The Unsung Hero: Dean Metcalf

Kristi Lee Uninterrupted

Behind all successful people are those who get little if any recognition. The Bob and Tom Show has producer Dean Metcalf.

Dean joined the show as an intern in 1988 and never left. In fact as the producer of the show his role is critical. But just what does a producer do? Dean will enlighten us.

He is also the voice behind many of our characters including, Jumbo the elephant, The Pope, and many nameless accents and on the fly call ins.

We learn how the Godzilla bit started, how he is a genius at editing on the fly, the birth of the Deans and more. What does an average morning look like for Dean? What is it like to work with Tom? We also veer away from The Bob and Tom show to talk about his incredible guitar collection.

Dean has amazing stories about his first guitar, his most expensive guitar, and his most cherished. Not only does Dean collect guitars he is an incredible player. He is a member of several bands including The Electric Amish, The Tempos, The Turnip Seeds, Area Code 812, and a couple of bluegrass ensembles.

In his spare time he collects Presidential memorabilia. How did that start? He has even acquired a couple of actual life size wax dummies of Presidents Grover Cleveland and Franklin Pierce. Where does one even buy a wax dummy of a former president? You will learn.

A fascinating look at a guy who rarely gets the attention he so deserves.
