The Grantland Rice Story is a radio dramatization inspired by the life and work of sportswriter Grantland Rice. The title’s reference to Knute Rockne points toward the world of college football and the people whose achievements Rice chronicled.
The program presents sports history through dramatic storytelling rather than a straightforward reading. Its subject offers a glimpse of the personalities and events that helped make American sports part of popular culture, with the human stories behind athletic fame at the center.
Listeners can expect a period radio treatment of sports figures and their legacies, shaped for an audience interested in both the drama of competition and the lives surrounding it.
