Fox News Host Laura Ingraham Drops Radio Show for Podcast, Citing Family

"Although I will greatly miss my radio listeners and affiliates, working late nights and early mornings has taken a toll on my family life," Ingraham said.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham, "the most-listened-to woman in America on political talk radio," is ending her daily, three-hour-long radio show and launching an "original series" for podcast network PodcastOne.

“While hosting a prime-time television show and raising three children on my own, continuing a three-hour morning radio show was no longer feasible,” Ingraham said in the announcement. “Although I will greatly miss my radio listeners and affiliates, working late nights and early mornings has taken a toll on my family life."

Ingraham continued: "Plus, my radio audience is smart, savvy and committed, and I know most will follow my new show in the format that is revolutionizing the audio world — digital podcasting.”

Coincidence that this comes shortly after she lost many of her radio sponsors? Anyone out there crying?

The local blowtorch is right wing radio 24/7. Levin, Hannity, Rushie, on and on and on.

She has pretty much lost her humanity as well in the process. It's a good thing for her that she never gave it much priority in the first place.

… for the children. I think they might have been better off with the nanny, cook, and servants.
