Listen "Why "Closure" is a Newsroom Term"
Episode Synopsis
TVC 667.5: Robert Crane, eldest son of Hogan's Heroes star Bob Crane, talks to Ed about how he learned a lot about interviewing people from talking to his stepfather, Charles Sloan; how his dad created a style of free-form radio that we can see today in the work of Howard Stern; and why Bob believes that the word "closure" is a newsroom term, borne out of the era of such entertainment programs such as Access Hollywood and Entertainment Tonight. Bob's latest book, My UnHollywood Family, is available now through Oregon Greystone Press.
