The Real Radioman follows Hollywood’s most famous extra, Craig Castaldo—known everywhere as Radioman—as he takes audiences behind the scenes of movie and television sets, through New York City’s most iconic locations, and into unforgettable conversations with the celebrity friends he’s made across more than 200 film and TV appearances.

With his signature boombox around his neck and an open invitation to sets across the city, Radioman offers a perspective on Hollywood that no one else can: the view from the background, where the real stories live. Each episode drops viewers into Radioman’s world as he navigates NYC like only a true original can—wandering from legendary comic book stores to active film shoots, red carpets, street corners, and spontaneous reunions with A-list actors who know him by name.

Alongside his friend Vinny, who helps him manage the practicalities of daily life, Radioman moves through the city with humor, honesty, and unpredictability. Whether he’s sharing behind-the-scenes stories from iconic productions, attempting to level up his acting career, or simply holding court on the sidewalk with passersby, Radioman reminds us that you don’t have to be the star of the movie to become a legend in it.

Blending long-form episodes (10–15 minutes) with short, viral-ready moments, the series captures the heart, chaos, and charm of a man who turned a life on the margins into a place at the center of Hollywood culture.

At its core, The Real Radioman is a love letter to New York City, to filmmaking, and to the unlikely friendships that happen when you show up every day for decades—radio in hand, stories ready, and no script required.
