Megyn Kelly Launches Podcast Network

Podcast and former Fox News and NBC journalist Megyn Kelly has launched her own podcast network called MK Media. 

The move expands her presence in the growing news and politics creator ecosystem, particularly among right-leaning voices dominating the podcasting space. The announcement was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, highlighting Kelly’s transition from traditional cable TV to a digital media mogul.

MK Media is a video and audio podcast network designed to collaborate with creators and journalists in news and entertainment. The initial lineup features three shows hosted by notable figures: journalist Mark Halperin (known for his work with 2Way and past controversies at NBC), Daily Mail culture columnist Maureen Callahan, and influencer-political commentator Link Lauren (a former aide to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.). Kelly has promised additional talent announcements, suggesting plans to diversify beyond news into other genres. The network builds on the success of her existing show, The Megyn Kelly Show, which she started in 2020, shifted to a live SiriusXM radio format in 2021, and expanded with a YouTube video version that now boasts 3.5 million subscribers and hundreds of millions of monthly views.

Kelly framed the launch as a mission to amplify “sane, reasonable, good-humored people” in an independent media landscape free from corporate constraints. “I’m thrilled to launch MK Media and to use our platform to help [these voices] build their own followings in this new media space,” she said, expressing enthusiasm for her inaugural trio of hosts. The venture aligns with a broader trend of top podcast talent—like Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network or Bill Maher’s Club Random—leveraging their platforms to incubate new shows, with YouTube’s dominance in video podcasting playing a key role.
