Ever since Chris Cuomo was terminated by CNN, speculation has been rife about what he’s going to do next. And now, after memorably describing himself as a “free agent,” per the New York Post, the former anchor’s comeback is apparently in the offing. Cuomo teased a mysterious new venture entitled “The Chris Cuomo Project” on his Instagram, which Page Six confirms will take the form of a podcast that will also stream online, both on YouTube and on his personal website. Likewise, the former CNN star is also selling “Free Agent” merch, reputedly for a good cause.

“His podcast will be recorded and streamed. Chris is loaded, so he will do it right,” an insider revealed, before clarifying, “And he’s doing this not to make money, it is to get his voice back out there.” After Cuomo’s relationship with CNN broke down completely, he’s chosen to go “rogue” in an act “of defiance” against them. As for who else we can expect to hear on the show, a teaser promised fellow “free agents,” who have also “paved their own way to express his concept.” 

People confirm the first guest is Sean Penn, with whom Cuomo notably posed in videos captured in Ukraine. Both men were working to raise awareness of the ongoing war in the country, but their episode also covers Cuomo’s next steps. As he argued emphatically, “It’s time for me to move on.”
