Sean Hannity takes aim at Tucker Carlson with new podcast

He described the venture as “an opportunity to slow down and have those conversations, no scripts, no talking points, just real discussions with people who have something meaningful to say.”

Although Hannity, 64, also plans to continue his Fox TV show Hannity and radio show, the biweekly podcast will replace Hannity, his streaming series on Fox Nation, sources said.

Media insiders believe Hannity’s podcast will take on Carlson’s show and challenge it for listeners and guests — even though Fox News recently closed a deal to buy Red Seat Ventures, which manages sales and provides other support to independent podcasters, including Tucker.

“It doesn’t matter – Sean is going after him,” the source said. “He sees how successful Tucker has been with the podcast, and he’s licking his teeth at the idea of ​​peeling away some of those listeners.”
