Based Underground is now a conservative news aggregator AND curated newsletter.
Today, The Two Mikes spoke with J.D. Rucker, a founder of the Freedom First Network, and so is the boss of The Two Mikes. Mr. Rucker joined us today to mark the program’s 100th podcast.
The program’s discussion focused on the evolution of the Two Mikes Show and the surprising success of a podcast that chose to offer only audio programming. The Mikes suggested that, in many ways, audio broadcasts tend to allow listeners to closely focus on the program’s content and not be distracted by a flashing video.
Mr. Rucker agreed and said that, at the start, he too doubted the appeal of audio only shows. This consensus means The Two Mikes will continue to be an audio-only broadcast, thereby continuing a successful approach and preventing the show’s audience from enduring the not-quite-movie-star looks of the Two Mikes.
“Col. Mike can no longer go around telling the ladies, he is Michael Douglas as he did in his early years.” Gravity has a way with age. Dr. Mike is doing better with age as he us sometimes called Dr. Hair in media circles.
Another consensus emerging from our conversation was the sincere gratitude and respect that we have for the people who listen to and support a program that consists of two senior chaps who are bound and determined to deliver an America First Republic to their children and grandchildren. As well as some good laughs which are badly needed in our society today.
Note: Co-founder Jeff Dornik was on official business and we hope he will join us soon.
New Conservative Network Seeks Crowdfunding Help
They say we have to go big or go home. We’re trying to go big and bring the patriotic truth the the nation, but we need help.
Readers may or may not realize that over the past year, we’ve been bringing more conservative news and opinion outlets under our wing. Don’t take our expansion as a sign of riches; all of the “acquisitions” have been through sweat and promises of greater things to come for all involved. As a result, we’ve been able to bring together several independent media sites under a unified vision of preventing America from succumbing to the progressive, “woke,” Neo-Marxist ideologies that are spreading like wildfire across America.
The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).
To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $3000-$7000 per month. In other words, we’re in the red and hemorrhaging.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring the truth to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well.
- Preserve your retirement with physical precious metals. Receive your free gold guide from Genesis Precious Metals to learn how.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
