Trump launches ‘podcast row’ to give further White House access to new media

On Thursday, a number of podcasters, including Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec, the Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles, and many others set up at the White House to host their respective shows.

In a post on X, the White House announced, “Welcome to podcast row at the White House. We are so proud to welcome new media voices and podcasters from around the country who have massive audiences and are talking to everyday Americans like you.”

“This is what it's all about, new media, new voices and getting the President's message out to all Americans these podcasters are speaking to administration officials, Cabinet secretaries, White House officials, and yes, we are having a lot of fun,” the video added.

Posobiec told The Post Millennial of his experience at podcast row earlier this week, "The White House podcast Row was an honor. The Trump Admin is completely embracing new media and bringing in audiences that are interested in direct reporting without the legacy media distortions."

The media section is dedicated to podcasters who can stream live as well as record directly from the White House. This comes as the Trump White House has emphasized making room for new media at the White House, and giving access to many different media organizations and influencers.

Part of that has been welcoming new media to the White House press briefings. During the first White House press briefing with Karoline Leavitt in January, the press secretary said that reporters, TikTokers, and more would be able to get access by filling out a form for new media going to the White House.

Additionally, the White House vowed to restore press passes for 440 reporters that had them taken away by the Biden administration. Additionally, the White House has said that the administration will determine the press pool, and not the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA).

At the time of the announcement for the WHCA, Leavitt said, "For decades, a group of DC-based journalists, the White House Correspondents Association, has long dictated which journalists get to ask questions of the President of the United States in these most intimate spaces. Not anymore.”

"I am proud to announce," she continued, "that we are going to give the power back to the people who read your papers, who watch your television shows and who listen to your radio stations. Moving forward, the White House press pool will be determined by the White House press team.”
