Steven Crowder contends that political figures using podcasts with sponsors acts as a potential money-laundering or influence-buying scheme.

“I am convinced that this is a money laundering scheme for politicians and comment if you think Gerald disagrees”

A podcast is a perfect medium for a politician to build trust and allow the electorate to get to know them.

“I'm like, surely if politicians want to get to know the electorate or want the electorate to get to know them, this is a perfect medium for it.”
