Thank you for riding with The Breakfast Club!”
“A Billion Plus downloads of The Breakfast Club podcast is proof that radio continues to evolve,” Charlamagne Tha God said. “The Breakfast Club started on the radio, but we grew by meeting our audience wherever they are: not just on podcast, YouTube, and social media but in real life, having real conversations. Whether we're talking hip hop, politics, or mental health, we've never been afraid to embrace the real issues that matter to the Black Community and America as a whole. Gratitude to our listeners!"
The World's Most Dangerous Morning Radio Show launched in 2010 on Power 105.1 in New York and quickly became a must-stop destination for musicians, entertainers, politicians, and the most talked-about cultural figures of the moment.

The show has featured numerous guests over the years, including former President Barack Obama, former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, JAY-Z, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, Kevin Hart, Snoop Dogg, Future, 50 Cent, Lizzo, Will Smith, Alicia Keys and many more.
“Reaching this incredible milestone is the direct result of the unique personal connection Charlamagne, Envy and Jess have with their dedicated listeners, who know they’ll always get the realest of real when they tune in,” Thea Mitchem, Executive Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia said. “This show is a cultural force that has captivated audiences for nearly 15 years, and it’s only getting bigger and bolder.”
