Big News From MeidasTouch…Is CBS JEALOUS?!!

By Ben Meiselas

First, I want to start off by thanking you. Whether you subscribe to this Substack or help spread the word about MeidasTouch, you’ve been the backbone of this movement.

Based on the latest Podscribe data I just received, I can confirm the big news that the MeidasTouch Podcast got more downloads than Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson combined in the month of June. We continue to beat all cable news in digital views as well.

A high-level source inside CBS told me today that many of the execs there have said they view MeidasTouch as significantly more influential than what CBS has become. As the parent company of CBS sold out and settled with Trump in his BS lawsuit against 60 Minutes, I’ve been told that their anchors would much rather be at Meidas than where they are now.

I would love one day for MeidasTouch to distribute a show like 60 Minutes. I think we are getting closer to doing something like that.

There are a few areas of expansion that I want to share exclusively on our Substack as well.

We are going to be extending our presence in Canada. I am finalizing the details there. We are also building out our film and documentary division. We will be producing more films soon. We will make sure to give exclusive details to our Substack subscribers.

We’ve also been having a great deal of momentum around the new show I do with Ron Filipkowski here on Substack called Ask the Editor. It is only available to subscribers. Ron and I answer your questions on the new show.

Ask the Editor-in-Chief: 7/9/25

This is a time of rapid expansion for MeidasTouch.

This rapid expansion is fueled by our subscribers here.

I am just learning that Jeff Bezos is reported to buy Condé Nast and control more media. I think that’s BS. You have Fox controlled by the Murdochs. You’ve got CBS controlled by the Redstones. You’ve got ABC owned by Disney, which has private equity as its top shareholders.

Then you have us. Funded by Substack subscribers. Now, we have a bigger reach than all corporate news. This is the future. This is what a people-powered network looks like. It looks like you. Because you did this.

Look what they made you do!

You and I and this community control the narrative now. We use facts and truth and we are aggressive as can be. And we won’t be stopped or slowed or distracted. We’ve left Fox and cable news in the dust and we lead the way.

Of course, we can’t take our rapid growth for granted. We need to keep on growing. I want to make a statement this month and hit more Substack subscribers than any prior month. I want to expand our operations even bigger.

We need your help.
