Overview

• Spotify restored new episodes of WarRoom on June 2 after a “constructive dialogue” between the platform and Bannon’s team
• The show was originally suspended in November 2020 when Bannon suggested placing heads of public officials on pikes, comments he says were metaphorical
• Bannon maintains that the podcast’s format and hard-hitting tone are unchanged and continues to produce four hours of programming six days a week
• He is using his return to renew calls for breaking up Amazon, Facebook, Twitter and Google to safeguard free speech
• WarRoom devotes significant airtime to international nationalist movements in Hungary, Poland and Romania, amplifying its reach on a global platform
