130 - Was A Kennedy Ever Eaten By A Shark?

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0000

This week Craig’s TV watching habits opened the floodgates to a bigger question. There’s a new CNN docu-series about the tragic death of JFK Jr. called “American Prince” and while watching it, Craig somehow got the notion in his head that at some point in history and of all the tragic deaths surrounding The Kennedy family one of them happened to be eaten by a shark. The JFK Jr. story has been on Craig’s mind himself, not just because the show he’s watching but he too has a pilot’s license and is an avid fan of aviation.

129 - Vampire Penguins

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0000

Craig is fresh off his recent promotional tour for his show SCRABBLE and he reflects on some interviews he did on podcasts. But things very quickly turn to the topic of vampires? Why? Because sometimes they need to be discussed. But that doesn't prevent some tweets and emails being answered. There's still plenty of time for both.

127 - Chatty McChatterson Chats About Everything

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0000

This week Craig reveals the reason he’s been on the road so much for the last few months. That’s because news this week broke that his new CNN TV show, American on Purpose will be premiering shortly on the network. It’s based on the NY Times Bestselling book of the same name that Craig wrote a few years back when he first became a citizen of the United States. It’s the 250th anniversary of the United States and the goal of the show is to celebrate the United States. Being proud of our great country while at the same time not taking a jingoistic approach about it. Working with the folks at CNN that worked with the late, great Anthony Bourdain.

It's A Long Way To The Top If You Want To Rock And Roll

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 08:00:00 -0000

It's the new year and we have the first episode of the Joy Podcast of the new year. And what better way to kick off 2026 with Craig checking in with you all? But first some light housekeeping and a quick addressing of a unintentionally controversial take about bagpipes from last week's episode and possibly following it up with another unpopular opinion about more music. Heck, even Emily In Paris is unsafe.

Tim Sullivan - longtime friend of Craig and author of DS George Cross books

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Tim Sullivan and Craig have known each other for more than 30 years. That means they were both running wild doing stupid things. Then they both got older Tim worked in TV and movies (Alfresco, Sherlock Holmes, Flushed Away, Shrek 4) as Craig went to the US to star in TV and host a late night talk show.

When the world shut down in 2020, Tim found a new passion, writing detective novels. Specifically a series of detective novels featuring the title character George Cross. The books, 8 in total, were first self-published but have since been picked up and published in various different languages. On October 21st his new book, The Dentist will be published by Grove Atlantic. You can order it here. Craig sits down with his old friend and reminisces of their time growing up, tell some incredible stories about their friendship and how Tim found a new secondary career later in life.
