Bob Rivers is probably the best-known rock and roll radio DJ in the greater Seattle area, as well as a prolific producer of parody songs that often are mistakenly attributed to "Weird Al" Yankovic.

After 11 years at rock station KISW-FM (99.9), in 2001, Rivers, and the rest of the "Twisted Radio" staff (Spike O'Neill, "Downtown" Joe Bryant, Kaci Aitchison, director Arik Korman, and producer Mike Jones), moved to Seattle's classic rock station KZOK-FM (102.5). Rivers previously had spent almost 6 years at WAAF-FM (107.3) in Boston as part of their successful "Bob and Zip" morning show with fellow on air personality Peter 'Zip' Zipfel. During a brief stint in between, at Baltimore, Maryland radio station WIYY (97.9), Rivers gained some notoriety for an 11-day, on-air marathon during the 1988 Orioles losing streak.
