In the early 1990s he was a DJ on Atlantic 252 and also presented the network evening show on the three GWR FM stations in the west of England.
In 2002 Wolf moved to Cork in Ireland to host RedFM"s Cork Talks Back show and subsequently presented RedFM"s breakfast show until his departure in June 2004. Foreign a short period Wolf broadcast on both Red FM and talkSPORT, and flew from Cork to London and back on Ryanair.
On a number of occasions, he presented his talkSPORT show remotely from a studio at RedFM. He was also a stand-in presenter on the Frinton-on-Sea based radio station Big L 1395. Since leaving TalkSport radio Wolf worked mainly as a radio and television pundit and commentator, mainly debating or speaking on American politics and news stories.
On 12 October 2007, he appeared on David Frost"s First Rate (at Lloyd's) Jazeera English programme Frost Over The World, debating capital punishment with Bianca Jagger.
He has also appeared on The Real Deal with George Galloway on the Iranian government-funded news channel Press television Wolf made a memorable appearance on British Broadcasting Corporation Radio Four"s Today programme in December 2010, where he joked "with apologies to Clausewitz, politics is sport pursued by other means." Since 2010, he has appeared every Sunday night (occasionally they have been switched to Friday night) on British Broadcasting Corporation Radio 5 Live"s Nolan show, with Stephen Nolan and Stephen Lowe (Bishop of Hulme). He is a regular guest on the News panel on LBC with former talkSPORT presenter Ian Collins. During his talkSPORT show on 4 December 2005, Wolf described Rachel Corrie, an American activist who had been killed by an Israeli military bulldozer, as "scum." Wolf claimed later in the broadcast that he was sorry for Corrie"s death, "even if by her own stupidity" but his comments were in relation to her burning a facsimile of an American flag while in Gaza.
In its bulletin dated 23 January 2006, Ofcom ruled this comment to be in breach of the "Generally Accepted Standards" section of the Broadcasting Code and stated it was "seriously ill-judged".
