Dan Bongino’s media company is adding another familiar conservative voice. Shawn Farash will launch a new daily live podcast next month.
What We Know: Shawn Farash will join Silverloch Media, the company owned by Dan and Paula Bongino, to host Shawn Farash Live. The program debuts Monday, August 17th, and will stream live each weekday at 1 PM ET. Farash has built a large online following through his political commentary and comedy while also serving as a regular fill-in host at news/talk radio stations, including 1210 WPHT in Philadelphia. He’ll continue expanding his media presence with the new daily show, giving Silverloch Media another original program as the company grows its digital content portfolio.
What They Said: “It’s not about me. It’s about giving a pathway to other people like a pathway was given to me. I’m going to tell you something. I would not be here, and this is categorically true, although these two will not accept any credit because they’re very humble about it. Without Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, and I’ll throw in Glenn Beck, too — because Glenn helped me a lot early — I wouldn’t be here. I’ve been doing this 10 years. They blazed the path for me. They let me guest host their shows. And they had me on as a guest when nobody knew me from Adam. They’re like, ‘Who’s this Dan Bon Jovi guy? He’s not nearly as good looking as Bon Jovi. He doesn’t have enough of his money. He’s not as talented either.’ They had me on.” -Dan Bongino
What Remains Unclear: Silverloch Media hasn’t shared additional details about the show’s format or any planned guests. It’s also unknown whether Farash’s existing podcast schedule will change after the new show launches.
What It Means: The addition of Farash signals Silverloch Media’s continued investment in developing personalities beyond Bongino himself. Moreover, Farash brings experience in both digital media and news/talk radio, giving the company a host with an established audience across multiple platforms. His hiring also reflects the growing connection between podcasting and traditional talk radio as personalities increasingly build audiences in both spaces.
