Bob was heard daily on the Kidd Chris morning show on WYSP in Philadelphia as an on-air guest, until they were fired in May 2008. He also opened a weekend comedy club in Levittown, Pennsylvania and three other comedy clubs in Easton, Florida.

Bob hosted two radio shows. One was on WNJC 1360 AM in the Philadelphia area, Rising with The Reverend Bob Levy (with co-hosts Will Bozarth and John Kensil). The other was on WUFC 1510 AM in the Boston area, The Bob Levy Show (with co-host Joe Conte). Both stations have changed formats and no longer air the shows. Bob also produced podcasts of his shows for Radio Misfit.

Bob quit the Miserable Men in April 2010 after disputes with channel management over plug placement during The Howard Stern Show.

Bob was interviewed by the Bucks County Courier Times in October 2011 and stated that he is contemplating retirement in January 2012, due to waning interest in so-called “Benefit Comedy,” wherein a comedian will perform for small group of people (often for free) in order to raise money for obscure people/causes.
