EDIT 3: Ok, so my dad's on board. His response regarding stories from behind scenes, production, writing, creative differences, credits, Forensic Files 2, etc: "OMG I have tons. Tons." Feel free to keep posting questions here so he can refresh his memory and draft answers ahead of time. Grumps taught us to always practice and be prepared. A typical same day AMA cram session isn't his style, although he'll probably get around answering every question eventually.
It might be a week or two before we get around to the actual AMA. There's no need to keep it strictly to Forensic Files questions if the mods are ok with that. Thanks to everyone for all of the kind words about my grandpa. He loved his job like nobody I've ever known. Despite his ability to describe gruesome murders and violent deaths, his proudest V/O was being the instructional voice on the Philips SmartStart AED Defibrillator. If your life is flashing before your eyes, you just might be saved by clear instructions from years of Grumps practicing "liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry" at the dinner table.

"Grumps" may be dead, but his voice lives on. It's nice to see he's still loved by his fans. Nothing would have made him happier. My dad remembers so much about the original Medical Detectives run, the the FF transition, some Paul Dowling drama, script preparation and evening rehearsals with Granny, and more. Grumps was a goofy, playful, mischievous character with a heart of gold. Don't let the voice fool you. Let me know if you're interested.
Edit: Some funny proof. One of my favorite photos of him bringing "Granny water" (Smirnoff) and Häagen-Dazs to his sweetheart in the middle of the night when she was under the weather. Note the FF vest. https://imgur.com/a/1byBoWF
Edit 2: Two more pics that are a little more flattering. Sorry for the potato quality. These are from 2009 taken on Blackberrys. https://imgur.com/wqPUxFB He was a wicked tennis player into his 80s and always dressed as if he was stepping onto Center Court at Wimbledon. Club champion in his age bracket multiple years over a few decades. That's my sister and me on the left and two more of his 7 total grandchildren.

... keep reading on reddit ➡Just curious. I love both their voices. Peter Thomas narrated Forensic Files. Bill Kurtis narrated most American Justice and Cold Case Files episodes.
The way he narrates with emotion. How he speaks.
I’m trying to record every moment of him naming forensic stuff.
I started a sub for that.

OK maybe an odd question but Peter Thomas from Forensic Files has perhaps one of my favourite, soothing voices that truly help me sleep. His voice improves the experience by tenfold.
I was wondering if anyone knows some other podcasts with similar narrators, really interested in anything related to true crime, history, supernatural/horror.
Thank you!
Or is it just me?
Love how he does that surprised, inquisitive tone of voice when he’s naming suspects or odd things.
