Have Broom, will travel

Borah the witch stopped by the Bob and LBF Show and cast a spell on us! Borah flew in this morning on her trusty broom and beat traffic on 128 to spend sometime with us and we loved it!

She can be seen in Salem, MA every October during Halloween season. Folks have gotten to know Borah over the past few years and line up for pictures with this very colorful witch.

The Black Hat Society 

Salem's Black Hat Society was founded in October 2016 when Borah started performing for Haunted Happenings in Salem collecting spare dollars and donations with proceeds from tips being donated to local children's charities.

You can also see Borah officiating weddings and vow renewals around Salem and also has published her first book of poems and pictures that are a delight and maybe not suitable for youngsters but great for adults!

Massachusetts TOP Halloween Costume

Halloween is almost here! I have to ask what is Massachusetts TOP Halloween costume? I'm a Ghostbusters guy myself. Halloween is the one time of year we can be whoever we want to be. It would be odd if I showed up to worked as Superman on October 30. But on October 31, no one would question it. Are you a Marvel Universe person? Want to be Ironman? She Hulk? Sexy Cat?

Bob is a native New Englander, growing up (sorta) in Maine where his love for radio started at a young age. While in high school he hosted radio shows on a local radio station, and he has never looked back. Bob joined the US Navy and served onboard the Sixth Fleet Flagship as a radio and TV host. After serving for 3 years, it was off to Emerson College in Boston. Bob hosted shows in Boston on WMEX, WVBF and WSSH in the 80’s and 90’s before heading to radio stations in Raleigh, NC, Manchester, NH, and New York City. Bob has been married for almost 25 years to Carolyn, a Woburn gal and they have 3 daughters, Nicole, Taylor, and Bridget. Bob and Carolyn are proud first-time grandparents to baby Caroline, who they plan to spoil every chance they get! “I started my career in New England and could not be happier to come back to Boston where I can root for all the Boston sports teams and eat lots of lobster rolls and clam chowder (okay not lots)… It is an honor to host the WROR morning show with LBF and wake up the World’s Greatest City!” Bob writes about recipes and restaurants, pop culture and trending topics.
