A proposito di questo titolo
 The Jim Craine Show promises to be a lively mix of show-business stories, quick-witted comedy, classic entertainment, and candid conversations with the people who helped create unforgettable moments in music, film, television, and popular culture. With guests such as Dina Martin and Bill Marks, Jim will likely take listeners beyond the spotlight—into backstage memories, surprising career turns, famous friendships, and the wonderfully unpredictable realities of life in entertainment. Expect plenty of laughter, a little nostalgia, spontaneous musical moments, and the kind of relaxed conversation where legendary guests feel comfortable sharing stories they may not tell anywhere else.Copyright 2026 Jim Craine Arte Intrattenimento e arti dello spettacolo Musica

    The Jim Craine Show Master Sand Sculptor John Gowdy, Atlantic City Lifeguard Tales, and Elke Sommer Memories with John Gowdy Jim Craine broadcasts from Pleasantville Music, reminiscing about lifeguard summers at The Claridge and late actress Elke Sommer before welcoming former firefighter and champion sand sculptor John Gowdy to discuss his documentary Sandman. Banjo Bob and Local South Jersey Sponsors Jim Craine welcomes listeners to a Saturday broadcast live from Pleasantville Music in Pleasantville, New Jersey. He sends birthday wishes to centenarian Rose Bacella, greets first-time listener Mike Reynolds, and pays tribute to his late friend, actress Elke Sommer. Welcoming November, Craine turns the microphone over to his autumnal alter ego, Banjo Bob. Accompanied by upbeat banjo strumming, Banjo Bob promises listeners that none of the show's South Jersey sponsors will ever deliver a turkey of a deal. He highlights Pleasantville Music on the Black Horse Pike for instruments and vinyl records before praising Joe Italiano's Maplewood Inns in Hammonton, Vineland, and Mays Landing for delicious Italian fare like chicken parmesan and veal scallopini. Banjo Bob plugs Copiers Plus in Egg Harbor Township for printing and vehicle wraps, as well as the historic Dr. Jonathan Pitney House in Absecon and The Colonial Inn in historic Smithville, before wishing a heavenly birthday to western singing star Roy Rogers. Craine's Picks, Comedy Shows, and Toys for Tots Plans Returning to the broadcast as himself, Craine jokes about the fickle autumn weather and recalls a humorous broadcast maxim from his early radio mentor, Bob Weems. He shares regional happenings during Craine's Picks, recommending Italian comedian Tammy Pescatelli's upcoming stand-up show at the Eagle Theatre in Hammonton alongside local magician Joe Holiday. Craine also plugs a designer bag bingo afternoon supporting Our Lady Star of the Sea School in Atlantic City. Looking ahead to the holiday season, he announces that the annual Toys for Tots benefit concert will broadcast live from Pleasantville Music on December 5th. He notes that store CD sales help generate charitable donations for the Marine Mammal Stranding Center. Atlantic City's raspy Godfather character then arrives over his signature film theme to promote catering from Joe Italiano's Maplewood Inns, urging listeners to patronize local brick-and-mortar storefronts rather than corporate big-box retailers during the upcoming holiday shopping rush. Claridge Casino Lifeguard Memories and Jack Benny Back live in the studio, Craine reminisces about his eleven years working as an Atlantic City lifeguard at Indiana Avenue right in front of The Claridge. He remembers interviewing Elke Sommer for Philadelphia's Channel 6 while she starred in Woman of the Year at the hotel's showroom. Craine recalls other notable entertainers gracing the local casino stage during that vibrant era, including Georgia Engel, Tim Conway, and Joe Namath. Reflecting on Sommer's comedic charm, he shares an amusing television anecdote where legendary comedian Jack Benny introduced her to the public. When Sommer modestly suggested that speaking five languages was far more significant than physical glamour, Benny famously deadpanned that Georgie Jessel spoke eight languages without anyone whistling at him. Craine also reflects on his father's role as a local department store Santa Claus, whose dazzling neighborhood holiday light displays famously blew out an electrical transformer during freezing rain. Hal Marzell Calls and Sand Sculptor John Gowdy Joins Craine opens the phone lines and receives a call from his longtime Inlet childhood friend, Hal Marzell, checking in from California. The two classmates joke about vintage Atlantic City memories, their shared passion for the Beatles, and baseball loyalties between the Phillies and Dodgers before Craine previews an upcoming international sand sculpting competition planned near Boardwalk Hall. Craine then transitions to welcome master sand sculptor and former Atlantic City firefighter John Gowdy. Gowdy notes he began crafting elaborate beach creations forty years ago while digging casual sandcastles with his children during family outings. Craine celebrates the deep local roots of the Gowdy family, recalling John's father Hank and his brothers working as local civil servants and lifeguards. Gowdy discusses his international career and his hopes to bring the World Cup of Sand Sculpting back to Atlantic City under protective pavilion spaces facing Pinky's Stage on the boardwalk. Whale Tributes, Competition Travels, and the Papal Castle The discussion turns to Gowdy's celebrated forty-foot whale sand sculpture in Ventnor, which he constructed with municipal assistance to raise awareness after ocean testing disrupted coastal marine mammals. Gowdy describes the demanding nature of professional master sculpting competitions, noting he is packing his gear for upcoming championship events...

