Wikileaks founder Julian Assange could get his own radio show

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has hinted he could be a guest host on a US radio show.

Assange said he was “looking into” featuring on a talk show hosted by Fox News Anchor Sean Hannity. However, Assange conceded this would be difficult owing to him living inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London, which he has not left for five years – “My physical circumstances means that nothing is easy,” he told CNN in a direct Twitter message.

He had first outlined his plans to take to the airwaves on Twitter, saying several US networks had suggested the idea…

Several US networks suggest I start a weekly radio broadcast/podcast from within the embassy siege. A good idea? Ideas for format, title?

The Sean Hannity Show host then replied to the message, inviting Assange to “fill in” for him…

@JulianAssange If you would like to fill in for me one day I am on over 550 stations and 14 plus million listeners. https://t.co/qXUQAup7Of

Assange had been interviewed several times on Hannity’s Fox show in the past few months, but the two didn’t always get along. Back in 2010, Hannity declared that Wikileaks and Assange would lead to many deaths.

If his radio spot is secured, the man behind Wikileaks will have to broadcast from the embassy. Although Swedish prosecutors have dropped the investigation into rape accusations against Assange, if he steps outside Scotland Yard said they will arrest the Wikileaks founder for his 2012 breach of bail offence.
