If you never heard the name you should check out some of his work. It was really groundbreaking stuff in its time -- and you know what, it still is. It was storytelling, but not the way the idiot podcasters (a group in which I include myself) tell stories. Frank spun hypnotic tales, ya dig, and if you were on that wavelength they were things of beauty.
There are a very small number of people who can say they created things of beauty, and Joe probably wouldn't have said it about himself, but it was true.
I wish there was a comprehensive archive of all of his shows, but there isn't. There's a lot of stuff on YouTube, and there's this.
In this show Ira Glass from This American Life talks about being a production assistant for Joe (skip to 27:20 - Ira shows up at 37:45).
