Supports. Wikipedia states that Peters launched The Stew Peters Show in 2020 and that it was a podcast from that launch.[2]
Supports. Podchaser reports that The Stew Peters Show launched its first episode on December 28, 2020.[3]
Context. Listen Notes lists 1396 episodes 'since March 9, 2021,' which may reflect when its database episode record begins rather than the podcast's launch date.[4]
Context. The extracted claim matches the passage, which says 'He launched his podcast in 2020,' so no extraction departure applies. The Politifact profile does not address the launch date.[1]
