When Moby released "Destroyed" the year was 2011 and I was running 103.9 PROUD FM.
My friend Mike Rice (who I worked with at Edge102) was with EMI music at the time.
I proposed an in depth long form interview with Moby in which we'd play some new tracks along with some old ones.
Mike made it happen and I was fortunate enough to sit down with one of my favourite artists of all time.
I am going to throw the odd one of these flashbacks into the Bob's Basement feed as I research my back catalogue of interviews in radio.
Speaking of radio - at the end of this episode I give a little update as to what may or may not be going on with me professionally.

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

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!
Also check out the listing for her villa that is available for rentals - it's stunning!

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.

Bob and Jim talk about how growing up in a military household prepared him for all the unexpected changes that can come with a career in broadcast.

Talk about change! One minute you're doing your successful morning show with a side hustle of a little voice work here and there...and the next you're on CNN, Good Morning America and Ryan Seacrest?!!?!?

(Trust me you've heard her)
BUT Bob and Kat go waaaay back. The currently work for the same company and it is the second time they have. (Radio is a very small industry)
