The Bob Rivers Show Bob Rivers

Steve Fossen, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Bassist and founding member of Heart is still touring and playing all over the country, with his soul mate Somar Macek. Heart by Heart sounds so authentic to the original recordings as they were played in the 70’s, you’ll swear you have travelled in time.



In this overdue podcast, Bob and Spike hang out with Steve and Somar. We dig into what it was like to be a RockStar playing in from of 400,000 fans, the philosophy behind the bands move to Canada, and how the song Magic Man catapulted the band to fame.



Fast forward to modern times. Steve accidentally meets the love of his life, who happens to look and sing remarkably like Ann Wilson. At first he and Somar play Heart songs as a duo, but inevitably they fall in love and get married. (Heart by Heart consists of Fossen, Macek, Heart Hall of Fame drummer Mike Derosier, multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Lizzy Daymont, and guitarist Chad Quist).



If you’ve missed the podcasts (thank you to those who reached out to say so), now that I’ve recovered from chemo, we’re back to make some more. I’m very grateful to all of you who listen.

Tom Evans Krause, Jon Kasprick and Charlie Harger join Bob to chat about creation & history of Green River College's radio station, KGRG-FM - celebrating 35 years of their 'Today's Rock' format - and the evolution of broadcasting, podcasting and the increased accessibility & tools available for students and aspiring broadcasters.



We pay tribute to one of the greatest mentors in Seattle Radio history: Jim “Kampy” Kampmann.

Bob and BJ have been best friends and Trekkies for over 20 years.



BJ is still bummed that 'The Bob Rivers Show - KZOK' beat 'BJ Shea - KISW' for "Star Trek walk-on roles for the Show Host and a Listener". Because I got to be on Star Trek. And he didn’t. I can't blame him.



But had it not gone that way, we wouldn’t be having this insightful Podcast with Amy Ulen. Author, Teacher and so much more - Amy was the bonafide trekky and the lucky listener who joined me for the walk-on roles.



Prepare for Warp Speed!



Live long and prosper 🖖

Bob and Pete were 17 and 19 years old. If you remember top 40 radio, when we were kids, you might enjoy the behind the scenes story of 2 teenage best friends breaking a few rules and helping to create a radio station that’s still a success today.



They started working together just out of high school. Bob went on to a lifelong career hosting mornings. Pete Salant launched a #1 station in New York City, and became one of the top programming consultants in the country.



Along with Ed Kelly, we reminisce, but also celebrate the talent of today. Although the business has changed dramatically, there are so many great radio shows and podcasts to choose from. It’s a good time to be a listener and fan!

You may remember our podcasts with Tami Asars, and her dramatic tales live from the Appalachian Trail as she completed the Triple Crown of backpacking. Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail, and The Appalachian Trail. Just looking up the mileage on those will give you blisters.



Tami never rests. She has a new book out, "Fall Color Hikes: Washington".



We delve deeper into the rewards of becoming one with nature on the trails. And also snakes, bears, and other wild animals.



My cohost for this podcast is filmmaker author, lifelong friend and hiking buddy Steve Stockman. You’ll like his dry sense of humor and his book and video course “How To Shoot Video That Doesn’t Suck”.



These pop up podcasts are a bright spot for me these days, as some of you know I’m getting some chemo treatments to keep the big C at bay. It’s all good, we all know someone going through it… So if I seem a little fatigued and leaning back in my chair, or miss a week, that’s why.



Kudos to Michael McMorrow productions and our beloved David Lee for the stellar work adding graphics and postproduction to make these latest interviews shine.



Enjoy. And thank you for watching and listening.



Bob

Teaser: movie in-works about Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Alan White, drummer of Yes.



Bob Spike and Joe share latest what’s going in our lives…



The Jack and Spike show pairs our legendary cohost and friend will a brilliant young talk host named Jack Stine. Jack seems to have an encyclopedic memory, kind heart, and like Bob, a giant ego.



Downtown Joe always looks on the bright side of life. He has a new prescription that has a very pleasant side effect.



The world needs more love. (I know, that’s the opposite of clickbait).
