Bennett has been Philly’s afternoon soundtrack for over 13 years, bringing laughs, feel-good energy, and just the right amount of sarcasm to The NEW 96.5
A longtime voice in the city, Bennett is known not only for his humor and relatable conversation, but also for making a real impact in the community. For the past 10 years, he’s hosted his weekly pet adoption segment, “Bennett’s Buddies,” helping countless animals find their forever homes.
Off the air, Bennett is a proud husband to Colleena and dad to his five-year-old daughter Keira, usually spending weekends on family adventures, trying new restaurants, squeezing in a workout… and somehow always humming a Moana song.
Bennett’s love for Philly runs deep — even in beer form. He partnered with Philadelphia Brewing Company to create “Beuke’s Pale Ale,” named after his soul dog, Beuke, as a tribute that continues to mean the world to him.
Over the years, Bennett has also had the chance to sit down with some of the biggest names in music and entertainment, interviewing artists like Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Elton John, Jimmy Fallon, and more of your favorites.
Whether you’re driving home, running errands, or just need a little lift in your day, Bennett is here to keep Philly afternoons fun, real, and feel-good.
