It provides the icon with a much wider playing field going way beyond politics where he can display his natural conversational skills, warmth, and charisma across the spectrum of pop culture. Marvelous!”

Regarding this latest career development, Hannity tells TALKERS, “Having reached a couple of milestones this year, 30 years at FOX, my 25th anniversary in radio syndication, has simply resulted in a gratitude and gratefulness to be so blessed to do what I love to do every day. Now that I’ve added the podcast, which is completely different than both the radio and TV shows, it has simply added a new passion in my life. I love the ability to talk about faith, the mysteries of life and the universe, and so much more. I’m grateful, most of all, to the people that give me this special gift every day. My viewers and listeners. They encourage me to always want to exceed expectations and to always do my best.  It is one of the most rewarding things I do.”

Sean Hannity’s new FOX News Media-produced podcast, “Hang Out with Sean Hannity,” debuts at 7:00 am tomorrow (3/10) and in the first episode, Hannity talks with ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith (pictured above). In a piece by Axios, it’s revealed that guests soon to appear on the program include: Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.), former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, and Team USA hockey gold medalist Matt Tkachuk. Hannity tells Axios, “This show isn’t about chasing the news cycle – it’s about the people living inside it. The podcast will be curious, irreverent and a lot less buttoned-up. No countdown clocks, no talking points. He adds, “I started in radio on a tiny campus station that no one listened to – now we’re on more than 750 stations nationwide. That didn’t happen overnight, and this podcast won’t either. But I’ve learned that if you build something honest and human, people eventually find it.”
