In the wake of Trump’s return to the White House, the political media landscape has undergone a seismic shift—and even some of the biggest left-leaning voices in podcasting are moving to the right. Joe Rogan, once a freewheeling centrist, has cemented himself as the modern-day Rush Limbaugh, pushing conservative narratives to his massive audience. Destiny, a longtime progressive debater, finds himself embroiled in a sex scandal while also grappling with the shifting tides of online discourse. Even historically leftist platforms like The Young Turks are seemingly going towards the MAGA grift.
Political operative Matt Dearing joins the discussion to dissect the changing media ecosystem and what it means for the future of American politics. Are we witnessing a permanent rightward realignment? Why are so many political influencers abandoning progressivism? And how does this all shape the political battles to come?
Tune in for a no-holds-barred conversation on the rise of conservative media, the decline of left-wing dominance in digital spaces, and the future of political podcasting in a post-Trump America.
