The Bob Zima Radio Showgram

About The Bob Zima Radio Showgram

Welcome to The Bob Zima Radio Showgram — located somewhere between common sense and complete chaos. Hosted by Bob Zima, a longtime radio guy, licensed counselor, author, speaker, Second City-trained comedian, two-time open-heart surgery survivor, and self-proclaimed Frequent Flyer to Hell and Back, the Showgram is an entertaining and educational exploration of this strange, messy, funny, painful, and occasionally magnificent experience we call life. Through personal stories, irreverent humor, practical psychology, unforgettable characters, and lessons earned from both professional experience and personal trips to hell and back, Bob explores relationships, anger, conflict, grief, resilience, addiction, recovery, aging, marriage, mental wellness, and the everyday absurdities that make us human. You may even hear from some unusual visitors along the way, including Bobby Corona, the Karaoke Counselor; Pablo Palmetto, the Pastor of Disaster; and Dr. Bite, who are always ready to offer their own questionable wisdom and unsolicited opinions. This isn't a lecture. It isn't a therapy session. And it definitely isn't another overly polished and produced self-help podcast pretending that life can be fixed in five easy steps.

    I, Me & My

    When you’re advocating for yourself in conversation, remember this: the "I's" have it. Stay focused on your experience—what you’re thinking, feeling, wanting, needing, and expecting.
