Joe Walsh on talk radio?

He has just stopped running but said in August that he had no plans to return to talk radio.

AP. today: "Former Illinois congressman Joe Walsh ended his Republican primary challenge to President Donald Trump on Friday, "

Last August:
>>“I’m done with talk radio, and that makes me sad,” Walsh said Sunday on “Beyond the Beltway with Bruce DuMont.” “But to me this is a bigger mission. I’ve got to do what I can to make sure this guy can’t be reelected"

(Walsh struggled and could not get on that ballot in several states including his own, Illinois.)
 
He also wrote about the futility of getting Trump fans to even listen to him, and got booed off the stage in Iowa but red hats. There's no future for him in a party that demands 100% fealty to Trump, lest one's head end up on a pike.

Once Joe Walsh stops running for President, what are his best options to return to talk radio?

There is no way he is going to return to radio in less he buts his own radio time, he had already ended it last week even without getting out there and campaigning like many of the Democrats have been doing, as I am assuming he is seeing it as a lost cause. Robert Feder had a report about it last week, but I don't even think he has decided what he wants to do right now, but it won't be a return to talk radio. Right now he is planning to vote for whoever will run for the Democrats in the election, since pretty much in less something happens, that will make Donald Trump a lame duck president, which would be f he fails to get the nomination once again for this year. But as of now Trump still has two challengers left and they are Bill Weld, and Rocky De La Fuente as you can see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election . So far these two guys are still in the running and challenging him which when is it the Republicans turn, to start getting going with their primaries?

No immediate path comes to mind. I think he made a grave error in giving up a good job for an ego trip.

You might think so, but he said he was staled out or had enough of doing a talk radio show on a regular basis. He had no way off knowing last August or summer, that he would have gone this long without really being on the campaign trail, or having even a couple of more people also challenging Donal Trump.
 
Only he'll be able to decide if it was the wrong decision for him or not. He was kind of a fluke being elected to Congress and is unlikely to have a lot of earning opportunities remaining. Any objective look at his candidacy must conclude that he had no impact on the race this year. Therefore, if he doesn't end up with a job close to or exceeding the income he made as a host, his running was a bust by at least one measure.
