Benny on the Radio with Benny Panella

At 26 years old, Benny Panella has already accomplished a lot in his radio career.

Panella, not only works as an on-air personality for iHeartRadio Delaware but also hosts the country music show "Nashville's Next," in addition to the Philadelphia sports podcast, "The Pat and Benny Show.”

Benny has been able to balance these roles while also working on the sales side of the medium.

In this episode, part one of a two-part interview, Panella and host Earl Holland discuss how Benny first got interested in radio at a young age, his thoughts on the future of the medium, and much more.

Benny will also discuss his wrestling fandom and what’s needed to revitalize a stale industry.
