Bob's Basement: A Podcast About Change Bob Willette

Hey there! Been too long, I know. There is a little life news I hint at in the start of this episode, that I can't quite go into yet...and then my episode of WISHLIST from Pearl Jam Radio. I hope you enjoy. More podcasts to come more often - I promise.

Had some technical difficulties with this one...and we are a little late getting it out. One of the best Hard Rock bands to come out of the 90s is and was FILTER. Richard Patrick is the founder of Filter. Well, he really IS Filter. In August Bob had the pleasure of talking to Richard about his days in Nine Inch Nails, the new Filter album "The Algorithm", his sobriety and of course how does it feel to write a song like "Take a Picture" and see it grow and grow and grow

Sure he was in The Spoons.

Sure he was in Honeymoon Suite

Sure he is one of the most talented musicians the great city of Burlington ever produced...but he is by far known most as Bob's Duke Cousin Co-host of TOAST on Toronto Mike'd Podcast.

Monthly Bob and Rob join Mike and talk about music of all kinds.

This time Bob and Rob talk about change...in Rob's storied career!

In December 2022 Bob travelled to Treasure Beach Jamaica. And oh what a treasure it was! There he met entrepreneur and real estate developer Kirin Singh. A fellow Canadian Kirin had visited Jamaica in 2017 and thought "I'd really like to live here!" ....something most Canadians think when they travel south. The difference here is - She has done it! Talk about change!

Award-winning actress and activist, Loretta Swit, who received the BETTY WHITE Award from Actors & Others for Animals in 2017, joins Bob to talk about her new fragrance and her new book available at www.switheart.org.

Of course they also talk about her many years as a stage and screen actor....and dive deep into the many changes that happened on the iconic television show MASH. 

WARNING:  There is Forty Creek Whisky consumed during this episode.

Adam Robinson knows about change.  He was the head of engineering at Evanov Radio Group for many years and during those years the company grew from 3 stations to something like 19.  All of those stations needed studios built.   Including 103.9 PROUD FM where Bob and Adam met.  If you are a fan of Bob's Basement then you know we owe Adam a huge thanks - as he helped Bob put together his basement studio and still to this day Bob records on a mic that Adam has "lent" him.  

This episode was recorded in early December of 2022.
