Podcast Movement is an organization that calls themselves “the world’s largest community of podcasters.” They claim to provide “news, resources, and the best events in podcasting.” One of their events is taking place right now in Dallas, where many different podcasters are able to gather at an expo to network, meet fans, and spread the word about their podcasts with informational booths for publicity.
The Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro’s extremely successful conservative media company, has a number of extremely popular podcasters and chart-topping podcasts, so it made sense for them to attend this event. But what the Podcast Movement didn’t count on was Ben Shapiro himself showing up to The Daily Wire booth. Apparently, his mere presence at the podcasting event was enough to sufficiently trigger snowflakes to an extent that warranted an official apology by Podcast Movement themselves. Here’s their groveling and absolutely absurd apology for daring to allow an extremely successful podcaster to attend a podcasting event when his podcast doesn’t fit their preferred narrative:
Hi folks, we owe you an apology before sessions kick off for the day. Yesterday afternoon, Ben Shapiro briefly visited the PM22 expo area near The Daily Wire booth. Though he was not registered or expected, we take full responsibility for the harm done by his presence.

There’s no way around it: We agreed to sell The Daily Wire a first-time booth based on the company’s large presence in podcasting. The weight of that decision is now painfully clear. Shapiro is a co-founder. A drop-in, however unlikely, should have been considered a possibility.

Those of you who called this “unacceptable” are right. In 9 wonderful years growing and celebrating this medium, PM has made mistakes. The pain caused by this one will always stick with us. We promise that sponsors will be more carefully considered moving forward.

Just to clarify, no TDW representatives were scheduled to appear on panels, and Shapiro remained in the common space and did not have a badge. If you have questions, we’re here to talk. Thank you for reading, and we hope you’ll continue to join us from here on out.

After reading that gushing apology about them taking “full responsibility for the harm done by his presence” and “the pain caused” by this “unacceptable” mistake, you might be led to believe that Ben Shapiro did something outrageously offensive or horrifying. But you’d be wrong. He literally just showed up. He just stopped by the booth for a bit, took some pictures with some fans, and waved. But apparently, that’s all it took to trigger sensitive leftists into forcing an apology. And they even promised that attendees “will be more carefully considered moving forward,” which is code for their intention to prevent conservative voices from attending their events in case someone doesn’t like what they might have said on their podcast.
Here’s an incredible video The Daily Wire put together in response to this outrageously unnecessary apology by Podcast Movement.

The mild-mannered show of obvious public support for this overtly religious conservative with all his icky morals, values, & principles is LITERALLY violence to everyone who disagrees with him. This monster must be stopped before his dangerous morality spreads! At least, that’s what the woke mob wants you to believe.
Apparently, Tal, a They/Them audio fiction podcast producer from Long Beach, California, was offended by Ben Shapiro’s presence and complained on Twitter. Tal tweeted a picture of Ben Shapiro greeting enthusiastic fans and said, “Hey @PodcastMovement what the f*ck. As a trans person, as a queer person, as someone with a uterus, this does not make me feel welcome. This does not make me feel safe.” And that’s pretty much all it took for Podcast Movement to cave and grovel. It’s pathetic.

Do you remember what happened with Harry’s Razors? They also groveled and apologized to the woke mob for daring to advertise on The Daily Wire podcasts and website because some snowflakes complained that The Daily Wire caused psychological damage for having different opinions. And so Jeremy Boreing, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of The Daily Wire, launched a competing razor company called Jeremy’s Razors. I’m now anticipating Ben Shapiro’s imminent announcement that they’ll be hosting a podcasting expo of their own, which will likely be better attended than any expo Podcast Movement has ever hosted. Because that’s what The Daily Wire does. They fight back.

I have to laugh I mean looking at the pictures the event was just soooo crowded LMFAO at the shoulder to shoulder crowds Ben was the biggest attraction there and he was not approved in the words of a once famous cartoon character what a bunch of maroons.
>Harry’s Razors…groveled…because some snowflakes
Slight correction- it was one snowflake.
What am I missing? Did Shapiro go on a killing rampage after that video? Did he use secret Jewish powers (that he has joked about) to cause the flooding in Texas? Did he take a Jeremy’s Razor and circumcise all the males in attendance?
The sole individual who whined about Harry’s Razors advertising with Sharpiro, reminds me of sole individuals who bawl about religious displays in public because they were offended by what they saw. What fun it’d be if Shapiro organized a convention, featuring conservative Podcasters and bloggers like Natalie suggested!
