Frank Merriwell radio show - nostalgia about nostalgia

This radio show ran in the 1940's. It was about the famous fictional character who played sports for Yale in the early part of the century. Although the tone of the programs tends to sound like it was focused toward younger listeners, the plots actually were mysteries and were pretty good. One interesting point was the name of the quasi-romantic focus of the program, Inza Burridge. That is an unusual given name, at least in this day.
