Think the best stories happen on stage? Not even close. “Backstage with Bobby” takes you behind the curtain... hotel lobbies, late-night bars, even Miami coffee shops, where Bobby Mitchell chats up rock stars, celebs, and local legends. Sometimes awkward, always hilarious.
After 46 years at ZooMiami, Ron Magill announced he will retire on May 10th. Listen as Bobby and Ron discuss ZooMiami’s origin story, which animal is the cutest, which animal leans very 50 Shades of Grey, why an octopus missing a leg probably had a great time the night before, and the real reason why Bobby spent 40 minutes talking to Ron (it was to get a girl's phone number).
I share with a heavy heart the passing of John J. Kross, Jr., lovingly known to so many of us as “Footy.” For more than 50 years, Footy devoted his life to leading Here’s Help, a place offering people hope, healing, and a second chance at life. For 10 of those years he was my partner on air. I'm grateful that with my return to South Florida two years ago I was able to spend time with Footy and share old memories together - his passing came as a complete shock. This episode features a few segments from when we woke South Florida up; I hope they'll brighten your day and spark a moment of "oh, hey - I remember that!" Rest in peace.
Bobby & Billy Joel share the same birthdate (May 9). Did they talk about that? No. They also (most certainly) did NOT talk about Christie Brinkley. Or did they? Plus, Huey Lewis has a hot take on those who tried to reimagine We Are The World.
