The show was created in 1985 by producer-writer Darrell Brogdon. The show was first known as The Imagination Workshop and presented relatively straightforward radio dramas. Beginning the late 1980s, however, full-length radio plays were de-emphasized in favor of SNL-style comedy sketches and, by 1990, the show became an all-comedy offering, broadcast regularly over KANU-FM, the NPR station licensed to the University of Kansas in Lawrence.

In 1999, The Imagination Workshop was featured on TV's 60 Minutes, in a piece by Morley Safer on the proposed de-funding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

The show's name was changed to Right Between the Ears in 2000. In 2001, RBTE was featured in its own weekly series on public TV stations. Since 2004, the series has been aired weekly on Sirius Satellite Radio, beginning on the Raw Dog Channel. More recently, episodes of Right Between the Ears have aired Saturdays at 8:00pm Eastern on the Sirius Laugh Break channel. In addition, the weekly show airs on the Kansas Public Radio network, and on KCMO AM-710 in Kansas City, MO.
