Bongino Launches New Media Company As He Exits Radio Show & Podcast.

Dan Bongino will end his podcast and radio show next month as he takes a job in the Trump administration, but he will still have a hand in audio. Bongino and his wife, Paula, have launched the media production company Silverloch, which will debut with their weekday morning podcast Bongino Report Early Editon, hosted by Evita Duffy-Alfonso, and add a new daily evening podcast called Nightly Scroll. It will be hosted by Haley Caronia, a veteran of conservative outlets including Fox News, OutKick, and Newsmax.

“We fought a lot of tough battles together, and we won some and lost some, but we've been through a lot, and I'm not going to leave you without high quality content,” Bongino told listeners Wednesday. He said they had always planned to transition from making their content that revolved around him, and they are taking the opportunity to make Silverloch the new umbrella brand for all of their productions. “We're setting the foundation for something that'll last,” he said.

The changes come after President Trump announced Sunday that Bongino will serve as the new Deputy Director of the FBI. The move means The Dan Bongino Show will end production on Friday, March 14.

In a social media post, Trump noted Bongino is “now one of the most successful podcasters in the country, something he is willing and prepared to give up in order to serve.” Podtrac says Bongino’s podcast was the seventh most listened-to podcast among the publishers it tracks during January.

The Dan Bongino Podcast launched in 2017 and in May 2021 the host inked a deal to leverage the podcast as a midday syndicated talk show for Westwood One. The number of stations that aired the show has tripled since it launched, growing to more than 350. Bongino inked a new three-year deal with Cumulus Media in December 2023.

Cumulus has not named a successor for his radio show. But it appears one option will be to pick up the new incarnation of The Dan Bongino Show. “These shows will continue. We are going to get a guest host,” he said, although he declined to identify who they have lined up.

Silverloch describes itself as a copy that is focused on “shaping culture” with a foundation rooted in faith, freedom, and a conservative viewpoint. “We believe in bold storytelling, fearless journalism, and content that challenges the status quo,” its website says. “Politics is downstream of culture. Culture shapes everything—and that is our goal,” Bongino said.

With Bongino’s new role at the FBI, Paula Bongino is taking on the new role as President of Silverloch. “The new company will be divorcing itself for me and my business interests because lobbyist ethics rules,” he added.
