Following a viral podcast episode with far-right politician Björn Höcke, media regulators in North Rhine-Westphalia demand host Ben Berndt revise the content.

The episode, which has garnered over six million views, has prompted the Landesanstalt für Medien NRW to issue a notice to Berndt, claiming potential violations of journalistic standards.

Berndt, asserting his right to free speech, plans to challenge the authority’s request legally, arguing that compliance could lead to broader censorship of podcasters.
