Bob Moody is a native Arkansan who graduated from Dollarway High School in Pine Bluff. He was a student at the first Presidential Classroom for Young Americans in Washington, D.C. and studied journalism at the University of Missouri and the University of Arkansas. His fifty-year career as a radio personality, newsman, and programmer included stops at top-rated stations in San Antonio, Denver, Detroit/Windsor, Louisville, Shreveport, and Baltimore. He has served on the board of directors of both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association and was inducted into the Country Music Radio Hall of Fame in 2007. In 1990 he was named Honorary President of Scotland's Auchinleck Boswell Society.
His first book, now in its second edition, was "The Terror of Indiana: Bent Jones & The Moody-Tolliver Feud". This was the first full-length account of a blood feud involving his family that took place in Southern Indiana in the 1870's and which attracted national and international press attention. His newest book is "DANK: The Life of Daniel O. Spencer", the first biography/anthology of one of Indiana's most beloved and colorful characters of the late nineteenth century.
Bob and his wife, Karen, live in Jeffersontown, Kentucky.
