Soros Fund Management, founded by nonagenarian plutocrat and convicted insider trader George Soros, is investing heavily in radio and podcasting as his empire passes into the hands of his White House-linked son, Alex Soros.
Sources who have “been involved in discussions with Soros executives” have revealed the 93-year-old globalist may be preparing the ground for a major “audio buying spree,” having already invested millions in the industry since 2022.
These investments include backing a firm involved in the 2022 takeover of 18 Hispanic radio stations, including Cuban conservative stations in Miami, which Democrat operatives will now oversee. Also in 2022, Soros invested an “undisclosed sum” in podcasting network ‘Crooked Media,’ which hosts the Pod Save America show — a significant player in leftist media, fronted by Barack Obama staffers and boasting around 1.5 million listeners per episode.
This year, Soros Fund Management became the number one shareholder of Audacy, which, with over 230 stations, is the second-largest radio broadcaster in the United States and also runs a podcasting arm.
One of several podcasting companies Soros is looking to buy into is Lemonada, which recently signed divorced actress turned problem royal Meghan Markle.
Semafor, the globalist media outlet that reported the mooted “buying spree,” noted it could impact the U.S. election in November and suggested conservative radio hosts may feel unable to “second-guess” potentially fraudulent results.
