I am a 35-time award-winning journalist whose work has appeared in print, radio, online and television. I am currently a Reporter for Financial Planning Magazine. Most recently, I was Technology Reporter for Wealth Management Magazine; Editor of the Wabash Plain Dealer; News Editor of NUVO; Managing Editor of the Indiana Lawyer; and City Editor, Opinion Page Editor and Editorial Board Member of the Kokomo Tribune. I was also a reporter at WFHB, the Times-Mail, The Reporter-Times, Ukiah Daily Journal and Ukiah Valley Television.
Oh yeah, and I’m also the proprietor of the podcast, The Rob Burgess Show.
A quick programming note: Most of this episode features me playing my ukulele and singing, something I also did on Episode 282. I did also sing and play guitar near the end of Episode 258 featuring my friend, Mark Rohrer.
Here are the songs you'll hear me cover on this episode, which was recorded live on the evening of Oct. 29, 2025 at Spot 21 on Fremont Street in Las Vegas:
“Bad Minor Moon Rising” - Creedence Clearwater Revival (minor key version of “Bad Moon Rising”)
