For years, right-wing political commentator Ben Shapiro has read out the standard 60-second host-read ad, plugging sponsors with the same no-frills efficiency on his podcast.
But this year, his audience will hear something new: real-time answers verifying claims thanks to AI search engine, Perplexity.

Instead of a scripted endorsement, Shapiro will integrate Perplexity into podcast The Ben Shapiro Show—hosted on The Daily Wire, the conservative media outlet he co-founded in 2015—using it mid-show to verify claims, dig into cultural topics, and reinforce his signature mantra: facts over feelings.
