Richard Simmons was as kind and caring a human being as you will ever meet. Easily one of the greatest guests you could have on any show, whether it was The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson or our little radio program. He literally worked his butt off in the service of...
I was born there. In Honolulu, 1956. I have the Kenyan birth certificate to prove it. I didn't return until we were living in Seattle, and I was about 35. It's an amazing place. Hard to believe it is part of the United States, really. Until you read history. Hawaii...
I was mentioned on his show today. I got a text from my brother Richard: "Howard Stern mentioned you a bunch this morning." Huh. Hope he ripped on me. "Not really. Talking about Hall of Fame thing." Thx. I'll have to get a clip of that. "He rips on the National Radio...
As referenced in Bob's post: https://bobrivers.blog/howard-stern/ Howard Stern talks about Bob Rivers as a 2018 National Radio Hall of Fame nominee Radio Host from age 14 to Present. Currently blogging, planning to launch a new radio show later this...
I can't tell you the last time I watched a TV commercial. Maybe it was the Super Bowl. Lisa and I binge on Netflix, Amazon, Showtime or HBO. No commercials there. And there's a virtual buffet of great programs. We will never catch up. Even though Comcast is our cable...
If fake news were an actual thing, instead of a political cliche, I'd doubt the story I read today in the Wall Street Journal. I used to subscribe, but I canceled because it was just too expensive - and the Washington Post and New York Times have adjusted their...

You can't see it all. You can't know it all. You can't subscribe to everything. There is so much at our fingertips, that the biggest challenge choosing what to spend our time doing. And it's hard to know when to say when. Do I even want to find out how many hours I...
Thanks for your feedback... I read them all and try to respond when I can. Will pass on a few responses once a week or so. Let me know if you wish to be anonymous, and feel free to pontificate and not be anonymous. If you missed any of these pieces, you can visit...
Got a strange pitch from eBay today. A warning that the Supreme Court is going to force online businesses to start collecting state sales tax! What a great idea. It's a little late don't you think? Now that malls all over America have closed, or are on life support....
I've been thinking about a few subjects not taught when I was in grade school, that would have been nice to know. The most obvious hole in the curriculum was money. There was a course called home economics, but that was for girls. I think it also covered cooking and...
