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!

Like many people of my generation, I grew up watching Hogan's Heroes in reruns. Also like many people of my generation, I was shocked that Bob Crane, Colonel Hogan himself, met such a violent end, likely a result of his extracurricular hobby of documenting every aspect of his life on camera—any by every aspect, I mean EVERY aspect. This guy was ahead of his time when it came to documenting (consensually) the most intimate moments in his life. When his official biographer, Carol Ford, contacted me about appearing on Uncorking a Story, I jumped at the chance. Meet Carol Ford Carol has worked in the publishing industry since 1997 and is the primary author of Bob Crane: The Definitive Biography.

Rowan University Adjunct Professor and host Paul Perrello talks with authors Carol Ford and Linda Groundwater about their book about actor Bob Crane. The book is described as being the most complete book about the actor's early radio career, working on the CBS sitcom Hogan's Heroes and his untimely death in 1978 in a murder case that has never been solved.
In this episode we discuss with authors Carol Ford and Linda Groundwater about their biography on Bob Crane titled "Bob Crane: The Definitive Biography". Since his untimely death on June 29, 1978, Bob Crane's unofficial biography has become akin to a broken record. Like a skip in the acetate, his murder and the scandal that grew from it have been the repeated focus of attention, to the exclusion of nearly everything else. Over time, the line between fact and fiction blurred, and his life story became distorted. All perspective on Bob Crane as a human being was lost, and he became nothing more than a two-dimensional cartoon character without depth, understanding, or definition. Doug Hess is the host!
