Brian Stelter has announced the end of his involvement with the Inside the Hive podcast from Vanity Fair.
Stelter’s exit from the show isn’t unexpected. Earlier this year, he re-joined CNN after his high-profile 2022 exit when the network was under the direction of Chris Licht. He returned to CNN after media reporter Oliver Darcy departed to launch his Status News digital media entity.
Brian Stelter joined Vanity Fair in April 2023 to cover the Fox News defamation lawsuit brought forth by Dominion Voting Systems. It then evolved into a podcast covering the intersection of news and politics.
“I want to say thank you for tuning in. This is officially my last episode hosting the show for Vanity Fair,” Stelter said to begin the final episode of 2024. “Now that I’ve returned to CNN full-time as their chief media analyst, it has been such a pleasure serving as your host since the spring of 2023, when I signed on to cover the Dominion defamation lawsuit against Fox News.
“One thing led to another and it’s been such an honor to keep hosting here since. Every week, I learned something new from the guests here at the table, and I hope you did as well.”
Stelter added that Vanity Fair will continue the podcast “to cover Trump 2.0”, with more information available in early 2025.
