Inducted into the National Radio Hall Of Fame as the youngest honoree ever, Bobby Bones has been dubbed “the most powerful man in country music” (Forbes). His nationally syndicated radio show reaches millions of listeners on 100+ stations and garnered a 2017 Country Music Association award for “National Broadcast Personality of the Year,” following two ACM Awards for “National On-Air Personality of the Year” in 2014 and 2016. His popular podcast, BobbyCast, a “treasure trove of unusually candid anecdotes…” (Washington Post), is quickly approaching its 100th episode and has been downloaded more than 2 million times. Bones sits down with top artists and songwriters – Kelsea Ballerini, Dierks Bentley, John Mayer and Chris Stapleton to name a few – for in-depth personal interviews.
