Bob and Brian is a talk radio show broadcast from WHQG in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Topics of discussion include politics, celebrity gossip, and sports, along with the random daily events.

The show broadcasts weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and repeats as a week-in-review show on Saturday mornings.

Longtime friends who grew up in Union Grove, Wisconsin, Bob Madden and Brian Nelson went to high school and technical college together before teaming up to work in radio in January 1981. They had brief stints for stations in Florida, Missouri, Michigan, and Toledo, Ohio, before moving to Milwaukee's "Lazer 103" (WLZR) on July 20, 1987 (WLZR has since become WHQG). [1]
