Granato & Raheel with Del: Recent Episodes
Granato & Raheel with Del
You really never know what you’ll hear when you listen to John Granato & Raheel Ramzanali. Sure you’ll probably hear some sports stories, maybe your tweets, or perhaps an original skit about a local football team voiced by terrible actors. What you won’t hear is anything like any other show in Houston (and likely the world, but at least within the continent of North America). Their producer, Del Olaleye, has the unenviable job of keeping the show on the rails while keeping his finger close to the censor button. Listen to Granato & Raheel with Del, weekday mornings at 9-11am on ESPN 97.5 FM or on demand at Podcast Arena.
