Overview

  • Spotify reinstated WarRoom on June 2 following a temporary suspension in November 2020 after discussions between its team and the platform.
  • Bannon’s show was originally removed after he suggested beheading Anthony Fauci and Christopher Wray, remarks he now insists were metaphorical.
  • He says the podcast’s tone remains unchanged and continues to deliver four hours of programming six days a week from Washington, D.C.
  • Bannon uses the platform to call for breaking up Amazon, Facebook, Twitter and Google, describing big tech as “the most dangerous thing in the country.”
  • The reinstatement reflects a broader tech trend of reversing conservative suspensions, and the podcast now dedicates regular segments to populist movements in Hungary, Poland and Romania.
