EPISODE #50

12/28/25 - With Special Guest: Bob the DJ

Hosts: Kevin Purcell & Road Bill 

 

This week on The Bus Stop Blues, we welcome a true hometown hero of the airwaves, Bob the DJ from Wauconda, Illinois. Bob is one of those voices that doesn’t just play the music, he lives inside it. With a deep love for the blues and a crate-digger’s ear for the good stuff, Bob has spent years connecting listeners to songs that linger long after the last note fades.

We talk radio, records, and the magic that happens when the right song hits at exactly the right moment. From small-town signal strength to big-time passion, Bob shares stories from behind the microphone, the evolution of his sound, and what keeps him spinning tunes for the pure joy of it.

So settle in, Musicland, and enjoy a conversation that celebrates community, connection, and the timeless pull of the blues. Bob the DJ is in the house, and the Bus Stop dial is locked in.
