WikiLeaks
founder Julian Assange has hinted that he may start a weekly radio
show from the Ecuadorean Embassy in London.
Assange
dropped the hint on Twitter, saying the idea had been suggested by
“several US networks."
Assange
reached out to his followers looking for name and format suggestions
for the potential project. He received numerous responses, including
‘Transparency Now!’, ‘WikiSpeaks’, ‘Weekly Leaks’,
‘Doctor Spill’ and ‘Julian Assange's Insufferable Podcast’.
One
suggestion called on Assange do a cooking show called 'Julienned with
Julian Assange.'
While not
everyone was in favor of the proposed show, Conservative American TV
and radio host Sean Hannity described the show as a "great idea"
and even offered to allow Assange take over his job for a day. "If
you would like to fill in for me one day I am on over 550 stations
and 14 plus million listeners,” he tweeted.
Replying to
Hannity's offer, Assange responded: "Great! Now if only MSNBC
et al had the same courage to have people host they don't always
agree with!"
He also told
CNN that he's "looking into" ways of guest hosting the
show.
