LOS ANGELES, February 4, 2025 – FOX Sports Radio’s The Paulie and Tony Fusco Show was awarded the 2025 Sports Podcast Award for “Best Sports Comedy” for the second year in a row. Created by The Sports Podcast Group, the annual podcast awards aim to celebrate talented creators around the world and unite the sports podcast community. Check out the full list of winners HERE.

Distributed by iHeartPodcasts and FOX Sports Radio (FSR), a division of Premiere Sports Network providing 24/7 live programming, The Paulie and Tony Fusco Show is a satire of sports talk radio and “hot take” media personalities. It is written, produced and hosted by veteran sports talk producers Andrew Samson and Sharief Ali, who play two Philadelphia Eagles fans who claim to have the “smartest” sports takes, when in reality, their takes are terrible. They also welcome notable guests from across the sports world, only to abruptly kick them off the show.

“We told those fools that this show is NOT a comedy and yet they gave us this award again,” said Paulie and Tony Fusco in a joint statement. “But since we work in the podcast industry and have what some might call a ‘limited marketing budget,’ we will accept any form of free promotion.”

“Wait, these guys still have a show?” joked Scott Shapiro, FOX Sports Radio Senior Vice President of Sports Programming. “I told our engineers to turn off the feed months ago thinking no one would notice.  Let’s just say this is the last time these clowns win an award.” 

The Paulie and Tony Fusco Show is distributed by iHeartPodcasts, with new episodes available every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard. Visit iHeart.com/apps to download iHeartRadio and listen on your favorite device.
