Bill Withers
Welcome to Bob Barry's Unearthed Interviews. Today we're opening the vault and taking you back to a conversation with Bill Withers, one of the most honest and enduring voices in American music. During my years on the radio, I had the privilege of meeting many legendary artists, but Bill stood apart. He was warm, thoughtful, and refreshingly unpretentious, with songs that spoke straight from the heart. From "Lean On Me" and "Ain't No Sunshine" to "Use Me" and "Just the Two of Us," Bill turned life's simplest moments into timeless music. We woke Bill up, so this turned out to be a short interview.

Dolly Parton
Today we return to a very special conversation, one that now carries even greater meaning. The world has lost a remarkable talent and a truly remarkable human being. Dolly Parton, who touched millions of lives through her music, her laughter, her generosity, and her enormous heart, has passed away at the age of 80. But today, through the magic of podcasting, we can hear that wonderful voice again. Dolly was more than a superstar. She was a songwriter, singer, actress, and businesswoman. But to those of us who met her, she was also warm, funny, genuine and unforgettable. From her hits "Jolene," "I Will Always Love You," "Nine to Five" and "Here You Come Again," Dolly left behind a legacy of music, kindness, and hope that will live on for generations. So, as we remember and celebrate the life of this extraordinary woman, we're honored to bring you once again my conversation with the one and only Dolly Parton.

Nicholas Schaffner (Beatles book author)
It was Sept. 4, 1964 that the Beatles appeared at the Milwaukee Arena. If you're a Beatles fan, chances are you've read-or at least heard of-one of the finest books ever written about the Fab Four: "The Beatles Forever." Long before the internet and endless documentaries, one author stood out for his meticulous research, engaging storytelling, and deep appreciation of the music that changed the world. That author was Nicholas Schaffner. Nick wasn't just a writer, he was a passionate music historian whose work also explored Pink Floyd, the British Invasion and the remarkable artists who reshaped popular music. "The Beatles Forever" is still regarded as one of the definitive books on the Beatles. Today, we'll celebrate the Beatles visit to Milwaukee and explore why this book continues to influence fans, writers, and historians decades later. So, whether you've collected Beatles records for years, or just beginning your journey into the greatest story in rock and roll, you're in for an interesting conversation.

Del Reeves
Settle in and turn up the volume, because today we're welcoming one of country music's true originals! A singer with a rich, unmistakable voice. A storyteller who could bring America's truck stops, back roads, and everyday folks to life. And the man who gave us unforgettable hits like "Girl on the Billboard" and "Looking at the World Through a Windshield." From the Grand Ole Opry, where we interviewed him, to the top of the country charts, he entertained audiences with humor, heart, and songs that painted pictures of life on the open road. His music became the soundtrack for truckers, travelers, and country fans across America.

Bob Collins and Jack Lee
If you pinned me down and asked, "Who were the two most talented men you worked with at WOKY?" I would quickly answer, Bob Collins and Jack Lee. Bob was one of the most beloved radio personalities in American broadcasting. His warm conversational style and humor made him a top-rated personality at WOKY and later at WGN in Chicago. Uncle Bobby was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2008. Jack lee is remembered as one of the personalities who helped define Milwaukee's Top 40s era. He became successful in radio management and remained active in broadcasting for decades. Jack was inducted into the Wisconsin Broadcasters' Hall of Fame in 1999. In this podcast, you'll hear Bob Collins and I make a bet on the Packer-Bear game while Jack Lee and a character he invented, "Fern Quinby Melrose" added commentary. The photo has WOKY Program Director George Wilson between Bob and myself. The photo with Jack Lee and myself was taken at the WBA Hall of Fame banquet.

Dr. Theodore Blough
Welcome to the podcast. Left-handers Day is Aug. 13. Lefties make up only about ten percent of the world's population, but they've certainly made their mark on history. From artists and inventors to athletes and musicians, left-handers have often been surrounded by myths, misconceptions, and more than a little curiosity. Are they really more creative? Is their brain wired differently? And what challenges do they face in a world designed mostly for right-handed people? Dr. Theodore Blough is an expert who's spent years studying the remarkable world of left-handedness. We'll separate fact from fiction, recognize famous lefties, and maybe even discover why being left-handed can be a real advantage.
