What started as a local podcast in a sushi restaurant has evolved into a nationally syndicated talk radio sensation.

A Defining Moment: From Local Buzz to National Attention
For Verneuille, the moment he realized The Ryan Show FM was more than just a local podcast came unexpectedly. "We interviewed a controversial local politician after a town hall debate, and it became a spectacle. A crowd gathered, and major outlets like News 12 Long Island took notice," he recalls. "That’s when I knew we had something bigger than just a podcast. People were engaged, media was paying attention, and we were making an impact beyond our community."

The Evolution: Expanding to a Four-Hour Format
In 2025, The Ryan Show FM is taking a bold step by expanding to a four-hour format—a move designed to enhance the listening experience and broaden the show’s reach. "This shift allows us to focus on what we do best—curating deep, meaningful conversations," Verneuille explains. "With more time, we can feature more guests, explore a wider range of topics, and create a richer listening experience."
One of the core elements that sets The Ryan Show FM apart is its ability to blend humor, raw conversations, and expert insights seamlessly. "I’ve always approached the show with curiosity. I learn alongside the audience, which keeps the discussions authentic," he says. "The humor and entertainment come naturally, thanks to my personality and the unpredictable nature of our guests."

This year, the show is welcoming more recurring guests, including historian Joseph Hill and AI expert Dr. Natanya Wachtel, who bring unique perspectives to the conversation. "Having regular contributors adds so much depth," Verneuille says. "Joseph Hill is an endless fountain of knowledge, and Dr. Wachtel keeps us up to speed with AI, science, and tech."

Sports fans will also have something to look forward to. "I’m excited to have Greg Vaughn on for more baseball segments," he shares. "It’s going to be a huge addition to the show."
The YouTube Factor: Expanding Beyond Radio
Beyond traditional radio, The Ryan Show FM is making waves in the digital space. The show’s YouTube channel has become an essential extension, offering fans exclusive content, behind-the-scenes moments, and even micro-documentaries. "YouTube gives us creative freedom in a way radio can’t," Verneuille explains. "It’s a playground where we can push boundaries and experiment with storytelling."
While radio is the heart of The Ryan Show FM, Verneuille acknowledges that digital content is becoming just as vital. "The future of media is dynamic. People want content in multiple formats—audio, video, live streaming—and we’re adapting to that reality."
The Viral Moments That Shook the Internet

If there’s one thing The Ryan Show FM has learned, it’s that unpredictability fuels digital success. The show has had its fair share of viral moments, but one stands out. "The wildest reaction we ever received was when Aaron Carter—rest in peace—went viral after appearing on the show with Jake Paul’s chain in one hand and an AK-47 in the other," Verneuille recalls. "That moment exploded online and brought a ton of attention to us. It was unexpected, but that’s the nature of the internet—you never know what’s going to take off."
The Future of The Ryan Show FM
As The Ryan Show FM continues to evolve, Verneuille is focused on the bigger picture. "The future of media is becoming more human and relatable. It’s less about polished celebrity interviews and more about real, unfiltered conversations," he says. "That’s why people connect with our show—it’s a lifestyle show built around real experiences."

For those looking to break into the industry, Verneuille emphasizes the importance of risk-taking. "I walked away from a steady 9-to-5 nearly a decade ago to fully commit to my creative work," he says. "It’s not easy, and it requires sacrificing time and energy that most people aren’t willing to give. But if you want to create something unique, you have to take that leap."
With national syndication, an expanding digital empire, and a growing audience, The Ryan Show FM proves that authenticity, humor, and fearless conversation are the future of talk radio. https://theryanshow.net
