Apple Podcasts: Glenn Beck Is Back After A Trademark Dispute

UPDATED: Episodes of Glenn Beck’s show were restored on Apple Podcasts more than five hours after his radio show, “The Glenn Beck Program,” was removed from the platform earlier Wednesday.

Reached for comment, an Apple spokesman told Variety that “The Glenn Beck Program” was removed from Apple Podcasts because of a trademark dispute involving Beck’s podcast and that the issue has since been resolved. The Apple rep declined to provide details on what the trademark dispute was about.

Beck shared in an update on X (aka Twitter) that while Apple restored episodes of his podcast he still did not “have clear answers as to why this happened. Hope to have an update for you tomorrow on radio.” Currently, Apple Podcasts lists 1,914 episodes of “The Glenn Beck Program” available.

On Wednesday, Premiere radio host Glenn Beck said in a video posted on social media that his podcast “The Glenn Beck Program” was removed from Apple Podcasts.

Reportedly, Apple Podcasts removed all 1,000+ episodes of the show.

In the video posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, Beck said he received a message from the Apple Podcast team saying, “We found an issue with your show, The Glenn Beck Program, which must be resolved before it’s available on Apple podcasts. Your show has been removed from Apple Podcasts.”

Beck said he received a link to click for more details about removal. When Beck clicked the link, he said there wasn’t a reason given for the removal of his podcast.

The nationally syndicated radio host also said his podcast hadn’t received any previous strikes against it and called the removal of the program “crazy.”

A search for Beck’s podcast on Apple Podcasts didn’t yield results for his show as of Wednesday afternoon.

Beck’s podcast remains available on Spotify, Blaze TV, Stitcher and other podcast apps. On YouTube, Beck has 1.15 million subscribers and reportedly millions of listeners on Apple Podcasts.
