The show is advertised as a political commentary and is not a blog. Even if it was, considering its status it wouldn't even matter. By your logic all shows that center around a single host i.e. "The Michelle Obama Podcast", "The Joe Rogan Experience", "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend", etc. should be merged.

This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.
Please stay calm and civil while commenting or presenting evidence, and do not make personal attacks. Be patient when approaching solutions to any issues. Ifconsensus is not reached, other solutions exist to draw attention and ensure that more editors mediate or comment on the dispute.
The subject of this article is controversial and content may be in dispute. When updating the article, be bold, but not reckless. Feel free to try to improve the article, but don't take it personally if your changes are reversed; instead, come here to the talk page to discuss them. Content must be written from a neutral point of view. Include citations when adding content and consider tagging or removing unsourced information.
Warning: active arbitration remedies
The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article is related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this article:
You may not make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on this article (except in limited circumstances)
Violations of any of these restrictions should be reported immediately to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard.
Editors who are aware of this topic being designated a contentious topic and who violate these restrictions may be sanctioned by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:
Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as obvious vandalism.
In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.
Whenever you are relying on one of these exemptions, you should refer to it in your edit summary and, if applicable, link to the discussion where consensus was clearly established.
There have been attempts to recruit editors of specific viewpoints to this article, in a manner that does not comply with Wikipedia's policies. Editors are encouraged to use neutral mechanisms for requesting outside input (e.g. a "request for comment", a third opinion or other noticeboard post, or neutral criteria: "pinging all editors who have edited this page in the last 48 hours"). If someone has asked you to provide your opinion here, examine the arguments, not the editors who have made them. Reminder: disputes are resolved by consensus, not by majority vote.
LGBT Section Shapiro/Tur interaction is mischaracterized.
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
In the LGBT rights section the following sentence is misleading.
"After Shapiro repeatedly referred to Tur, who is a trans woman, with male pronouns, she placed her hands around his neck and threatened on air to send him "home in an ambulance".
It should read:
"After Shapiro repeatedly referred to Tur, who is a trans woman, with male pronouns, she placed a hand on the back of his neck and threatened on air to send him "home in an ambulance".
The original sentence makes it sound like she was threatening to choke him. You can watch the interaction on YouTube. She placed one hand on the back of his neck and made the statement after he called her "sir".
Additionally, I made an edit to the same section. Shapiro referred to Jenner with male pronouns, not to Tur. The heated exchange between Shapiro and Tur began when he referred to Tur as "sir". The cited sources say the exact same thing so I did not modify the sources. -- zaiisao(talk | contribs)06:44, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
“far-right... Breitbart News”
Whilst the use of this descriptor is also present in the article for Breitbart, its use here is also worth discussing separately. The source seems somewhat dubious, as a quick Google search will reveal sources tend to describe the site as right-wing. The contention of this phrase is not worth importing into this article; readers can and ought to click on the hyperlink to find out more about the outlet. thorpewilliam (talk) 00:17, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Thorpewilliam: Hello. There have been long discussions of this at the Breitbart TP (something like 10 RfCs). The consensus is that Breitbart is considered a "far-right" news source. However, I completely agree with your sentiments that the descriptor is not relevant in the lead of this BLP. You're correct; users can easily click on the wikilink to learn about Breitbart. This article is not about Breitbart--it's about Shapiro. Why do you think we don't label Ami Magazine as an Orthodox Jewish publication or label Daily Wire as a right-wing source in this article? There's no dispute that those labels are not accurate, however this article is not about Ami Magazine or Daily Wire, so it's not necessary to add those extraneous qualifiers. Some logic should apply to the Breitbart descriptor. Dr.Swag Lord, Ph.d (talk) 06:40, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I propose a merger from The Ben Shapiro Show and redirecting that article here. Actually the content seems pretty well merged already, the podcast doesn't seem to be independently notable from Shapiro, and it barely rates a paragraph, the content of which is in this article under "Host" and a tiny bit in "Political Positions" anyways. The page for The Ben Shapiro Show appears to have been created as promotional content [1] containing mostly mentions to self-awarded awards and promotional ad copy links (links to Daily Wire, "Westwood One", "iHeartRadio Podcast Awards") from companies involved in producing or transmitting it, which is not allowable under WP:PROMOIHateAccounts (talk) 19:13, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would have to disagree. As this is a broadcasted copyrighted podcast that is also televised, it exists as a separate entity to Ben Shapiro. Many other shows and podcasts are available as separate articles such as the very famous "Joe Rogan Experience" and almost every other televised broadcast. Events that happen on broadcasts should be recorded and made publicly available as a separate entity to a person's biography page. Anon 21:29, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
Noting that the above "Anon" was IP-hopping on US Air Force addresses or proxies, trying to remove this proposal and then leaving the comment as "131.13.100.86" then signing it as "138.163.106.72", and also deleting other comments/proposals and leaving some nasty personal attacks as "131.13.100.66"[2][3].
