Rick Burgess

Rick Burgess is a radio morning show personality and one-half of the nationally-syndicated "Rick & Bubba Show," which broadcasts from studios in the Vestavia Hills City Center and locally on its flagship station WZZK.

The "Rick & Bubba Show" is heard for five hours each weekday morning on their flagship station WZZK-FM and on 75 affiliate stations in 17 states, primarily in the Southern United States. Most of the affiliates are FM music stations, but the show does not play music, except for bumper music leading in and out of commercial breaks.

In addition to their radio show, the duo has authored multiple books, including “Rick & Bubba's Expert Guide to God, Country, Family & Anything Else We Can Think Of,” which landed on the New York Times bestseller list at the number 7 spot in the miscellaneous category. Other books include: “Rick and Bubba's Big Honkin' Book of Huntin,” “Rick and Bubba's Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage,” “Rick and Bubba's Big Honkin' Book of Grub,” and many more.

Burgess often refers to his Christian faith and beliefs on air, with the show regarded as a family-safe alternative to other morning radio shows. Their political beliefs are also very conservative. The two became friends while working at their college’s radio station.

The show is clean, family-oriented, and addresses relationships, marriage, religion, politics, family life, and current events with a slice of unique humor.
