    With Fez!
    Charles B.

    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!

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

The amazing diversity of programming and depth of this station can catch almost anyone's ear. What is refreshing, is all the people playing the music are volunteers, who do not have to follow a corporate format. You will not hear a loop of the same songs day after day. Each 1-4 hour show has their own genre theme, but beyond that can play anything within their theme. I am always surprised by something new every time I listen. The one issue that is troubling is that their federal funds have been cut by 200k recently. Since it is a non-profit station, they rely heavily on listeners to help support the station, and especially during their funds drive this month. I really hope it can continue over the years. Check their website for programming and take a listen. It's one of those rare gems on the airways.

    This venerable, indie radio station is a five star diamond state. WFMU has evolved over the endless…read moreyears. The DJ's and tastemakers are first class. The music curated is a varied, eclectic, freeform heaven of sorts. You will be attracted to its organic community. There are events at Monty Hall where one can be an anonymous tourist. Check out the Record Fair as well. WFMU has broadened and inspired me in my own artful pursuits. So listen in, tune out the mainstream noise and dream.

I'm requesting to stop that advertisement if possible. I'm gonna do the same review on KTV they have also started that advertisement over there. thanks, Syed

I have listened to Elvis Duran and the Morning Show every single morning for all these years! I had them on the morning of 9-11 when they literally saw the plane hit the tower. They were amazing at getting listeners through that tough time. Then again during the pandemic they lifted up listeners and got them through another dark time in NY. They are funny, up to date on current events, and talk to you like family. I never miss a show now either thanks to OnDemand through iheart radio! From the top of the empire state building... always! Happy 25yrs EDMS!!!! I also loved listening to Mo Bounce in afternoons or nights and I am very upset they let him go to revamp the lineup. Minus one star for that.

    Listened for many years but the other reviews are accurate. They have this massive catalog of music…read morebut they play the same songs over and over, especially certain artists. Same 2 Rush songs daily. It's like having a closet full of clothes and picking the same 10 things to wear every day. They do have the top 1043 countdown Thanksgiving weekend which allows you to hear some different stuff. However they now broadcast NY Jets games, which takes priority. Music, including the countdown, gets shuttled to the background. I gave one star for some of the DJs. With fewer people listening to terrestrial radio, one would think they'd do better. Sad!

    I've never been a fan of FM "classic" radio. In my teens, I became bored with the groups I had…read moregrown up listening to-- the Beatles, the Doors, Led Zeppelin, etc. (let me hasten to add that as an adult I've re-evaluated these groups, have "re-discovered" them, and...as a seasoned, hopefully more mature, less dogmatic, and knowledgeable adult...can listen with "new ears" and appreciate them anew)-- and was looking for "something different." I wasn't going to find it on FM radio. At that point, I was basically unaware of college radio, and the FM station-- in those days, it was WNEW-- was frustrating to listen to. "Stairway to Heaven" and "Freebird" were played constantly, almost as if the whole process of listening was a religious ritual and we were expected to bow down before the altar of Zeppelin and Skynyrd. New groups like the Ramones or older groups like the Velvet Underground or the Stooges were never going to be played. Ever. And if you didn't like it? Buy a record player, chump... Which is not to say that FM didn't leave certain impressions that still resonate in my memory. I can remember waking up to face another torturous school day, and hearing Allison Steele aka "the Nightbird" signing off to the background sound of cymbals, flute, kalimba, and God knows what else. I can't remember what pretentiously "witchy" things she used to say to bid "goodnight" to her regular listeners or "good morning" to groggy malcontents like me, but I think Stevie Nicks would have approved. I desperately wanted to hear that band I had read so much about-- the Sex Pistols. Their singles were available nowhere (at least nowhere in my neck of the NJ woods), but...believe it or not...I heard them first on FM radio-- Scott Muni's show, to be exact. His voice dripping with condescension and sarcasm, he said, "Well, you've heard about them, and if you wanna actually hear them, well...here they are..." before playing "God Save The Queen," which made me an immediate entranced fan (although, in my old age, I think my teenage hero John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten has transformed over the decades into a total talentless a**hole). As far as I know, WNEW is long gone, and now we have...Q104.3. I won't say its made me long for the WNEW days, but it does have me quickly grasping for the dial as I do my channel surf in order to change the channel to...well, almost anything else. If you're lucky, you'll hear a song from the past...a "classic"...that actually still retains that status. "Dream On." "Don't Fear the Reaper." "Ziggy Stardust." "Strange Days." Even "Stairway to Heaven" or "Freebird" sound refreshing now, if you happen to catch it. You have to be lucky. Most times, you're going to hear Bon Jovi. Or Lover Boy (Lover Boy!?! Yep.). Aerosmith "hits" put out long after they gave up drugs and sank down into the swamp of puerile mediocrity even as they raked in tons of money. Journey. Eddie Money. Queen (talented but I'm not a fan). No Bob Dylan (I think I'd stroke out if they happened to play "George Jackson"), but you'll hear a lot of Billy Joel. A lot. The "jocks" are relentlessly upbeat and positive (sorta like the "Yelp Elite"). Ian O'Malley sounds like he gargles every morning with small rocks, and has nothing but good things to say about...EVERYBODY! Carol Miller sounds like she has adenoidal issues, talking with rote enthusiasm about the Dep Leppard tickets they're promoting or yet another contest before playing an "oldie but goodie"..."Eye of the Tiger." They'll play the Clash (although it'll be a consumer-friendly hit like "Rock the Casbah"; you're never going to hear "I'm So Bored With the USA"). They do play the Ramones too now. "I Wanna Be Sedated" or...if they're feeling really "wild and crazy"..."Blitzkrieg Bop." (No "Carbona Not Glue") Stooges? Well, you might hear Iggy...solo...doing "China Girl" or "Candy" but don't hold your breath waiting to hear "Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell' or "Death Trip." (And...an aside...I love Iggy, but it's time to put the shirt back on. He looks like a melting candle now.) No Stooges, no Velvets, no Dolls, no MC5. No Mother Love Bone either. Nirvana or maybe Red Hot Chili Peppers...that's about as "outside the box" as it's going to get. If you want "outside the box," tune in to WFMU or WPRB. And God help you if you stumble into a block of their commercials. They run without interruption for nearly a half hour. I will sometimes pause at Q1043 as I channel surf, hoping I might stumble onto one of those old songs that I liked. My hopes are almost never realized. Another Billy Joel song, or another block of commercials, and I move on. There are only so many hours in a lifetime. I can almost hear the spirits of Allison Steele and Scott Muni saying with malicious glee, "Sure, you didn't like us way back when, but how do you like your FM Classic Radio now, punk!? Maybe worshipping before the altar of Jimmy Page or Ronnie Van Zant or Pete Townsend wasn't such a bad thing after all!"
