Batchelor's annual podcast downloads are in the millions and he's broadcast from many corners of the world, including New York, Jerusalem, Des Moines, Kazakhstan, Orlando, Manchester, Morocco, Boston, Taipei, Washington and Baghdad.
Cumulus Media New York VP/Market Manager Chad Lopez said, "The John Batchelor Show is a New York institution and the show has never sounded better."

Batchelor commented, "It's a joy and privilege to join again with WABC and Westwood One to carry on reporting to extremely well-informed listeners. I run as fast as I can to keep up on the radio and the podcast with all the can't-make-this-up news events rushing around the planet each day."
