Bubba the Love Sponge® (born Todd Clem), is a native of Warsaw, Indiana who began his radio career in 1986 at WPFR in Terre Haute while he was in college. By age 25, he was doing morning hit radio in Chicago and also has had his show aired or been syndicated in Grand Rapids, MI; Milwaukee, WI; Philadelphia, PA; Toledo, OH; San Diego, CA; Columbus, OH; Cincinnati, OH; San Antonio, TX; Tampa, FL; Orlando, FL; West Palm Beach, FL; Macon, GA;
Wichita, KS; Shreveport, LA; Ft. Myers, FL; Jacksonville, FL, and
Hartford, CT, for which he earned multiple awards from Billboard and Radio
& Records, including four consecutive R&R DJ of the Year awards and six
Billboard Rock Air Personality of the Year awards.

In 1999 he legally changed his name to the trademarked Bubba the Love
Sponge®, a nickname given to him by a former fellow DJ which appears as
such on his passport and driver’s license. His name recognition and
popularity grew as the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show became syndicated
throughout the US, and he became a top-rated media figure operating out of
the Tampa Bay area.

In 2004, Bubba lost his job in terrestrial radio due to widely-publicized
crackdowns on “indecency.” During his time off, Bubba made headlines when
he ran for sheriff of Pinellas County, Florida in 2004. Although
unsuccessful in his bid, he garnered 30% of the vote.

Bubba was able to keep the entire show staff together until Howard Stern
brought him to Sirius Satellite Radio in 2006 to be part of his
groundbreaking new lineup.

In addition, the Bubba Radio Network returned to terrestrial radio in
Tampa in Jan. 2008 with a bang, jumping instantly to #1 in most major
demos.

Bubba is currently ranked #26 on TALKERS magazine’s prestigious “Heavy
Hundred” list of the top national talk radio personalities.

Bubba maintains a longtime team of loyal co-hosts and producers, who bring
a wide range of talents to the show: Executive producer 'Ravishing' Ric
Russo, audio production and impersonation wizard Manson, radio’s oldest
and crankiest pervert, Ned, and 25 Cent – the BRN's 'Young Urban Bandit.'

Listeners are equally familiar with and entertained by Bubba staffers such
as Chaz, Carl Harris, Pantera, Hammil, Caveman Miller, Gilkey and more.
Bubba broadcasts from his own, private, custom-built radio broadcast and
audio/video production facility in Tampa.

Bubba’s off-air interests, such as race car driving, enjoy a prominent
place on his show, which has become the “go to” place for people who are
interested in fast cars and bikes, hot women, captivating sports,
compelling guests, and humorous, real-world political discourse of the
“Bubba” kind.

His twelve-year-old car racing son, Tyler, and his mother “JanieCakes” are
frequently heard on Bubba’s shows and are popular figures with fans.
Bubba is respected for his ability to attract and maintain audiences with
his lightning-quick mind and tongue, his sharp sense of humor, his
everyman approach to many non-traditional radio topics, and for the unique
lingo he often uses on-air, which fans refer to as “Bubbaspeak.”

Fans of the show are known nationwide as the “Bubba Army,” and are very
active in participating in functions and calls to action, where it is not
uncommon to have thousands show their strength and support for the show. RSS Feed Widget
