Host Pat Jobe
Pat Jobe’s years in public life give him an ease with
audiences that make him a natural to host The Connection.
 As a newspaper columnist, journalist and public radio commentator, he has entertained
and informed folks through media as varied as public radio’s Your Day program,
SCETV’s Friends and Neighbors, and the Hometown News
weeklies in Spartanburg and Greenville counties. He also served ten years in
the United Methodist ministry.
His engaging storytelling style and upbeat humor spring from his six years of
work with The Radio Free Bubba Traveling Road Show. With his radio-writing
partners, Meg Barnhouse and Kim Taylor, he has done shows in cities around the
state.
He is the author/coauthor of three books: The Best of
Radio Free Bubba, The Return of Radio Free Bubba, and 365
Ways To Criticize The Preacher, A Very Short Novel. The
Best of Radio Free Bubba is used as a freshman composition
textbook on university campuses around the country. Jobe
has also won a number of press writing awards and has been
honored by the NC Education Association for his writing about
education.
He is passionate about the impact of politics, religion, education,
popular culture and high-fiber diets on life in South Carolina,
thus his enthusiasm for The Connection and its goals
of entertainment and positive social change. His own work for
change includes years of advocating for battered women, abused
children and the environment.
Jobe is also a singer-songwriter and a former pizza delivery
guy.
