Philly sports radio is getting the band back together. Sean Brace is returning to 97.5 The Fanatic (WPEN) starting Monday, March 9, where he’ll co-host the midday slot from 10 AM to 2 PM with Jon Marks — reuniting the pair who previously helmed the popular “Jon & Sean Show” from 2013 to 2015.
Brace was with “The Fanatic” from 2006 to 2015. From August 2019 to 2025, he had been serving as PD and afternoon host at iHeartMedia’s sports station “1480 The Gambler” WDAS-AM which featured programming from Fox Sports Radio.
Marks made his own return to The Fanatic in September 2025 after a long run across town at SportsRadio 94 WIP, where he co-hosted “Marks and Reese” with Ike Reese before later hosting the syndicated “Jon Marks Show” on CBS Sports Radio. Brace, like Marks, is headed back to where it all started.
Following Brace’s exit from The Gambler in 2025, we sent some encouraging words his way.
Brace joined Marks as a part time co-host on the station, but wasn’t officially a part of the station until he landed a weekly Saturday show in January.
