Howdy folks! Welcome to a Country version of Bob Barry’s Unearthed Interviews. Here’s a woman who’s iconic as a cowboy hat at a honky-tonk, the first lady of Country music, Tammy Wynette. She was born Wynette Pugh in Tremont, Mississippi. She went from cotton picking to picking up Grammy awards. She taught us all how to spell D-i-v-o-r-c-e.

Sometimes on Bob Barry’s Unearthed Interviews we unearth incredible stories from incredible people, sometimes literally “The Incredible Hulk!” You know him as the green powerhouse who made smashing things look cool, before CGI took over Hollywood. But Lou Ferrigno is more than just muscle, he’s a world class bodybuilder, an actor, a fitness guru, and let’s be honest, probably the last guy you’d want to challenge to an arm-wrestling match. Beyond the biceps, Lou’s story is about determination,

Today we’re going back in time when the spotlight was on a man whose saxophone melodies and bandleading prowess made dance floors come alive, the incomparable Larry Elgart. Larry, along with his brother Les, didn’t just play music, they crafted the theme that got America’s feet moving, the “Bandstand Boogie,” the unforgettable tune of “American Bandstand.” When big band music began to fade, Larry improvised a new sound, characterized by tightly synchronized sax and brass sections and a lighter

The Milwaukee Brewers baseball season begins tomorrow against the New York Yankees. I thought it would be fitting to put together a podcast that would involve Baseball Hall of Fame player Joe Torre, who played with the Milwaukee Braves for nine seasons and later managed the Yankees and, in my opinion, the all-time best baseball announcer Bob Uecker. Bob was a huge supporter of the Milwaukee Braves Historical Association. At an association banquet, celebrating Joe Torre, we got a nice surprise when

Back in the 60s while the world was busy screaming for rock and roll, Chad and Jeremy were stealing hearts with their soft, melodic folk-pop hits like “A Summer Song” and “Yesterday’s Gone.” Their music was the soundtrack to daydreams, their harmonies were pure magic and to be honest, the British accents didn’t hurt either. They discuss their wild ride from

His chemistry with Joanie was so electric that it sparked the spin-off “Joanie Loves Chachi.” And let’s not forget his role as the ultimate live-in-babysitter in “Charles in Charge.” Later he stepped into the director’s chair and did some more acting, including a made for TV movie that was filmed in Madison.

Hello everyone and welcome to today’s episode of Bob Barry’s Unearthed Interviews. It’s more music and memories with singer and actress Petula Clark. And I emphasize actress because I saw Petula star, in London, as Norma Desmond in a performance of “Sunset Boulevard.” She was magnificent. You all know her from her timeless hits, most written by British composer Tony Hatch. Her first number one song was inspired by the energy and excitement on the streets of New York. “My Love” was another song
