His latest book is called: Misbelief: What Makes Rational People Believe Irrational Things? On…

If you love The Grateful Dead, Cannabis, and Psychedelic experiences, you should enjoy Bob, Ed, and Andrew talking about what may be the Greatest Concert On Earth. I talked my son Andrew into a Dead and Company Show at the Sphere last week. Now we are both Deadheads, and I have purchased tickets to 3 more upcoming shows. In all that amounts to 16 1…

It’s the first Bob Spike and Joe podcast in a long time, and the first since Joe Bryant’s heart attack. Note: If you don’t want to hear 3 old guys talk about their health, this may not be the show for you. On the other hand, talking about dying is a refreshing break from Politics. You won’t believe what Joe ate in the 48 hours preceding his heart a…

Special Guest, Pro Musician, Comic, and amazing personality Chace McNinch. Thank you to my inspirational and kind niece JodyLynn, who spotted Chace performing in Montana. Chace happens to be Trans. Does that make you uncomfortable? I hope you will find her gentle sarcasm and acceptance of all people to be both inspired and contagious. If you believ…

Andrew Rivers is in Las Vegas for his first ever headlining gig… it goes very well. We talk about his new steady (for now) girlfriend. Lisa and I zoomed with the two of them, and there seemed to be chemistry. We talked about Global Politics a little bit. I think Andrew is a radical centrist like me. Lisa pops in and talks about how disgusting the “…

We’re back after a few months of Bob getting medical attention. So much to catch up on with Zip and Ed. Bob admits that he’s never known a Trans person, and we decide that’s going to change (.. In Part 2!) If Joe Biden were smart, he’d go on Howard Stern every week, and make John Stewart his campaign manager. If not, get used to Trump: The Sequel. …

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.

We pay tribute to …

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 w…

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 morning…

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.

Journalist/Supermom, Maura Gallucci and Filmmaker/Author Steve Stockman join Andrew & I… News stuff will come up of course, but if we talk about our lives and what’s important to us each, I think that makes it interesting. I acknowledge my treatments. I’ve been using my forced laziness to sit and talk with more friends than ever before. Side effect…

Bob and Zip hang out with Andrew Rivers. Bob talks for the first time about being inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. How it feels, and who some of his biggest influences were. He and Zip do some reminiscing about dating in the late ‘70s, and the first time he met Lisa. We had planned a fascinating interview with one of the most respected record …

We shoot the breeze with bluesman Dudley Taft, one of the original members of Spike and the Impalers, is also the direct descendant of a US President (Howard Taft) He tours the world, but lives in Ohio, in a home complete with recording studio that he purchased from Peter Frampton. Lots of great stories and thunderous groove in his music videos. En…

Fun fact. When Maura Gallucci joined our radio show, the ratings took off and made us #1 with adults in Seattle. If you were listening to the Bob Rivers Show in the 90’s and early 2000’s, you heard all the stories as our children became toddlers and teenagers. Back then the internet was a place where scientists texted each other using modems, and a…

Bob and Son Andrew Rivers have a friendly father son spar. Not so much a cage match, I suppose. That phrase might be clickbait. How do we navigate in a world where every individual with a smart phone believes they are (or maybe could or should be) a global celebrity? Is the increasing power of tech titans causing a marked decline in human kindness?…

Is Bob an Elon Musk Fanboy? Is Zuckerberg now a good guy? Was Bill Gates the Antichrist back when Microsoft was the Death Star? Has Jeff Bezos made our lives better? Was Steve Jobs a good person?

Tonight we go deep on what kind of podcast we want to do. More intimate, honest and hopefully uplifting. Less current events. Not none, but less. …Because these days a current event is stale in a day or two. And the ones that stay topical are aimed at the reptilian brain. We reveal the author of the quote: A lie gets halfway around the world before…

Comedian Kristin Key ( @KristinKeyComedy ) who has one of the nicest smiles in all of show biz. Her comedy is an uninhibited mix of edgy, joyful, a little dirty and always inclusive. And she sings and plays guitar, but not like most comics (badly) Kristin has a beautiful voice and her original and parody songs will have you busting a gut. ?????????…
