Former Newsmax White House correspondent Emerald Robinson has a new job as she joins LindellTV, an online network founded by My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell.

According to Lindell, Robinson will have her show which begins at 9:00 am ET on LindellTV. There are no further details on what type of show she’ll bring to the media outlet. 

Lindell announced the news on Instagram Monday, thanking her previous employer, Newsmax, which dropped her in January after a sequence of tweets promoting satanical conspiracy theories concerning the COVID-19 vaccine.

The tweets resulted in Robinson being banned from Twitter after repeatedly violating the platform’s guidelines about sharing COVID-19 misinformation. 

Among the tweets that earned her a permanent suspension asserted COVID-19 vaccines “contain a bioluminescent marker called LUCIFERASE so that you can be tracked.”

Newsmax sidelined Robinson after the “bioluminescent marker” tweet and announced that they would not renew her contract when it expired in January. Robinson was replaced by James Rosen, a former Fox News reporter, as Newsmax’s White House correspondent.

Spotify has announced it will debut an AI-powered voice translator, with the hope of eventually putting podcasts into numerous different languages for listeners around the globe.

The company’s CEO — Daniel Ek — shared a video to X showcasing the Voice Translation capabilities from English to Spanish featuring podcasters Steven Bartlett and Lex Fridman.

The program is currently in its pilot stage, with the company utilizing podcasts from Dax Shepard, Bill Simmons, and Monica Padman in addition to Bartlett and Fridman to generate translations in Spanish, French, and German.

“By matching the creator’s own voice, Voice Translation gives listeners around the world the power to discover and be inspired by new podcasters in a more authentic way than ever before,” says Spotify Vice President of Personalization Ziad Sultan. “We believe that a thoughtful approach to AI can help build deeper connections between listeners and creators, a key component of Spotify’s mission to unlock the potential of human creativity.”

New episodes of podcasts hosted by the platform will begin hitting feeds today, with users being able to find them in a Voice Translations Hub on the company’s app.

Michael Bloomberg Announces Succession Plan After Executive Shakeup

“At 81 years old, common sense says I should have succession plans.”

After an executive shakeup last month, Bloomberg founder Michael Bloomberg has announced plans for his media empire after he passes away.

In an appearance at a climate change summit hosted by The New York Times, Bloomberg revealed his media companies would be left to his foundation before being sold.

“I give virtually all of the company’s profits to the foundation, and the foundation gave away last year $1.7 billion,” said Bloomberg. “This year it will be a little bit more than that. But when I die, the foundation inherits the company. They — because of the tax laws — will have to get rid of it, sell it someplace or other over the first five years.”

He added “At 81 years old, common sense says I should have succession plans.”

In August, Vlad Kliatchko was named CEO of the company, with several other changes taking place on the Board of Directors. At the time, Bloomberg noted that he was likely to be interrogated about a potential succession plan.

“I’m sure these changes raise questions about me, so let me put them to rest: I’m not going anywhere,” the billionaire told employees in a memo at the time. “I’ve never used a title in the company, so I won’t change what I’ll be called – just ‘Mike.'”
