Ron and Fez Show - Radio Stations Near Me - New York, New York

I actually stumbled onto Ron and Fez when I signed up for XM a few years back. I originally got a subscription to listen to Opie and Anthony (and the dedicated rock stations) but slowly, after a few years, I found myself enjoying Ronnie and Fezzie just as much as O and A, though on a totally different level. (The Legendary) Ron Bennington is like a ringmaster of a daily 3 ring circus. On any given day you have no idea whats going to happen, but you can be sure it will be witty, funny, and enjoyable. Will it be the beginning of an ongoing 6 month beard growing bet? Will Ronnie conduct an amazing interview with a random star? Will Fezzie have a mini nervous breakdown? Anything goes...and somehow, with Ronnie marshaling all of the comedic elements and acting as the show's driving force, it all comes together and makes for fascinating listening. I like to think of it as free form talk radio, unlike any radio show out there. I still enjoy O and A, but Ron and Fez provide one of the most unique listening experiences around, and they do so on a consistent basis. Check them out! read more

This show is like nothing I have ever heard. I'm listening to the replay right now. Ron Bennington is the smartest, funniest person I have ever heard on radio. Him, combined with the egocentric Fez Whatley and the dismantling of his psychological issues is riveting. Not to mention the great music they play, engaging interviews with all kinds of different people, movie reviews and the team that is behind the scenes which are a combination of lazy as hell and absolutely crazy. Which I love. You can tell they really love their fans too. I'm addicted to the show. Its the best thing going today! read more

A unique show if there ever was due primarily to hosts Ron Bennington's and Fez Whatley's incomparable wit and timing. The show covers a variety of topics and typically they'll throw out a topic to the listeners, take calls, and offer brilliant comments in response: a consistently funny formula. One of their greatest traits is the unparalled rapport they have with their fans be it inviting them into the studio or holding events where Ron and Fez are always approachable and genuinely seem to like spending time with their fans. Ron and Fez can talk intelligently about almost any topics yet they have a "one of us" appeal. They can never be accused of being imitators -- they are originals. If there was any justice in this world, they'd be on terrestrial radio. But since they're not: check them out Noon-3 on XM 202. You will not be disappointed. read more

A great man once said that we don't use the yellow pages anymore - we Yelp! And that great man is Ron Bennington of the Ron & Fez show! So, I think no more appropriate a Yelp review is there than this! Also, we have been implored to think outside the box for Yelp reviews and I could review 1,000 restaurants but after awhile they start to sound all the same so Ron & Fez is about as outside of the box as they come. So, ok boppers let's get down to it. I've been an enormous fan of Ron & Fez for years and have had the pleasure of visiting them in studio on several occasions thanks to East Side Dave in the past and now the immortal Pepper Hicks - mad props! I stumbled onto Ron & Fez when traveling for work and had to spend enormous amounts of time in my car - it became my daily routine to listen to the daily 3 ring circus with Ron Bennington as ringmaster. This is not your morning zoo radio show, it is witty dry humor, interviews, serious talk and current events. You never know what the day will bring and the fact that Ron is such a huge indie music and literature fan you will hear interviews with people that you just don't hear anywhere else. Host Ron Bennington not only has three radio shows and his own cupcake named after him by the legendary Molly's Cupcakes (featured on cupcake wars and their best seller) but dispenses a daily dose of wisdom and pithy one liners that make you feel as if you are gleaning advice from Jesus himself. Sidekick and freshly out of the closet Fez "Marie" Whatley injects his own dose of humor when not engulfed in his interesting battles with depression and panic attacks that add a daily dose of intrigue as you never know when Fez will be "on" or quietly sitting there while Ronnie leads the way. Every time I go to NYC I always go to a live broadcast, and this is one of the reasons why they have such a loyal fan base - they interact with their listeners and if you are really lucky (and know the right folks) they will invite you into the studio. My past trip to the Ron & Fez show was at the newly combined offices and studios of the Sirius/XM family in the McGraw Hill Building on the 27th floor right in the heart of Midtown. Almost all of the hosted Sirius/XM shows are located in this building now, with some of the only music channels at their other office in Washintgon, DC but this is the place to go. As a former publicist I can imagine this is now publicist's dream as there are literally 30 of the top shows in the country (Ron & Fez included) in the same building so celebrities are coming and going during all hours of the day so it is always interesting to just sit in the 37th floor lobby and watch the elevators. When I was there last waiting to go to the show I saw everyone from Andy Samberg to Queen Latifah to Larry Hagman (RIP) and Patrick Duffy coming in for interviews. The actual Ron & Fez studio is located in the same studio that Opie & Anthony use in the morning and it is much smaller than their older studio in the Steinway Building. Now, all of the talent has been relegated to much smaller studios. The views are absolutely amazing with floor to ceiling windows looking directly into the west 40s towards Times Square so the studio sits squarely atop the madness of midtown. My past visit I was let into the side studio to enjoy the show and for some reason Fez was in there running the boards. It was interesting to see it from that side as while Ronnie and producer Pepper Hicks were hamming it up I could watch the phone screeners and interns take phone call after phone call and pipe in information to the main boards in the studio. After the show and a brief discussion with Fez, the man himelf - Ronnie B came out to greet me - and was gracious enough to give me a complete tour of the new digs and the entire floor all the while talking to me much like he does one of his interviewees - actually interested in what you have to say, engaging and cool. Very cool as it was on a Friday and he usually gets out early so thank you Mr. Bennington - you are a truly one of the smartest, funniest radio personalities and are a truly a gentleman. If you enjoy great radio with just the right amount of juvenalia and intelligence then I highly suggest you check out the Ron & Fez show from 12-3 Eastern on XM Channel 202 or Sirius Channel 197. You will thank me later. And if in Chicago or NYC go to Molly's Cupcakes and get a Ron Bennington, I mean not just anyone has their own signature cupcake. When mighty horse rocks, he rocks the fat ass! read more

