Independent creators have to find a way to succeed, often without a network to support them and a safety net to fall back on.. In fact, 80% of the ORBIT top 15 performing podcasts are indies. But what does it take to win on their own… and is it worth it? Find out in an all-new Media Roundtable: Special Edition . Direct from Podcast Movement Evolutions at SXSW, Dan Granger (CEO & Founder, Oxford Road ) takes the stage with three of the hardest-working, most successful independent podcasters: Hala Taha (CEO & Founder, YAP Media , Host, Young and Profiting ) and Brett and Jordy Meiselas (Co-founders, MeidasTouch Network , Hosts, The MeidasTouch Podcast ). The panelists get real about the joys and struggles of podcasting without a net. Join them as they talk: Audience Trust, Loving Crunches, True Partnerships, and more. Let’s dig in. “ The pro [of being independent] is that you have complete autonomy over your content and everything that happens, whether it's a success or a failure, falls on you. The con is the same exact thing.” - Brett Meiselas (Co-founder, MeidasTouch Network , Host, The MeidasTouch Podcast ) See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .

Donald Trump wrote The Art of the Deal to sell the image of a master negotiator. However, no amount of ghostwritten bravado can cover up the plain truth: Trump has no deal-making abilities. Worse, he's proving now that he has no respect for the law, the courts, or the Constitution he swore to uphold. His refusal to comply with the Supreme Court's order to return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia — a Maryland father wrongfully deported to a foreign prison — exposes the dangerous fraud at the heart of his so-called leadership. When the president refuses to obey the law and no one holds him accountable, we have dictatorship. - Keith Boykin The possibility of arbitrary imprisonment by a sovereign, resulting in imprisonment abroad, is one criterion separating democracies from dictatorships. - Robert Reich This is what fascism looks like in real time: calling a wrongfully deported man a terrorist, claiming the power to strip American citizens of their rights, and floating the use of foreign prison camps as a solution to so-called “crime.” If they can do it to him, they can do it to any of us. - Brett Meiselas MeidasTouch Network Trump is not a dealmaker. He is a deal-breaker — breaking the fundamental deal that binds us all: the rule of law. In America, no president is above the law. Courts issue rulings and the executive branch is bound to follow them. This is Civics 101. Yet, Trump has chosen to spit on this foundational principle , treating the Supreme Court as a mere inconvenience rather than a co-equal branch of government. Despite the Court's clear and unanimous ruling, Trump has defied orders to return Mr. Abrego Garcia while lying to the American people , claiming it is "impractical" or "impossible" to comply. This is nonsense. Previous administrations have returned wrongfully deported individuals, without issue. The truth is simple: Trump won't do it. And while he defies our courts, Trump is doing something even more dangerous. He is planning mass arrests, mass deportations , and possibly the deployment of National Guard troops under federal command ( Title 10 authority ) to terrorize our communities. He is using the language of a dictator, threatening to crush states and cities that resist his unlawful orders and demanding governors fall in line with his authoritarian agenda. He is holding our states hostage, treating our people as enemies of the state for simply demanding our constitutional rights. Let's be clear: what Trump is doing is not just a policy disagreement — it is a betrayal of every American who has worn the uniform , every family who has sacrificed for this country, and every citizen who believes in the promise of democracy. He is mocking our communities by dragging us into an illegal war against our own people. Trump's twisted vision doesn't stop at our borders. He's not jus

So, Trump is reelected. What next? One thing I will say, this is NOT the time to despair. This is NOT the time for fear. This IS the time to stand together against the shameful forces of bigotry that produced this sad result. A convicted felon who has proven to be a pathological liar, who uses Hitler's rhetoric and is showing signs of dementia will be given the nuclear weapon button. Trump and the GOP sold fascism and neo Nazism--and won. So, what next? While Brett Meiselas of the Meidas Network is warning us to avoid nastiness, to avoid name calling, the Trumpers are LAUGHING. Those of us who have a sense of moral outrage, decency and compassion must bring back a sense of shame to the American public. We do NOT owe Trump voters ANYTHING. We do NOT owe them courtesy. We do NOT owe them 'civility.' We do NOT owe them friendship. We must ostracize these shameful bigots for the fascist wanna be's they have proven to be. Sunday, I will run a show reviewing the sum total of Trump's crimes and how his enablers allowed this perversion of justice to occur. I will also run a few musical parodies. Come join me. Jeanine
