehensive insight into the career and experiences of one of the most important sportswriters in American history, during an era where the pen and typewriter was still a vital part of the news media.< / p > < p > First airing regionally as early as August 1955, the series received national attention on various stations and aired at varying times. Some stations broadcast it every weekday, others three days a week or weekly, making tracking the broadcasts particularly difficult given the 15-minute format. At least one contiguous run of the entire 52-installment series aired between September 1955 and September 1956, often appearing in many markets at the 15-minute mark, ' buried' behind an on-the-hour broadcast of another program.
