Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire has announced that Matt Fradd and his popular Catholic podcast "Pints with Aquinas" will be joining the platform in 2026.

"We're pumped to have @mattfradd & Pints With Aquinas join the Daily Wire in 2026," the company announced.

This move will certainly give Fradd access to a larger platform to continue his mission, but Daily Wire was quick to reassure fans, stating that "Pints isn't changing. It's just getting bigger."

About Pints with Aquinas

"Pints with Aquinas" has become a well-known voice in Catholic media, hosted by Matt Fradd. The podcast's name comes from St. Thomas Aquinas, the influential 13th-century philosopher and theologian.

The show tackles big questions about faith, philosophy, and how to live a good life, but does so in a down-to-earth, conversational way. Fradd regularly brings on guests, for example theologians, philosophers, writers, and people who've found their way to Catholicism.

Fans are worried

The announcement hasn't been universally welcomed. Online, many long-time listeners have expressed concerns about what the partnership might mean for the show. Some worry that joining Daily Wire could affect the podcast's content, its tone, or Fradd's editorial independence.
