MeidasTouch Won But This Belongs to You!!

Meidas Mighty,

Last night was one of those moments I’ll never forget.

We won the iHeart Award for News Podcast of the Year.

And not just any category—this was one of the biggest awards of the night. We were up against The Daily, The Megyn Kelly Show, Pivot, and Up First from NPR. Shows backed by massive platforms, deep resources, and years of establishment recognition.

And somehow, together, we won.

When we went on stage, something happened I didn’t expect. As we spoke about fighting for democracy, about standing up to fascism, about refusing to stay silent in the face of lies and chaos…

The crowd stood up.

A standing ovation.

Not for us—but for what this community represents.

Because this has never been about a podcast. This has never been about a show. This has always been about a movement of people who refuse to let their country be dragged into darkness.

We dedicated that award to you.

To every member of the Meidas Mighty who watches, shares, subscribes, and fights alongside us every single day.

You built this.

And at a time when the stakes could not be higher.

Because right now, as we’re writing this, Trump’s reckless war in Iran is spiraling further out of control. He’s isolated on the world stage. Allies are backing away. The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is becoming more dangerous by the hour.

And what we’re seeing, day after day, is not leadership. It’s panic. It’s desperation. It’s a man completely in over his head, while the consequences ripple across the globe.

That’s why this work matters.

That’s why you matter.

We’re not slowing down. Not now. Not after this. If anything, this award is a reminder that we have to go even harder, reach even more people, and continue telling the truth no matter how loud the noise gets.

But here’s the reality:

The only way we grow this movement—and meet this moment—is with your support.

If you’re reading this and you haven’t subscribed yet, now is the time.

Because every single subscription fuels this fight.

Every single one expands our reach.

Every single one pushes back against the chaos.

We’re building something powerful together. Last night proved it.

Now let’s take it even further.

Join us. Stand with us. Grow this movement.
