1210 WPHT host Rich Zeoli touted his podcast success as his return to afternoons nears its first anniversary.
To open an hour of The Rich Zeoli Show, he noted that the show is close to surpassing 2 million downloads since returning to afternoons last October.
The Philadelphia-based host then joked that of those nearly 2 million downloads, 170 have come from Somalia.
“Were huge in Somalia. The pirates love us,” the ever-sarcastic host said. “If you’re listening in Somalia, would you please call the show and let us know?”
Zeoli returned to afternoons in October 2022, replacing The Sean Hannity Show in the station’s lineup. The move brought local programming to 1210 WPHT from 6:00 AM-7:00 PM. He was replaced in morning drive by Nick Kayal.
