In a major shakeup that marks a new chapter in both conservative media and federal law enforcement, Vince Coglianese—editorial director at The Daily Caller—has been tapped to replace Dan Bongino as host of his nationally syndicated Westwood One radio show and accompanying podcast. The transition comes as Bongino himself steps away from political commentary to assume his new role as FBI Deputy Director under Director Kash Patel.
A Seamless Transition in Conservative Media
Dan Bongino, who has long been a prominent voice in conservative circles, announced that his final show will air on March 14. Starting March 17, Vince Coglianese will helm the revamped programs, which will be rebranded as “VINCE” on radio and “VINCE Podcast” online. Bongino, known for his energetic delivery and unapologetic style, had been grooming Coglianese for this role by inviting her as a guest host on his show on multiple occasions. Now, he’s ready to hand over the reins, confident in her ability to carry forward the legacy of his broadcast.
“‘He is fantastic, I promise you I only bring the best people, you are gonna love him,’” Bongino said in an enthusiastic endorsement during a recent broadcast. His warm recommendation underscores a trust in Coglianese’s expertise and ability to connect with the audience, ensuring that the quality and integrity of the show will continue unabated.
The decision to rebrand the shows comes as part of a broader strategic move. While the programs have built a loyal following under the banner of “The Dan Bongino Show,” the new names are intended to signal a fresh start. Despite the change in title, the content will maintain the same focus on conservative politics, current affairs, and issues central to American governance and law enforcement.