The best show on radio today. Ron really knows how to make the best out of any situation. Fez although going through some tough times right now can also be extremely quick. Fez is also one of those guys that seem to be willing to do anything to entertain the fans. Both also seem to really love what they do, and treat their fans with nothing but respect! read more

Ever listen to something that was so unique you weren't sure how to explain it? There's no way to do them justice, but i'll make the attempt. Its difficult to describe the Ron and Fez show, and impossible to describe by comparison to anyone else doing radio, and thats part of what makes them so amazing. They're funny, they're brilliant, they have great guests (not just the same tired list of people who go from show to show to show on press tours). Its a talk show about everything, and somehow they make it all interesting for me even if they're talking about basketball or something else im not into (these guys could talk about ants crossing a street and i'd be on the edge of my seat). Somehow, while laughing my ass off every day for the past ??? years, I've also gotten smarter. Listener involvement is a big part of the show, and if you tune in long enough, you'll feel like you're a part of this big, happy, disfunctional, wonderful family headed by the brilliant Ron Bennington (who by the way, has his own cupcake). Check it out-- XM Satellite Radio, Noon to Three every day. read more

For me, Ron and Fez are the main value in an XM subscription. This entertaining talk show airs from noon to 3pm on weekdays, and is available for download (for a reasonable fee) from audible.com. The show is great from the first listen, but it improves as you get acquainted with the personalities of the show's hosts and staff (which are used as on-the-air humor fodder.) Definitely worth a listen! read more

I must first admit that I loathe talk radio. However, Ron and Fez has changed my ways. Ron and Fez is an entertaining talk show on XM/Sirius radio from noon to 3pm. This show maintains a high level of energy and humor every day. The interactions between Ron Bennington and his staff will have you returning for more every day. Ron Bennington is an underrated talent in the radio world. With his quick wit and excellent interviewing skills, this gentleman deserves more fame and attention. After listening to the show for a few weeks, you will feel like Fez Whatley is a slightly crazy member of your family. You feel compassion for Fez after he tells odd but endearing stories of his daily life. I had the pleasure of meeting two staff members in the past few months. Earl Douglas was very nice after meeting at a BBQ/softball game. Eastside Dave is a different story. He took my special sunscreen during the same event. Because of his action, I received a horrible sunburn. His pleasant wife later apologized for him. read more

I learned about the show on a trip to Chicago where I discovered the Ronnie B. cupcake (from yelp). I loved the cupcake so much. I then bought a new car a few weeks ago that had XM installed and heard a commercial the allowed me to rekindle the deliciousness of the cupcake. So I tuned in the next morning (9 A.M. - 12 Noon here on the west coast). I haven't missed a show since. This is a great talk radio show, like nothing else on the air. read more

An everyday must. I can not get through a day w/o my R&F podcast! I totally find myself saying "Ron is SO RIGHT" several times a day. I signed up for O&A and I find me being more excited to hear R&F. read more

I'll never forget hearing that very first show back in 2000 on WNEW, some new programming had been added to 102.7FM in NY and I was skeptical about giving the shows a try, one by one I listened to them all. I was not crazy about any of them until I heard the very first broadcast of "RonandFez . com", I was instantly hooked on the show. It was an overnight program and I would spend many nights listening because the hosts were absolutely amazing, funny and unlike any other radio show I had ever heard before. I have been a loyal listener to Ron and Fez's show ever since then. I have followed their program from WNEW, to WJFK, and ultimately to Sirius XM Radio. It is easily the funniest and most intelligent show on the radio. I like a lot of what satellite radio has to offer but my biggest reason as a listener is due in large part to the Ron and Fez show. You never know what you are going to get from one show to the next, it could be a show with interesting discussions of hot bed political topics, movies, genres, music, life, food, nostalgia, or just plain crazy discussions and funny segments. No matter they have to say or the direction of the shows they are always great and very funny. Hosts Ronnie "Two Shows, a Book, and his own Cupcake" Bennington and Fez "Marie" Whatley are easily some of the best interviewers around. They can take any guest or even a relatively unknown guest and make them someone you will have interest in by the end. You also know a show is great by their listeners and Ron and Fez have some of the greatest most loyal and active listeners I have ever seen. I believe the reason behind this is because aside from a lot of hosts, they are interactive with their fans, don't take them for granted and make them a part of the show. On a side note, when 9/11 occurred it was a freaky and scary time for everyone. I can honestly say that as numb as I felt in the aftermath of it all I was able to get by easier by listening to Ron and Fez, who provided some of the greatest radio programming I ever heard during that time. The helped bring a calm to many people and helped us all to laugh in spite of everything. I highly urge anyone who likes to laugh hard and hear great radio to subscribe to XM or Sirus Satellite Radio and give their show a try, it is on Weekdays from Noon to Three, with repeats and occasionally special programming on the weekends also. I listen everyday, sometimes with a great big bowl of Count Chocula at my side and enjoy. On XM they are on Channel 202, and Sirius 197. read more

