I am currently Senior Reporter for ThinkAdvisor. Most recently, I was Reporter for Financial Planning Magazine; Technology Reporter for Wealth Management Magazine; Editor of the Wabash Plain Dealer; News Editor of NUVO; Managing Editor of the Indiana Lawyer; and City Editor, Opinion Page Editor and Editorial Board Member of the Kokomo Tribune. I was also a reporter at WFHB, the Times-Mail, The Reporter-Times, Ukiah Daily Journal and Ukiah Valley Television. Oh yeah, and I'm also the proprietor of the podcast, The Rob Burgess Show. A quick programming note: Most of this episode features me playing my ukulele and singing, something I also did on Episode 282 at the Balboa Pier in Newport Beach, California; on Episode 286 at the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas; and Episode 296 at the French Market in New Orleans. I did also sing and play guitar near the end of Episode 258 featuring my friend, Mark Rohrer. This time, I busked on May 3, 2026 at Lake Eola Park in Orlando, Florida. I only played for about a half an hour before an Orange County Parks Department Employee came up to me. “Sir, you can play, you just can't be busking, alright?” the guy said, in what sounded like an Australian accent. “Why not?” I said. “It's against park rules.” “Really?” “Yeah.” “I called city hall. And I wasn't informed of that.” “You can play your instrument here, you just can't be busking, asking for money.” “I don't ask for money. I don't have a sign.” “OK then. OK cool. Cool.” “You sure?” “Yeah no worries.” But, as you'll hear, I did not think he thought it was cool. So, I left soon after. In this episode you'll hear only one song from the performance, “Why Don't You Love Me” by Hank Williams.
