Everyone is talking about the latest champ on Jeopardy who has made over $1 million bucks.

Is Ken Jennings Unbeatable?

BOB & TOM SHOW
One of the top syndicated morning radio shows is The Bob & Tom Show.

Unfortunately since we can't hear them in our neck of the woods -- ("hey Clear Channel!") -- we were not so familiar with this amazing duo. But Bob & Tom are huge fan favorites with our search audience. This week alone we noticed an enormous jump in their popularity.
