On Thursday, March 27, The White House launched its revolutionary new media gateway called "Podcast Row," embracing dozens of well-known political podcasters.

"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's 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 we are having a lot of fun," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a formal White House greeting. 

"I bet you the people in that room have a lot more viewers than CNN and the legacy media. We are proud to welcome them to the White House," Leavitt said in another formal White House greeting. 

On the heels of Thursday's inaugural Podcast Row event, emerging superstar Executive Editor and White House Correspondent for Steve Bannon's War Room podcast, Natalie Winters, thanked the president and his press secretary for inviting her to Podcast Row, teasing that she had found her legacy media-free safe space. 

The Gateway Pundit recently reported that the White House continues to make adjustments in kind with the evolving media landscape by relinquishing the far-left White House Correspondents' Association's iron grip over the White House Press Briefing Room seating chart.

Now, the White House will itself determine the Press Briefing Room seating chart – along with the press pool rotation in the Oval Office, Air Force One, and further distinguished locations.

Evidently, recent polling data suggests that the White House Correspondents' Association has proven itself unfit to execute frontline journalistic duty for the American public in 2025, which no longer favors the dying mainstream media pool pushed by this Association.

In its wake, a revolutionary New Media headlined by podcasters have earned the right to serve as America's chief political news correspondents.

Any preliminary research concerning the viral popularity of podcasts in America likely underestimates the ever-increasing podcast listenership. Still, the Pew Research Center determined in 2023 that 49% of Americans had listened to podcasts during the previous year.
