Simpson was a fairly prominent television news anchor in San Francisco (KTVU, Channel 2, in Oakland; KQED, Channel 9; and KOFY, Channel 20) and Los Angeles from about the late 1970s through the 1990s, but is most notable as the host of Coast to Coast AM on Saturday nights from about 2000 until about 2003, alternating with George Noory; she has also been a long-time host of her own show on San Francisco talk radio station KSFO (AM). She occasionally hosted Coast to Coast AM on other nights besides Saturday as well, but has not hosted since 2004 or early 2005. As a substitute for the show's founder and current weekend host, Art Bell, Simpson was known for her conservative political views. As of 2006, she also writes a commentary column entitled "The Babe In The Bunker" for the conservative online news site WorldNetDaily. Currently, Barbara, "The Babe in the Bunker," is on KSFO Saturdays and Sundays with frequent weekday fill-in appearances.
She is an experienced markswoman and has taught at Michigan State University.
