I Wanna Party With Bob

Canada is well known for hokey, poutine and cold weather. Eh? Yes, I also know Canada for Corner Gas and some of the best punk rock in the world (Anti-Queens, duh!). What about the ghosts and cryptids of our friendly neighbors to the north? Not content with another episode about Waverly or Whaley House, in this one, I turn to Gina and Victoria of Haunted History BC, those Canadian Mavens of...

2021 is dead. Long live 2021? No. Long live the MUSIC of 2021, though. Especially the incredible selection of songs I played on The Bobcast in 2021. So here we go, let’s put the final stake in the heart of the worst year of recent memory - for so many of us, by listening to some RAD songs! We’re gonna count ‘em down, my favorite songs that were played on The Bobcast in 2021 from 10 to 1. ...

This episode is an interview with the band plus two songs - “Brighter Blue” and “Faster Than You Know”. Once you listen to this band’s music, you’ll be hooked, j...

What would possibly make Halloween of 2021 more GRIM than a special episode all about the Brothers Grimm? Nothing! That’s why I did it! This is what you’ll get in this episode: A brand new Celluloid Catacombs with Carolyn Mauricette, this time she’s talking all about the 2005 confusion fest of a film starring Matt Damon and Heath Ledger. This edition of The Celluloid Catacombs is brought to...

We’ve covered paranormal investigating and ghosts, haunted places and haunted history, witchcraft, magic and tarot, cryptids, UFOs and now, we’re going to tie ALL of them together. As much as that’s possible? Here’s a hint - maybe Bigfoot was the inspiration for Chewbacca? Maybe Bigfoot IS Chewbacca? That woul...

Mike Wiebe of The Riverboat Gamblers and Drakulas. He’s the tall, good looking one that jumps around and sings in both bands, by the way. Mike sets sail on the WeirdBoat, the Bobcast, to talk about paranormal stuff, his bands and more in this episode. Strange car rides on Santa Fe Baldy in New Mexico, strange lights in the sky in Denton, Texas and a Goatman. And the Goatman’s Bridge. Creepy...

UFOs fall under the (very large) umbrella that is “The Paranormal”. There, I said it. I guess it’s not really a controversial opinion, it’s just that many people don’t think of UFOs from a “paranormal” point of view. Why not? Paranormal is simply defined as “something science can’t explain” and if that ain’t THE definition of UFO, I don’t know what is. Regardless, this Bobcast episode is an...

Mike Damante won me over a while ago with his “Punk Rock and UFOs” series of books, a mind-blowing series on paranormal weirdness and UFO related wildness. Mike’s latest book, “Hey Suburbia” also won me over - but in a different way. “Hey Suburbia” talks about punk rock, pop-punk and emo of the 1990’s and early 2000’s, mostly. There’s nostalgia, to be sure. But there’s also quite a bit abou...

Along with the history and haunts, let’s throw a band interview - a short one - into these episodes, be...

The band Spider, from the Los Angeles area, has pulled something off that not many bands have truly been able to do. They’ve taken the sound and the fury of 1980’s LA punk and hardcore and turned it into their own thing. A magical and perfectly punk thing, at that. Don’t think I’m saying the band lives in the past! No, Spider does their own thing, while hearkening back to the glory days of ...
