what happened to dan bongino radio show
Dan Bongino’s radio show ended in March 2025 when he stepped away to join the Trump administration as deputy FBI director. It later returned in a new form as a podcast , not a traditional radio broadcast, with a relaunch announced for February 2026.
What changed
- The original Westwood One radio show wrapped up when Bongino left for the FBI role in 2025.
- After leaving the FBI, he said he was coming back to the microphone and restarting The Dan Bongino Show as a daily podcast.
- The relaunch was set to stream on Rumble, with audio available on podcast platforms.
Current status
The key point is that the show is no longer a regular radio show in the old format.
It’s now positioned as a podcast/video show, which is how Bongino is reaching listeners again.
Why people noticed
A lot of the buzz came from the abrupt switch: first the radio show ended, then Bongino moved into federal service, and now he’s back in media.
That made it look to many listeners like the show had vanished, when it was really paused and then reworked.
