Levin will continue to alternate between hemming and hawing about how we're in a post-constitutional republic and waxing poetic about the founding fathers while ignoring every goddamn action they took or advice they gave.
I've heard them both say on numerous occasions that if they day comes that the radio side of their show goes away, they're more than happy to continue with podcast only. Hopefully they have the stones to go through with it, Cumulus needs these guys more than the other way around.
They need to look at how No Agenda set up. No ads, not hosted officially on any big tech site, 100% listener supported through donations, and they provide the feed, not some podcast "network" that will shriek like a child at the first sign of trouble and drop them. They can't be deplatformed, they are the platform.
Not really sure, given the platform. After all, who else listens to terrestrial radio these days? It's not like when I was a kid, where the Internet was unknown to the public, and MTV was considered the new, sweet hotness.
In 1988 (when I bought and rebuilt my very first car), radio w/ a cassette player was considered top-shelf, and everyone listened to the radio during their commute.
In 1998, Rush Limbaugh on AM radio owned the shit, hands-down. He and Art Bell were top dogs in a medium that was otherwise obviously dying (in-car CD players were decimating the pop radio stations by this time).
Fast-forward to 2018, when I bought the truck I drive now. I can count on one hand with fingers to spare the number of times I even bothered to tune into AM or FM radio. Like the majority of folks, it's either SiriusXM, or a shuffle-thon from the 100+GB of .mp3 tunes I have on a geek stick jammed into the USB/Media port.
Today? With few people commuting because of the 'coof, the biggest reason for anyone to listen to terrestrial radio went away, and the industry is hurting pretty fucking hard.
So... unless Cumulus owns SiriusXM (which has IIRC a similar-sized, if not larger audience), it's not like the loss of the AM platforms will hurt the likes of Levin and Bongino too much.
Now the loss of heavy hitters like Levin and Bongino (and even Hannity) will definitely strike Cumulus pretty hard.
Cumulus doesn't own Sirius. Thankfully. Sirius would fire all of them, if they did, they are not exactly right-friendly. One bitch from Howard, and they're gone.
Bongino and Levin have some real pondering to do.

"I-I-it's an outrage, but, but violence never does any good!" -Mark GoodBoyPoints Levin
All while screaming in that nasally voice.
Levin will do what is good for Levin. Lets stop pretending he is some voice crying in the wilderness.
SHOCKING! (not really shocking)
Talkers gonna talk
Levin
🤔
so is Sasha Baron Cohen related?

In the morning, and thank you for your courage
Best podcast in the universe
According to the New York Times!
Yep. They've been on the verge of going under for years.
They don't, and they won't. They'll say "don't forget to listen to our podcast for extra blah blah that you won't hear here."
Dan said these people are NOT his boss.
Lol let me know when he quits Fox. By the way, Dan has disavowed us.
They can’t do much except take it. Cumulus media is another example of too much power in the hands of the few.

Bongino said "it's complicated" when Fox called Arizona early. He then immediately disavowed the January 6th mostly peaceful protesters.
Gotta keep Faux News checks coming in I guess. Don't support his show. He's not even a conservative. He lies about that.
