The world’s largest podcast conference . . . apologized Thursday for the presence of a conservative podcaster. . . . The Podcast Movement apologized for Daily Wire co-founder . . . Ben Shapiro being at the conference, saying “we take full responsibility for the harm done by his presence.”
The Daily Wire, which is a conservative news website and media company, did have a booth near the PM22 expo area. . . . The conference did not provide anymore details about what happened while Shapiro was there.
Podcast Movement provided a follow-up Tweet that said:
“There’s no way around it: We agreed to sell The Daily Wire a first-time booth based on the company’s large presence in podcasting. The weight of that decision is now painfully clear. Shapiro is a co-founder. A drop-in, however unlikely, should have been considered a possibility.”
Later in the thread, Podcast Movement also tweeted, “The pain caused by this one will always stick with us. We promise that sponsors will be more carefully considered moving forward.”
