Gnaw my conscience. I\u2019ve already felt that beginning. The only way forward for me is to leave the band.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now it looks like the musician is ready for new sort of gig. He <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrWinMarshall\/status\/1472874174469316611?s=20\">announced<\/a> on Twitter on Dec. 20 that he has partnered with the conservative British culture journal, The Spectator, to launch a new podcast titled \u201cMarshall Matters.\u201d Marshall promised it will include interviews with \u201cpeople across the creative industries to find out what indeed is the state of the arts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is gonna be fun,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Since voluntarily leaving the multi-platinum Mumford and Sons, the banjo-player and guitarist has been busy <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrWinMarshall\/status\/1463175484997525507?s=20\">calling<\/a> for solidarity with the Uyghur population as they continue to face genocide at the hands of the Chinese government. In November, he co-sponsored a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrWinMarshall\/status\/1462030038589743109?s=20\">London fundraiser<\/a> featuring Uyghur music, art, and food.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall also appears to be enjoying a newfound freedom to speak his mind, posting <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrWinMarshall\/status\/1462205622003326985?s=20\">photos<\/a> of his meetings with iconoclastic intellectuals like Jordan Peterson and quoting such \u201cdark web\u201d thinkers as Bari Weiss. In October, he highlighted an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commentary.org\/articles\/bari-weiss\/resist-woke-revolution\/\">essay<\/a> by Weiss about the path out of wokeness titled \u201cWe Got Here Because of Cowardice. We Get Out With Courage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marshall <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrWinMarshall\/status\/1448933224873398275?s=20\">quoted<\/a> her, \u201cDiversity is replaced with homogeneity of thought. Inclusion, with exclusion. In this ideology, speech is violence. But violence, when carried out by the right people in pursuit of a just cause, is not violence at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He explained in June how he ultimately reached his decision to leave Mumford and Sons by quoting Soviet dissident Alexandr Solzhenitsyn\u2019s famous essay, \u201cLive Not By Lies.\u201d At the time he said he read it \u201cmany times\u201d after woke mobs started demanding the band kick him out if he refused to stop making positive statements about right-leaning public figures and ideas.<\/p>\n<p>In the passage, the Russian novelist issues a clarion call to speak truth in the face of political oppression:<\/p>\n<p><em>And he who is not sufficiently courageous to defend his soul \u2014 don\u2019t let him be proud of his \u201cprogressive\u201d views, and don\u2019t let him boast that he is an academician or a people\u2019s artist, a distinguished figure or a general. Let him say to himself: I am a part of the herd and a coward. It\u2019s all the same to me as long as I\u2019m fed and kept warm.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Marshall\u2019s new podcast will debut in 2022.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
