Since launching just over a year ago, The Six Pack has grown tremendously in both listenership and influence, with press mentions in New York Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, and Metrosource Magazine. Guests have included Congressman Barney Frank, 'The View's' Joy Behar, CNN's Soledad O'Brien, Bravo's Andy Cohen and Bethenny Frankel, and comedians Sandra Bernhard and Jackie Mason.
"In just over a year The Six Pack has grown from an independent podcast to a full-on radio show and web site with an international audience,” said Ben Harvey, who grew up in Philadelphia and earned his on-air stripes at Howard Stern’s flagship radio station K-Rock. “We're just two guys living in New York who are doing our best to decipher what it means to be gay in 2010. That resonates with a lot of people out there, including advertisers who have begun to see us as a new mouthpiece to the gay market."
“By just talking about the things we care about, and to people we're interested in, we've really hit on something that's been sorely lacking in the gay media,” said Dave Rubin, a comedian from Long Island who has appeared on 'The Joy Behar Show.' “50 episodes in and we have listeners from literally around the world. We even got an email from a guy in Iran, even though Ahmadinejad says there are no gay people there. I mean that's really something."