Seriously, I can not listen to any other talks show without feeling like I've been beaten over the head with a mallet. They can do "dumb" humor, but they do it in a smart way. Then after the break they talk about Philosophy or the greatest director of all time. Nobody, and I mean nobody, is as quick on the draw as Ronnie B. If you have XM/Sirius and you haven't checked it out yet, you're missing out. read more

There has never been (and probably never will be) a radio show I connect to more than the Ron & Fez Show. it is a show that questions everything, including the ever-important philosophical questions: "Rhino Vs. equally sized lobster - who would win in a fight?" or "How many 9 year old kids could you beat up?". Its not just the important issues that they cover either, they sometimes take a light-hearted approach to such troubling topics as "Are people who still listen to Black Sabbath brain damaged?". I spend a lot of time in my car on a daily basis for my career (as can be determined by the giant hole in my floor-mat where my driving heel rests), and there is no better way to escape the insanity of fighting traffic all day then by listening to a comic genius paired up with a man who checked himself into a mental institution for a vacation last year. Add on a hipster in denial and a 30 year old red-headed alcoholic who pumps out as many kids as things he's willing to shove up his bum to impress former Guns N' Roses members, and you have radio gold on a daily basis. I also recommend getting an audible subscription so you can listen to the whole show without commercials (except live reads - they leave those in so you can hear Ron try to piss off every sponsor they have) and not miss a quip. If you are a fan of music and film, then you will appreciate the timely show openers every day, which are always a sign of the brilliance that will follow. read more

By far the best thing that is broadcast today! Sharp, biting commentary. Nutty interns. Red headed Irishmen (hey Dave). whipping boy producers. trips inside the minds of genius.... listen daily and be transformed. Ronnie B: you sound like a million bucks! mahabone my brothers. read more

This show has been changed to "Bennington". It is great. Ron is the best,?and now He is joined by his daughter "Gail". A fantastic show. Topical and funny. read more

the funniest, hippest, smartest, intelligent and entertaining radio show out there. People who don't know Ron & Fez are missing out in life!

Ron and Fez are the best show on satellite radio. Ron is quick, insightful and funny in addition to being one of the best interviewers on the air. The show tends to be a little "inside" so new listeners will have to devote a little time to fully appreciate the show but it will be time well spent. read more

Ron and Fez Show - Fez during a Ron and Ron Live Gig - Radio Stations Near Me - New York, New York

See all

The best show in radio, by far. Everyone needs to get a Sirius/XM radio and check them out.

Like a lot of people here, I first found out about Ron & Fez through Opie & Anthony and am finding myself listening to them more and more than O&A. Their humor is still edgy without being too "cringy," and it's often very intelligent. Also, just the whole pacing and use of silence is perfectly done. I like that they don't laugh at every single funny thing, they let the audience do that. Ron Bennington is the man, Davey Mac is pretty awesome and just everything about this show is great. Get on board! read more

Hey buddies, Every once in a while I get a day to kick back and smoke a little herb and unwind. One of my favorite things to do on these "mental health days" is listen to the Ron and Fez program. they usually make me laugh with all their East Coast style nonsense. But I don't care what anyone says, Ron does one hell of a job with his interviews and Fez is that gay friend we all love. Keep up the good work boys and just know that every so often you make a profession student laugh the stress of doctoral studies away. Southern Cali all the way! Dale Galvan read more

Got to meet Ron, Fez, Pepper Hicks, and Intern Vito at the Artie Lange Unmasked. Been Listening to the show since WNEW. It was eerie hearing their voices come out of their faces. Ronnie B shook every audience members hand at the end. read more

Best show on radio today. Ron is a genius and is the funniest guy out there! Even if I don't agree with his point to start, he usually has me agreeing with him by the end of his argument. Pepper is pretty funny too. read more

2 fat, self important hacks on the radio, how compelling & original. FOAD RNF

I have been listening to this show since 2008 and am a certified junkie. A puppet master host, a confused A-sexual co-host, a half man half horse producer and of course classic shelbs. You'll stay for Ron but you'll come for Fez, just don't expect any reciprocation cause Fez doesn't go that way. read more
