Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling is heading to the conservative media organization Breitbart. The former sports star has been increasingly visible in the news.

Two weeks ago, Schilling penned an opinion piece in the Providence Journal in which he blamed then-governor Lincoln Chafee for the failure of 38 Studios. Schilling helped found the video game company, which subsequently went bankrupt, after receiving tens of millions of dollars in support from the state.

Schilling was part of a recent $2.5 million settlement with the state of Rhode Island over the failure of the video-game company.

According to Breitbart, Schilling will host an online radio show on weekdays from 9 to 11am. The politically conservative website has also enjoyed increased invisibility recently. Breitbart’s chairman signed on to help manage Republican Donald Trump’s presidential campaign this summer.
