Fans are raising questions about the future of Karl Stefanovic’s podcast after the show went mysteriously quiet in the last few weeks.
The former Channel Nine star’s podcast had become one of the most-discussed shows in Australia after airing an interview with controversial figure Tommy Robinson in June — a move that led to Stefanovic parting ways with the network after more than two decades.
Despite the ex-presenter promising to focus his efforts on the Karl Stefanovic Show full-time after his abrupt TV exit, loyal fans have been left worried as no episodes or new content have been released in weeks.

The popular podcast last released an episode on August 24 featuring an interview with surgeon Dr Buck Parker.
It’s a startling contrast for the highly active show — given the star had been sharing new interviews and episodes on streaming services almost daily since he sensationally went independent.
In the two weeks before the Dr Parker interview, Stefanovic had released 10 full-length episodes as well as an array of social media content about the interviews he conducted.

Stefanovic fans were left even more puzzled upon discovering the Facebook page for the 52-year-old’s show had been shockingly removed from the social media platform.
The Instagram and YouTube pages for the Karl Stefanovic Show have since been flooded by concerned listeners seeking an update on the show’s future.
“Why are there no new episodes? Where have you gone Karl?” one listener wrote, while another asked: “Karl, where have you gone mate?”
“I’m concerned Karl, you haven’t posted in two weeks and your Facebook page has disappeared,” a YouTube viewer added to the discussion.
“Almost two weeks and nothing new from Karl?! What is happening?” another fan added.
It’s not just the media personality’s podcast accounts that have gone silent — with others noting that Stefanovic had not shared anything on his personal social media since August 29.
His last post was a video discussing his visit to the Salami Festival at Mandole Orchard in NSW’s Griffin — with the 30-second clip ending with a promise that the star would “see you all soon”.
However, fans have not heard a peep from the star since the video.
The couple’s German Shepherd, named Chance the Yapper, had been issued a dangerous dog declaration earlier this year after the eight-year-old allegedly “attacked a person without provocation, causing serious injury”.
The declaration, issued by North Sydney Council, meant the star’s dog was at risk of euthanasia.
The couple launched legal action against the council in early August, and reached a settlement in the case last week.
Under the agreement, the dangerous dog order has been replaced with a four-year control order — however, the Stefanovics must muzzle the dog in public, install a ‘warning dog’ sign at their property, and take the pup to behavioural training.
