After a long career in Radio and Television,
the Grandpa Shine Stories represent a
dream come true for Tom, who originally
created these stories for his grand children.
Writing the stories… then letting the voice talents of
Nancy Roberts And Art Benshadel
bring them to life is both
fun and very rewarding.
In his cozy Upstate New York audio studio,
Tom individually records each story.
It’s a labor of love… especially when he hears
the wonderful feedback from folks
all over the country with requests
for the next Grandpa Shine story.
When you call Art on the phone
you’re never sure who will answer.
Could be: Arnold Schwarzenegger
Rodney Dangerfield…Clint Eastwood…
or any one of the over 200
voices this master impersonator can mimic.
Art’s many Voices give life to
the characters in our stories.
As a talented Illustrator, Artist and Cartoonist,
Art created the animal radio character
illustrations for the Coloring book and album cover.
Nancy makes her home in
Syracuse, New York. Writer, Actress
and On-Camera Host of several
Syracuse Television programs…
Her voice is heard on
numerous TV and Radio commercials.
Nancy also enjoys narrating
stories on audio tapes and CDs.
With a long list of credits,
she brings a compelling variety
of voices and accents to
the Grandpa Shine Stories.
