We're all so excited that Zach stopped by the Bobby Bones show today! And since Zach is in Greensboro, Oct. 23rd, I thought it would be cool to do an episode with the interview and give you a shot to win some free tickets to the show. Just listen to the end and I'll tell you how to win! Enjoy!
I had a chance to chat with new artist Kameron Marlowe! He's an NC native (from Kannapolis) and will be at Bull's Band's and Barrels! Check out the interview and then take a listen to his music here:

I got a little time with Thomas Rhett recently. It's funny because I met him in 2012, a few weeks after he got married and turned 21. So to chat with him now after all these years was a lot of fun. We're both married girl dads now, so our conversations are a little different. Give this a listen and as always, reach out with questions, comments, (good or bad) and drop me an email anytime: jtbosch@iheartmedia.com I'd love to hear from you.
UNSCRIPTED RE-BOOT I'm calling it that mainly because it's been so long since I've posted, but also because RE-BOOTS are the thing! TV shows, movies, music, it's all we get these days.
In this 1st epsode, Hanna Tyler and I talk about football, Taylor Swift, Chris Young, road construction, trucks, being famous (not us) and the possible split of Blake and Gwen!
I hope you enjoy it, and share it with your friends. If you hate it, share it with people you don't like, I don't mind. Just as long as you listen. And as always, feel free to hit me up with comments, question or if there something you'd like us to talk about, send it here:

It's always fun when you get to see a brand new country artist at the very beginning. Shane is that guy. Less than 7 months ago he was mowing laws for the city in his hometown of Columbia, TN when a chance meeting with a country superstar got the ball rolling. The story is one for the ages and almost unbelievable.
Matt Stell has had massive success in country over the last 3-4 years with his hit Prayed For You. But as things were just starting to roll for him, the pandemic hit and things came to a stand still. But fast forward to today and things are back on track with a new song, and tour! He's also excited about going out with Brett Young, and hinted that something "BIG" is coming as well. And we also discuss being left handed in a right handed world! Enjoy ...
Really there is not much I can say about Jon Reep. If you know him, you love his work. If you don't know him you should! I got a chance to chat with him and found out that it's pretty easy to run for mayor in a small town!
Finally a new podcast. I've been trying for a long time to get Uncle Kracker to sit down and talk but we never found the time! Well since he's home doing absolutely nothing right now, we figured why not! It was a lot of fun to hear some of the stories from when he first started with Kid Rock, his first solo project, his time with Kenny Chesney and how he actually bailed on his European tour! I hope you like it and please feel free to hit me up and let me know what you think!
I've been a fan of this band since the first time I heard Break Up With Him. But my love for them goes beyond the music ... I love that they are a band, a TEAM. When you interview them, you interview all 5 of them. A lot of times you'll get one or 2 members of a band to come talk to you, but not with Old Dominion! And for some reason that makes them much more special to me. I can't explain it. You'll hear me talk to them about that in this episode. We also talk about touring, song writing, shoes, the midway at the fair and the ONE THING you're not supposed to do on a tour bus. We recorded this very early in the morning and some of us (ok mostly me) we're still a little sleepy but it was a lot of fun!
Matt Stell is one of those country artist's that come along very rarely. His hit "Prayed For You" was a grassroots success. That's pretty rare these days and I couldn't be more excited! I got a chance to sit and talk with him about that, his time as a Texas country artist and more.
I've been a fan of Luke since the first time I heard Hurricane. I was lucky enough to see him when he did his first run of visits to radio and he played in my boss's office. It's one of the cool things that go with being in radio, I get to see amazing artists early in their career. I will tell you that he has never changed who he is from the 1st time I met him. He still the most humble person he was then even after all his success and that's what makes me a fan. This was a fun (but short visit) before the show at PNC.
I was pretty excited to sit and talk with Ace. If you don't know he is half of the Ace and TJ show on Hit's 96.1 here in Charlotte and many other stations across the country. As I've said before I'm a fan of great radio people and I love talking to them and hearing how they got where they are in radio. I've always loved listening to their show long before I worked in the same building as them and their "Grin Kids" charity is one of the most amazing things I've ever heard about! But this conversation took a turn when we started talking about our love to KISS. Yes, Ace and I are massive KISS fans and you'll hear that as you listen. I hope you enjoy and please let me know what you think good or bad. Email me at jt@969thekat.com
You may not know who Ryan Hurd is. Most people know him as Maren Morris' husband, but let me be clear; He was a big name before they met. Ryan is a very in demand song writer in Nashville and well on his way to becoming a big star as a performer as well. As always Unscripted is exactly what I say it is: No agenda no script, just me with someone I think is interesting, talking about whatever they think is interesting!
It was a lot of fun to sit and talk with Brantley Gilbert. I've been fortunate enough to have worked with him since he was first signed to a major label (as you'll hear us talk about) AND I've been a fan for quite sometime. So this episode is really just a couple of guys catching up on old times and talking about the future. And that's how I've envisioned this pod-cast to be. I hope you enjoy the stories and please feel free to email me: jt@969thekat.com I'd love your feedback, good or bad.
It might seem odd for me to sit and talk with another radio personality. I mean I get it, Paul isn't a country star ... But he actually is! I'm a fan of great radio talent (or as people call them DJ's) so I jumped at the chance to talk to Paul about his amazing career!
I got a chance to sit with Brandon Lay who is one of the best NEW COUNTRY artists out right now. We talked about opening for Kenny Chesney, writing songs and how he's never watched Seinfeld!
iHeart Country On The Verge artist Jimmie Allen sat and talked about his success as an artists, and being an African American in country music isn't as big of a deal as people think it is.
JT got some time with Preston and Chris from LoCash to discuss song writing. Wait until you hear how they came up with the song "Truck Yeah", and Chase Rice discusses his road to success.
JT talks with Amy McKinney from St. Jude, builder Jeff Newton and celebrity designer Michael Moloney from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition about our 2019 St. Jude Dream Home.
JT Bosch sits down with Travis Denning to talk about his music, touring and his first fake ID.
