The Life of Bob Crane from Hogan's Heroes with Carol Ford & Linda Groundwater

Send us a text


The two official biographers of Bob Crane and authors of the
book: “Bob Crane: the Definitive Biography” join the show to talk
about Bob. 


We begin the show learning about Bob’s personality, who had
careers in radio & entertainment. His start into radio was
not easy as he sent many letters to stations but finally got a
job at WLEA in Hornell, NY doing__________! His radio career
evolved to having his own setup in LA where he became a celebrity
interview on a wild, fun, unrehearsed show as some have said he
is the first shock jock. 


He starred in Hogan’s Heroes but how did he land this role and
what did he think about it? 


His death remains unsolved as he was murdered while sleeping. Bob
was one that documented every aspect of his life from going to
the dentist to consensual sex with many women who consented to
being on camera in amateur pornography. Who was the
suspect?  Who could have wanted him dead? How brutal was the
murder? Plus, so much more!
