    Dude is the real deal. He has his schtick. But he’s intelligent and what radio is all about. They all suck compared to Ben

  • Not as good as it used to be.

    The show has declined a lot. IHeart canned Eddie Garcia, they moved Danny G off the show and now have this LeReina who never stops interrupting the show with cringe content. The woke management thought a late night guys show would want this, we do not.

    Scott Shapiro should be fired for this.

  • Exceptional

    Ben Maller possesses the most creative mind in radio. His endless stream of wit and mind bending analogies strains the English language to the breaking point. His merry band of “Maller militia” arrive fully baked from a Fellini movie. Together they make the Baba ganoush. Tune in for a taste.
