Established in 1983 and going national in 1995, '''''The Bob and Tom Show''''' is a nationally-syndicated Morning Zoo radio show, aired live from the [[Enforced Plug|NAPA]] Studios in the [[Stealth Pun|Friggemall]] Building overlooking beautiful, downtown [[Indianapolis]]. Known for its amusing bits and its frequent interviews with up-and-coming comedians, the show serves its intended purpose: To get people out of bed, preferably with a laugh.

The show broadcasts nationally from 6-10 AM on weekdays, and over 2008-10 the best bits were played on Superstation WGN television at midnight (thanks to the modern miracle of a TV camera in the studio). Since the mid-1980s, a series of albums compiling recent highlights from the show have been released; at this point the frequency is one or two multi-disc sets per year (two to four discs each).

* [[Closer to Earth]]: Kristi, of course.
* [[Greatest Hits Album]]: 1999 brought out the two-disc ''Greatest Hits Volume One'', but most of their compilations of previously-released material are themed rather than show-spanning and usually include "new" material that fits the theme. Those are...
