Westwood One will launch "The Bongino Report PM with Dan Bongino (pictured) and Shawn Farash," a new nationally syndicated three-hour weekday radio program, on Monday, August 24. The show will air weekdays from 3-6pm ET, combining a live first hour hosted by Farash with two hours featuring Bongino. The program will focus on breaking news, politics, current events, culture and other topics driving the national conversation.

Farash will host the opening hour live, offering reaction to the day's headlines, listener interaction and commentary. Bongino will take over for hours two and three with his analysis and perspective on political and cultural issues.

The new program marks Bongino's return to Westwood One and expands the syndicator's spoken-word lineup with a new offering targeted to afternoon drive.

"I'm excited to partner with Shawn to bring listeners a daily program focused on the stories that matter most," said Bongino. "Our goal is simple: deliver honest analysis and keep our audience informed and engaged. Radio remains one of the most powerful ways to connect directly with people, and I'm excited to be back on Westwood One!"

Farash called the show "an incredible opportunity" to connect with listeners nationwide. "Working alongside Dan and the team at Westwood One allows us to bring a fresh, energetic approach to afternoons while staying focused on the stories our audience cares about most."

Westwood One President Collin Jones said the pairing creates a new destination for afternoon radio.

"Dan Bongino and Shawn Farash each bring a passionate following, and we are thrilled to offer affiliates a dynamic program that delivers timely content and engages listeners in afternoon drive," Jones said.
