Sean Hannity, the longtime host of Fox News’ Hannity, will launch a twice-weekly podcast, “Hang Out with Sean Hannity,” on March 3, Fox News Media announced Tuesday.
The podcast, which will feature long-form interviews, will be available on YouTube, Spotify, and other platforms, according to a statement released by the network. Hannity described the latest format as an opportunity for “real discussions with people who have something meaningful to say,” free from the constraints of scripting and commercial breaks.
“I’ve always been interested in how people got to where they are. The risks they took, the failures they pushed through, and the lessons that don’t build it on TV,” Hannity said in a statement. “This podcast is a chance to slow down and have those conversations, no scripts, no talking points.”
The podcast will be recorded from a new set in Florida, which Hannity referred to as his “man cave.” Guests will come from a variety of fields, including politics, business, culture, and sports. Fox News Media indicated that content from the podcast may occasionally appear on Hannity’s primetime television program.
The launch of “Hang Out with Sean Hannity” comes as cable news organizations increasingly invest in podcasting, seeking to reach audiences migrating to streaming platforms and independent media. Hannity’s entry into the podcasting space makes him the latest high-profile Fox News personality to do so, joining Will Cain, Tyrus, and others who already host podcasts through the network’s new media division. Fox News Media also carries podcasts from conservative commentators, including the group Ruthless and Riley Gaines.
Hannity will continue to host both his primetime show on Fox News and his nationally syndicated radio program. But, the launch of the podcast will mark the end of his interview series, Sean, on Fox Nation.
