SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20th, 2026
Eleven of the top conservative podcasts published new episodes worth your time today, and we managed to track down full breakdowns for ten of them. Megyn Kelly digs into a bombshell new Diana memoir, Victor Davis Hanson lays out his case for an Iranian “October surprise” before the midterms, and Sean Hannity sits down with Newt Gingrich to talk 2026 predictions — plus deep dives on the Lindsay Clancy juror saga from three different shows, Glenn Beck's warning from Hungary, and more. Here's the rundown.

Megyn Kelly sat down with journalist Maureen Callahan to dig into a new memoir from Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, touching on Diana's mental health, a family rift over the funeral procession, and fresh claims about Prince Charles's reaction to her death. The conversation also drifted into current celebrity culture, from Lena Dunham's surrogacy to Oprah's latest media turn.

Tucker Carlson interviews the parents of Brian Cole Jr., the man accused of being the January 6th Capitol pipe bomber, who argue federal investigators scapegoated their son — who has no criminal record and no known Jan. 6 attendance — to close a five-year-old cold case.
Cole was arrested in Dec. 2023, shortly after a retired Capitol Police officer was publicly floated as a suspect
His parents and a 16-year-old nephew were handcuffed in the raid; none of them were ever charged
Cole, 31, is on the autism spectrum and is held without bond on weapons-of-mass-destruction charges despite the devices reportedly being confirmed inert
Trial isn't set until February 2027, more than a year after his arrest
