He went on to say that the podcast would be continuing with the “amazing work” they are doing.

The controversial radio personality was one of the first people to jumped on the podcast bandwagon when he started “CliffCentral.com” in 2014.
According to a report by ItWeb, during lockdown and post, “CliffCentral.com's” statistics have grown substantially.
“When we started ‘CliffCentral.com’ in 2014, hardly anyone even knew what a podcast was. Now, millions of downloads later, we’re converting more and more people every day, because podcasting is convenient, easily accessible, and it goes where mainstream radio cannot – both in terms of depth of discussion and agenda,” he told the publication.
