A Carpenter and a Crane

This week, Brian and Darien tell the story of a noted actor, radio personality, and man-about-town named Bob Crane.

With an easy, quintessentially American life, Bob Crane had it all — fame, fortune, a wife and kids — almost more than any normal man could want. But Crane wanted more — a lot more.

Join us as we uncover the hidden part of a man’s life — the part that would ultimately lead to his death.

We’ll get into it: from hate-fueled football games to hijinks-filled POW camps, from dirty pictures to lonely hotel rooms — we’ll cover it all.