    The Jim Craine Show Mischief Night Memories, Halloween Events, and Atlantic City Horse Farm Stories with Les Saltzman Jim Craine broadcasts a Mischief Night edition from the Pleasantville Music Shop, swapping Halloween memories with caller Hal Marzolf before welcoming Ballyrose horse farm owner Les Saltzman, an old Atlantic City friend, for stories of growing up on St. Charles Place and remembering Steel Pier emcee Gene Hart's late wife, Sarah. A Mischief Night Saturday at Pleasantville Music Jim Craine opens the broadcast live from the Pleasantville Music Shop on the Black Horse Pike in Pleasantville, New Jersey, calling it the Mischief Night edition of the show. He plays "Clementine," a track from his brand-new album that premiered on YouTube earlier in the week, and invites listeners to search his name to hear the full record. Craine promises stories about Mischief Night, a tradition he says has mostly faded, and gives out the call-in number so listeners can share their own Halloween memories. He mentions his guest for the day, Les Saltzman, who will join at the bottom of the hour to talk horses and his connection to getting Craine his start at BBS Radio. Craine also notes the sunny, pleasant weather along the coast, joking about a sudden thunderclap sound effect, and warns listeners about possible coastal flooding before sending the show to its first sponsor segment. Dr. Boris Reads The Sponsor List Jim Craine hands the microphone to his recurring Dracula-styled character, Dr. Boris, who runs through the show's sponsor list in his spooky October voice. Dr. Boris plugs the Pleasantville Music Shop's All Treats, No Tricks sale, where visitors get a free lollipop, and credits Copiers Plus in Egg Harbor Township and owner Bobby Matthews for their printing and business services. He praises The Maplewood Inns' three locations in Hammonton, Vineland, and Mays Landing as serving the finest Italian food around, then highlights two South Jersey bed and breakfasts, the Dr. Jonathan Pitney House in Absecon, which he suggests may be haunted, and The Colonial Inn in Smithville. Dr. Boris closes by urging listeners to sponsor the show themselves and reminding everyone that next Saturday is Halloween. Craine returns as himself, joking that he stretched the bit out, reads off the call-in number again, and previews his guest Les Saltzman along with a request for listeners' favorite Halloween costumes and candy. Craine's Picks And A Call From Hal Jim Craine runs through his weekly Craine's Picks, pointing listeners to area Halloween events. He plugs the Funny Farm in Mays Landing, run by Laurie, for haunted hayrides and hand-feeding rescued animals, Storybook Land on the Black Horse Pike for its family Halloween activities, and the Smithville Inn's Smithville Witches afternoon. A longtime high school friend, Hal Marzolf, calls in from California, and the two swap memories of favorite costumes, Hal recalling a store-bought Superman outfit and Craine his own Touché Turtle costume. Craine then tells a Mischief Night story about driving his yellow 1968 Pontiac Firebird with the top down up Pacific Avenue with friend Johnny Rothman, racing near 100 miles an hour before a police officer he knew, Johnny Bacharach, pulled them over and let them go with a wink for the occasion. Craine reflects that the old Mischief Night traditions of egging, soaping windows, and toilet-papering houses were harmless fun that rarely happens anymore, thanks Hal for calling, and sends the show to the next sponsor break. The Godfather Pitches Maplewood Inns Craine turns the microphone over to The Godfather, his Marlon Brando-voiced character, who pitches The Maplewood Inns' holiday catering deals across Hammonton, Vineland, and Mays Landing, crediting Jimmy Italiano with carrying on his father's restaurant legacy and wishing him and his wife a happy anniversary. Back as himself, Craine fills time waiting for Les Saltzman's call by reminiscing further about Mischief Night, recalling a police officer named Johnny Bacharach near Albany Avenue, and talking about moving to Smithville after marrying his wife, Joanne, an artist who works alongside him at the Pleasantville Music Shop, where the couple has now been married 35 years. He describes childhood Halloweens at his old house on Lighthouse Lane near the inlet, where he and his father wired a gutted television with a hidden CB radio and microphone so Craine could startle trick-or-treaters at the gate by demanding, "What do you want?" before finally introducing his guest, Les Saltzman. Les Saltzman Talks Ballyrose And Gene Hart Les Saltzman, owner and operator of the Ballyrose horse farm in Florida and an old friend who helped Craine land his spot on BBS Radio, joins the show by phone. The two recall a local newspaper columnist named Sonny, who Saltzman says always had an eye for new local talent, and Saltzman updates listeners on Ballyrose, where the family keeps six horses on the property while ...
